Claimant v The Alan Turing Institute Ltd
Outcome
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing on the respondent's application to strike out the claimant's claim. The respondent sought to strike out the claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success under Rule 38(1)(a), or that the manner in which the claimant had conducted the proceedings was unreasonable under Rule 38(1)(b). The claimant represented herself and the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
The Employment Judge refused the respondent's application to strike out the claim under either ground. The claim was permitted to continue to a full hearing.
Practical note
A strike-out application at a preliminary hearing was unsuccessful, allowing the self-represented claimant's case to proceed to full merits hearing despite the respondent's arguments about prospects of success and conduct.
