Claimant v Staffline Recruitment Limited
Outcome
Facts
The respondent, Staffline Recruitment Limited, made an application to strike out Mr Makara's claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The preliminary hearing was conducted remotely via CVP in Cardiff. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
Decision
Employment Judge Brace dismissed the respondent's strike-out application. The tribunal found that the claim did have reasonable prospects of success and should proceed. Full written reasons were not provided at the hearing but could be requested within 14 days.
Practical note
The threshold for striking out a claim on the basis of no reasonable prospect of success is high, and this application failed to meet that threshold.
