Claimant v The Chief Constabulary of Hampshire and Isle of Wight
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim 6015169/2025 was struck out in full upon the respondent's application. Claimant did not attend the hearing to defend the claim.
Facts
The claimant Mrs T Turner brought three separate claims against her employer, the Chief Constabulary of Hampshire and Isle of Wight. The respondent made an application to strike out the third claim (6015169/2025) and sought strike out or deposit orders in respect of complaints arising in 2022 in the first two claims. The claimant did not attend the preliminary hearing on 21 August 2025.
Decision
The tribunal granted the respondent's application to strike out claim 6015169/2025 in full. However, the tribunal refused the respondent's application for strike out or deposit orders in respect of complaints arising in 2022 in claims 1401036/2024 and 1401037/2024.
Practical note
Non-attendance by a claimant at a preliminary hearing can result in the strike out of their claim, but tribunals may refuse strike out applications on time limit grounds where other factors are present.
