Claimant v Royal Mail Group Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for want of particularisation of the disability discrimination claim, non-compliance with tribunal orders made on 26th February 2025 and 21st March 2025 requiring further information, and for not being actively pursued by the claimant.
Facts
The claimant brought a disability discrimination claim against Royal Mail Group Ltd but failed to adequately particularise the claim. The tribunal made orders on 26th February 2025 and 21st March 2025 requiring the claimant to provide further information, but the claimant failed to comply with these orders. The claimant appeared in person at the preliminary hearing while the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim on three grounds: lack of particularisation giving the claim no reasonable prospect of success, non-compliance with tribunal orders requiring further information, and failure by the claimant to actively pursue the claim.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must comply with tribunal orders to provide particulars of their claims or risk strike-out, even before a full merits hearing.
