Claimant v Maxcare Ltd t/a Home Instead Farnborough
Outcome
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing to consider strike-out applications by both parties. The Claimant, Mr Nyanteh, brought claims against Maxcare Ltd, a healthcare provider operating as Home Instead Farnborough. Both the Respondent and the Claimant had made applications to strike out the other party's case.
Decision
Employment Judge Hunt dismissed both strike-out applications. The Respondent's application to strike out the claim was dismissed, and the Claimant's application to strike out the response was also dismissed. The case will therefore proceed to a full hearing on the merits.
Practical note
Strike-out applications by both parties at a preliminary hearing were unsuccessful, demonstrating that neither side's case was so weak as to warrant striking out at this early stage.
