Outcome
Other
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing concerning the claimant's application to strike out the respondent's response. The hearing took place at Watford Employment Tribunal before Employment Judge Young on 28 January 2025. Both parties were represented at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal refused the claimant's application to strike out the respondent's response, allowing the response to remain. However, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant's preparation time costs of £734.00 within 14 days. The final hearing remains listed.
Practical note
A failed strike-out application can still result in a costs order against the opposing party if their conduct warranted such an order.
