Outcome
Individual claims
All claims within case 1300024/2025 were withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed by the tribunal.
The protected disclosure detriment claim under section 47B ERA 1996 within case 1300032/2025 was withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed by the tribunal.
Facts
Mr Rao brought two separate claims against Smithers MSE Limited. The judgment records the withdrawal of the entirety of the first claim (1300024/2025) and the withdrawal of the whistleblowing detriment claim within the second claim (1300032/2025). Other complaints within the second claim remain live and are unaffected by this judgment.
Decision
Employment Judge Faulkner dismissed claim 1300024/2025 in its entirety upon withdrawal. The judge also dismissed any protected disclosure detriment complaint under section 47B ERA 1996 within claim 1300032/2025 upon withdrawal. The remaining complaints in the second claim continue.
Practical note
Claimants can withdraw specific claims or entire cases at any stage, resulting in dismissal of those withdrawn elements while other claims may proceed.
