Claimant v Secretary of State for the Home Office
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out in its entirety by the tribunal. No written reasons were provided at the hearing and none have been requested, so the specific grounds for strike out are not detailed in the judgment.
Facts
The claimant, Janine Whyte-Weedon, brought employment tribunal proceedings against the Home Office. The claim was filed in 2023 and came before the tribunal for a hearing by video link in Manchester on 17 July 2025. The claimant was represented by a lay representative, while the respondent was represented by counsel.
Decision
Employment Judge Cline struck out the claimant's claim in its entirety. The judge gave oral reasons at the hearing but did not provide written reasons. No written reasons have been subsequently requested by either party within the 14-day time limit.
Practical note
A strike-out resulted in complete dismissal of the claim, but without written reasons the specific grounds and legal basis for the decision cannot be determined from this judgment.
