Claimant v Norfolk Broads Direct Limited
Outcome
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing to consider the claimant's application to strike out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 38(1)(c) on the basis that the respondent had not complied with tribunal rules or a tribunal order. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP. Both parties were legally represented, with the claimant represented by a solicitor and the respondent by a litigation consultant.
Decision
The tribunal refused the claimant's application to strike out the claim. The reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were requested at the time. The claim will therefore continue.
Practical note
A claimant's application to strike out their own claim for respondent non-compliance with tribunal orders was refused, demonstrating the high threshold for strike-out applications.
