Claimant v Euro Communications Distribution Limited
Outcome
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing to consider the respondent's applications to strike out the claim as vexatious or having no reasonable prospect of success, or alternatively to order a deposit. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel. The tribunal also needed to consider the claimant's application to amend his claim.
Decision
The tribunal rejected the respondent's strike-out and deposit applications. The claim was allowed to proceed. However, the claimant was ordered to submit his amendment application by 8am on 4 July 2025, failing which the tribunal would consider striking out the claim for non-compliance with tribunal orders.
Practical note
A respondent's application to strike out a claim at a preliminary stage on grounds of vexatiousness or no reasonable prospects was unsuccessful, but the claimant was put on notice that failure to comply with case management orders could lead to strike-out.
