Claimant v The Sheffield College
Outcome
Claimant fails
Individual claims
Otherstruck out
The claim was struck out because the claimant failed to comply with tribunal orders and a fair hearing was no longer possible.
Facts
Mr Sobratee brought a claim against Sheffield College. The tribunal made case management orders which the claimant failed to comply with. The respondent was represented by a solicitor and the claimant by a consultant from Alpha Shindara legal.
Decision
Employment Judge Davies struck out the claim on the basis that the claimant had failed to comply with tribunal orders and that a fair hearing was no longer possible as a result of that non-compliance.
Practical note
Failure to comply with tribunal case management orders can result in a strike-out where it renders a fair hearing impossible, even where the claimant has representation.
