Outcome
Other
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing to consider the respondent's applications to strike out the claimant's claim and for a deposit order. The claimant appeared in person while OFSTED was represented by counsel. The tribunal heard arguments on whether the claim had reasonable prospects of success.
Decision
Employment Judge Dunlop refused both the strike out application and the deposit order application. The claim was permitted to proceed to a full merits hearing.
Practical note
The respondent's preliminary applications to strike out or impose a deposit order were unsuccessful, allowing the self-represented claimant's case to proceed to full hearing.
