Facts
Jolanta Klos brought claims against Select Service Partner UK Ltd for detriment resulting from making a protected disclosure (whistleblowing) and race discrimination. The respondent applied to strike out both claims. The case was heard at a public preliminary hearing conducted remotely via video on 10 June 2025.
Decision
Employment Judge Hamour sitting alone granted the respondent's strike out application for both claims. The tribunal found that neither the whistleblowing nor the race discrimination claims had reasonable prospects of success and both were struck out and dismissed.
Practical note
Claims lacking reasonable prospects of success at preliminary hearing stage can be struck out, resulting in complete dismissal without proceeding to a full merits hearing.
