Claimant v Alderman's Green Community Primary School
Outcome
Claimant fails
Facts
Mrs Igwe brought a claim against Alderman's Green Community Primary School. At a preliminary hearing, she made an application to amend her claim. The tribunal heard arguments from both parties on the amendment application.
Decision
Employment Judge Wedderspoon refused the claimant's application to amend her claim. As a result of this refusal, the entire claim was dismissed.
Practical note
The tribunal has discretion to refuse amendment applications at preliminary hearings, and such refusal can result in dismissal of the claim if the original pleadings were insufficient.
