Claimant v Kammac Ltd
Outcome
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing dealing with a procedural application. The claimant, represented by her father as a lay representative, made an application to strike out the respondent's case under Rule 37(1) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure. The respondent was represented by a solicitor. The hearing was conducted remotely by video.
Decision
Employment Judge Cowx refused the claimant's strike-out application, finding it to be without merit. The tribunal determined that there were no grounds under Rule 37(1) to strike out the respondent's response to the claim. Reasons were given orally at the hearing.
Practical note
A claimant's application to strike out a respondent's case is subject to stringent requirements and will be refused where it lacks merit and does not meet the grounds under Rule 37(1).
