Mr Mohammed brought claims of unfair dismissal, race discrimination, and disability discrimination against Amazon UK Services Limited. The claimant appeared in person at a preliminary hearing. The respondent was represented by counsel.

The tribunal struck out all claims under Rule 38(1) on three grounds: the claimant failed to comply with tribunal rules or orders, the claim was not actively pursued, and a fair hearing was no longer possible.

Claimants who fail to comply with tribunal orders or actively pursue their claims risk having them struck out, even where serious allegations of discrimination are involved.
