Claimant v London North West University Hospital Healthcare NHS Trust

Struck out for non-compliance with tribunal orders. The claimant failed to serve his witness statement by the ordered deadline of 9 January 2025 and was debarred from relying on witness evidence. Despite extensions agreed to 13 and 14 January, he did not serve it until 27 January, two days before the hearing. The tribunal found the breaches were of the greatest magnitude, caused severe prejudice to the respondent who could not take instructions, and made a fair trial impossible.

The tribunal found this caused great unfairness and made a fair trial impossible.
