Claimant v Greene King Retail Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal struck out the disability discrimination claims at a preliminary hearing. No reasons are provided in this judgment summary, though reasons were given orally at the hearing.
Facts
Mr Lightfoot brought disability discrimination claims against Greene King Retail Services Limited. The matter came before the tribunal at an open preliminary hearing. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by counsel. A full merits hearing had been scheduled for September 2026.
Decision
Employment Judge Hutchinson struck out all of the claimant's disability discrimination claims at the preliminary hearing. The scheduled full merits hearing was cancelled as a result of the strike-out. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
This case resulted in a complete strike-out of disability discrimination claims at a preliminary hearing, likely due to the claims having no reasonable prospect of success or another jurisdictional defect.
