Claimant v Jackson Lees Group Limited

Outcome

Facts

This was a preliminary hearing held in private via video to determine the respondent's application to strike out the claimant's claims. The hearing involved both parties being represented by counsel. The case number indicates it was filed in 2023 in the Manchester tribunal region.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed the respondent's strike-out application, allowing the claimant's claims to proceed. However, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay legal costs to the respondent in the sum of £2,112 inclusive of VAT, suggesting some element of the claimant's conduct or approach warranted a costs award despite the strike-out application failing.
