EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE: Striking-out/dismissal
Case in which the Employment Tribunal struck out the case on the ground of the way in which the case was conducted under Rule 18(7)(c). The Employment Tribunal reached that decision although there was a stay on proceedings until costs in a previous action had been paid. Following the case of Bennett v London Borough of Southwark [2001] IRLR 407 the Employment Appeal Tribunal refused to activate the stay but remitted the case to a different Chairman to reconsider the decision whether the case shall be struck out and whether the stay should be activated.
