The order of an employment judge striking out a claimant’s claim because of a failure to provide a schedule of loss was quashed where (1) the failure was because of the illness of the claimant’s legal advisor, (2) the claimant was not told that the striking-out was being contemplated and was not given an opportunity to make submissions, (3) the final hearing of the claim was not imminent and there was about to be a preliminary hearing at which the problem could have been addressed and (4) upon a reconsideration, the employment judge was given the mistaken impression that the schedule had still not been provided.
