EAT Practice and Procedure: Striking-out/dismissal
Following a long litigation history in which the Claimant, being unwell, was blameless, it was open to the Employment Tribunal to strike out the claims when it found there was no prospect at any time in the future that the Claimant would be ready to proceed. Having considered less draconic steps, it concluded that the litigation was aggravating the Claimant’s chronic fatigue syndrome and a fair trial was impossible, six years after her last working day, and more than three years after her dismissal.
