EAT Practice and Procedure : Striking-Out/Dismissal – Unless Order – non-compliance – effect
The Respondent had failed to comply with an ‘unless order’ and had made no application in any form for relief against sanction. The Employment Judge declined to make an order striking out the Respondent’s responses: he ought to have made an order in effect declaring that the effect of the ‘unless order’ was that the responses were struck out automatically: Scottish Ambulance Service v Laing [2012] UKEAT/0038/12. The Employment Judge’s decision could not be read as granting relief against sanction, but it was still open to the Respondent to apply to the Employment Tribunal for relief against sanction.
