Mr A Jones v 2 Sisters Food Group Ltd: 1600750/2018
JUDGMENT
Upon the respondent’s application and having considered the claimant’s emailed opposition the judgment of the Tribunal is:[1]The claimant’s claim that he was unfairly dismissed by the respondent on 26th February 2018 for a reason related to conduct is struck out (which means that it will not now be subject to further Orders and there will be no final hearing; this is the end of the matter subject to any application for costs, reconsideration or appeal in accordance with applicable time limits and procedures). The claim is struck out because of the claimant’s unreasonable conduct of proceedings, his repeated and continuing breaches of case management orders and his apparent failure to pursue his claim actively.[2]The respondent’s application that the claim be struck out because a fair hearing would not be possible is dismissed; notwithstanding this finding the claim remains struck out in consequence of the judgment at paragraph 1 above.[3]The respondent’s application for a costs order is deferred until a written application with costs schedule is received by the tribunal and served on the claimant whereupon a hearing will be listed unless the parties agree to the matter being dealt with by a judge without a hearing but based on written submissions.
