Mr M Hussain v Curry’s Group Ltd: 1805935/2025
JUDGMENT
[1]The title of the Respondent is amended from Currys Limited to Curry’s Group Limited.[2]The claim is struck out because it is not in a form which can reasonably be responded to and/or has no reasonable prospect of success and is no longer being actively pursued.REASONS
[1]The claim was submitted by the Claimant’s then representatives on 9th September 2025, which was the latest date on which it could have been presented if in fact relying on the 1 month extension of time, given an ACAS early conciliation certificate dated 9th August 2025. (The actual time limit from the date of termination would have expired on 22nd September, applying the “stop-theclock” provisions.)[2]The claim was said to be for unfair dismissal and for disability discrimination (failure to make reasonable adjustments) but contained no particulars whatsoever and by email of the same date his representatives requested permission to supply additional information by 9th October 2025.[3]Although that request was not replied to, nor were any further particulars provided by that proposed date. Case No: 1805935/2025[4]The Claimant’s representatives came off the record on 20th January 2026, still with no further particulars having been provided.[5]On 21st January 2026 the Respondent then applied for a strike out of the claim, alternatively a deposit order, copying in the Claimant directly at the email provided for him by his outgoing representatives.[6]The preliminary hearing listed for case management on 17th February 206 was therefore postponed, on my direction on 16th February, and re-listed for this public hearing to consider strike out.[7]Although that postponement direction and the new notice of hearing were mistakenly sent to the former representatives, I am satisfied that through the diligence of the Respondent’s solicitors the Claimant has been made fully aware of these re-scheduled proceedings since 17th February 2026.[8]Still no necessary particulars of the claims have ever been provided, the Claimant has not communicated with the Tribunal or the Respondent’s solicitors, who have attempted to correspond with him to agree the issues for this hearing, and he has not attended.[9]The claim is therefore struck out.
