Mr S Little v P Kanwal - Kanwal UK Industries Ltd: 6006158/2025
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 8 July 2025 warning them that the Tribunal was considering striking out the claim. This was because it appeared to the Tribunal, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success;[2]The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing at which to do so. The claimant has not replied.[3]I am satisfied that the grounds for striking out the claim under Rule 38 apply, and that it would be in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3 to strike out the claim. This is because the claim for a redundancy payment has no reasonable prospect of success as the claimant did not have the necessary 2 year period of continuous employment with the respondent to qualify for the right to receive a redundancy payment.[4]The claim is therefore struck out.
