JUDGMENT

[1]The judgment is revoked.

REASONS

[1]It is in the interests of justice, it being accepted that the respondent did not receive a copy of the claim form, or any other tribunal correspondence. CASE MANAGEMENT ORDERS[1]The respondent has also applied for an extension of time to submit its response more than 28 days after they were sent a copy of the claim form. This application was accompanied by a holding response, the respondent having still not seen a copy of the claim form. The application was copied to the claimant and she was informed of her right to object but has not done so.[2]In order to consider this application, the Tribunal will need to take into account the actual defence (not just a holding defence). The respondent and their legal representative will be sent a copy of the claim form, and the Tribunal ORDERS Case Number: 6014631/2024 that:2.1 By 22 April 2025 the respondent provides the Tribunal (and copy to the claimant) any response to the claim it intends to rely on.2.2 By 6 May 2025 the claimant to provide the Tribunal (and copy to the respondent) any comments on whether the response should be accepted out of time.[3]The Tribunal will then consider whether to extend time in the respondent’s favour to permit the response to be accepted out of time. If the response is accepted out of time the case will be listed for a hearing. Date: 24 March 2025 Approved by
