Case Summary

The claimant applied for reconsideration of a dismissal judgment from 12 December 2025, arguing that medical evidence showing diagnoses of ADHD, anxiety and related conditions affecting his decision-making should have been considered. The tribunal refused the application as there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked, noting that a withdrawn claim cannot be revived and the claimant's poor mental health alone does not take dismissal outside the interests of justice.

The tribunal refused reconsideration because under Rule 70(2) of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024 there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked, and a withdrawn claim cannot be revived regardless of the claimant's mental health conditions at the time.

• •Whether application for reconsideration should be granted
• •Whether claimant's mental health conditions affected ability to understand consequences of withdrawing claim
• •Whether new medical evidence justifies reconsideration under Rule 70(2) Employment Tribunal Rules 2024

The claimant’s application for reconsideration is that he had medical evidence to show that he had diagnoses of ADHD, anxiety and “related conditions affecting my executive functioning, decision-making and ability to manage complex procedural matters” and that these “affected my ability to properly understand the consequences of withdrawing my claim at the time and to manage subsequent procedural steps.” The claimant challenges the Tribunal’s conclusion that there was no medical evidence to show that he was mentally impaired such that he could not make rational decisions at the time. 3. There is a public policy principle that there should be finality in litigation. Reconsiderations are exceptions to the rule that employment tribunal decisions should not be reopened and relitigated. It is not a way in which a disappointed party can simply …
