Case Numbers: 3303216/2021 and others (see schedule) EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Respondent: Mr A Macleod v Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust JUDGMENT 1. An effect of the order dated 10 May 2024 is that the following claims have been dismissed: 3303216/2021 3304381/2022 3315470/2022 3312616/2023 3312618/2023 3312620/2023 3312687/2023 3312688/2023 and 3312689/2023 2.

Therefore by definition if that case number did not appear against an allegation in the table of allegations there was no compliance with para 7 and the claim must have been struck out by virtue of the unless order. One of the difficulties with the claimant’s lengthy table of allegations is it is very difficult to check, but it is amendable to being searched electronically so a search for the case number ought to show where (if at all) that case number is mentioned in the documen…
