Case Summary
The claimant, a self-represented lecturer, brought three claims against The University of Law Limited: one for disability discrimination and two near-identical claims for unfair dismissal. At a preliminary hearing, the tribunal found the claimant was not a disabled person within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010 by reason of anxiety and depression, struck out the two unfair dismissal claims under Rule 40(4) for failure to pay an ordered deposit, and refused the claimant's application to amend his claim to include victimisation complaints.
Why this outcome?
Deposit order not paidThe claims were struck out under Rule 40(4) because the claimant failed to pay the £50 deposit that had been ordered on 04/09/2025 by the specified deadline of 31 October 2025. Additionally, the tribunal found the claimant was not a disabled person within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010, as he failed to provide sufficient evidence including relevant GP medical records to support his claim of disability arising from anxiety and depression.
