Case Summary
The claimant claimed unauthorised deductions of wages against Ms A O Taylor. The tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 38 on three grounds: lack of jurisdiction (the claim was for quantum meruit rather than a statutory deduction claim), the claim being presented out of time, and abuse of process as the same claim had previously been presented and struck out.
Why this outcome?
No reasonable prospectsThe tribunal struck out the claim because it lacked jurisdiction (the claim was for quantum meruit rather than a statutory deduction), was presented out of time, and constituted an abuse of process as an identical claim had already been presented and struck out in November 2025.
