Decision Overview

Case Summary

The tribunal determined strike out applications brought by the respondent employer ABC Education Limited. The claims of unfair dismissal and age discrimination were struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success. The disability discrimination claim was not struck out but a deposit order was made due to little reasonable prospects of success. The victimisation claim was permitted to continue to final hearing.

Why this outcome?

No reasonable prospects

The tribunal found that the unfair dismissal and age discrimination claims had no reasonable prospect of success and were therefore struck out. The disability discrimination claim was found to have little reasonable prospect of success, resulting in a deposit order rather than strike out. The victimisation claim was permitted to proceed to final hearing.
