Ken Nugent v Scomac Express Ltd

This was a decision on a pre-hearing review. The claimant had brought claims for discrimination on the grounds of disability and race, breach of contract and unfair dismissal by way of constructive dismissal.

The claimant sought a Case Management Discussion to obtain Orders against the respondent to answer the claimant’s Notices for Additional Information and Discovery. This request was refused. The respondent’s solicitor then applied to the tribunal to strike out the claimant’s claim for failure to comply with the Orders to provide agreed issues and dates for hearing. The tribunal had to decide whether the claimant’s claim should be struck out under Rule 18(7) of the Industrial Tribunals
