Case Number: 1803179/2023
EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS
Claimant: Mrs S Bedford
Respondent: Cambian Childcare Limited
JUDGMENT
The claimant’s complaint of unlawful disability discrimination is struck out.
REASONS
1. By a letter dated 23 February 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to
make representations or to request a hearing as to why the complaint of disability
discrimination should not be struck out because (1) the claimant had not complied with
paragraphs 8 and 9 of the Tribunal’s case management orders dated 9 November
2023; and/or (2) the claim had not been actively pursued.
2. The claimant has failed to respond to the Tribunal’s letter or to make representations
in writing. She has failed to comply with case management orders made by the
Tribunal in November 2023 as to matters essential to her complaint of unlawful
disability discrimination. She has not asked for an extension of time to comply or
explained why she cannot comply.
3. It is not in the interests of justice for the claim to continue when the claimant is in breach
of case management orders and has given no indication that she will comply. The
claimant’s complaint of unlawful disability discrimination is therefore struck out.
4. The claimant’s remaining complaints of breach of contract and unauthorised deduction
of wages remain listed for hearing on 29 May 2024, but with a reduced time of two
hours allowed for the hearing.
