Ms B Mukandi v NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board — 2022

This was a reconsideration judgment dated 1 December 2022, heard at Watford via CVP on 29 November 2022 before Employment Judge Varnam. The respondent applied for an extension of time to file a response and for reconsideration of what was believed to be a rule 21 judgment. The tribunal recorded that no rule 21 judgment had in fact been issued, although there had been a letter referring to one, and it proceeded on the basis that any such judgment should be reconsidered and revoked.

By consent, the tribunal revoked the rejection of the claimant's unfair dismissal claim and ordered that the claim would form part of the claimant's case at the final hearing. The respondent's application under rule 20 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 for an extension of time to file a response was granted. Time for filing the response was extended to 29 November 2022, and the respondent's draft ET3 dated 17 June 2022 together with its amended grounds of resistance dated 9 August 2022 were to stand as the response.

The judgment also states that if any judgment had been entered against the respondent pursuant to rule 21, that judgment was reconsidered and revoked. No substantive liability findings were made and no monetary award was recorded in this judgment. Further case management orders were said to be set out in a separate document.
