Mrs D Edwin v Whittingdon Health NHS Trust RECORD OF A PRELIMINARY HEARING — 2022

The Tribunal considered the claimant's application for reconsideration of a dismissal judgment relating to claim 3314645/2021, which followed her 29 March 2022 email asking to withdraw that claim. The Tribunal found that the withdrawal was communicated in unequivocal terms and that, under Rule 51 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, the claim came to an end when that communication was sent.

The Tribunal refused to withdraw the dismissal judgment for claim 3314645/2021, explaining that the judgment merely confirmed that the withdrawn claim had already ended. It also found that claim 3320545/2021 had not been withdrawn, because the Tribunal had sought clarification from the claimant and she stated that she wished to proceed; that claim therefore survived.
