Mr C Thompson v Fortius Ltd — 2025

At a preliminary hearing on 12 May 2025, the claimant did not attend and was not represented. Employment Judge Dawson recorded that the claimant had been notified of the hearing and had not complied with earlier tribunal orders, including the unless order made on 12 March 2025 requiring medical documents to be sent to the respondent by 30 April 2025. On that basis, the tribunal treated the disability discrimination claim as struck out without further order.

The respondent also applied on 2 May 2025 to strike out the unfair dismissal claim, relying on no reasonable prospect of success and, alternatively, that the claim was not being actively pursued. The tribunal did not determine the merits or the no reasonable prospect limb; it struck the claim out because the claimant was not actively pursuing it, in light of his failure to attend both the 12 May 2025 hearing and the earlier hearing, and his lack of contact with the tribunal since 12 March 2025.

The reasons section also states that the claimant's remaining claims were struck out. The judgment does not separately name those remaining claims, but the case listing identifies breach of contract alongside unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. No monetary award was made.
