When the respondent seeks to strike out your claim, you have the right to fullyrespond to a strike out application in the employment tribunal—in writing, and by requesting an oral hearing if you wish to speak to the judge directly
​

Send your response in writing before the deadline. Clearly address each strike out ground raised, showing why your case has reasonable prospects and is properly pleaded.

Prepare a short, focused document (sometimes called a skeleton argument) outlining your key legal and factual points and refute the assertiosn made. For example, if they say your claim has “no reasonable prospect,” show clearly how it does.

If you ask for a hearing—or one is scheduled—the judge will allow both sides to make short oral submissions before deciding whether to strike out your claim. it is unlikley that there will be witness evidence called.
