The Employment Tribunal did not err in law in refusing to strike out claims against a US company and US based individuals. The respondents failed to establish that there was no reasonable prospect of the Employment Tribunal having international jurisdiction.

The Employment Judge failed to give sufficient reasons for rejecting the application to strike out claims against two UK based individuals. Insofar as it is considered appropriate to pursue that matter it is remitted for reconsideration before the same Employment Tribunal if possible.
