PART 8WITHDRAWAL OF A CLAIM
End of claim45
Where a claimant informs the tribunal, either in writing or in the course of a hearing, that a claim, or part of it, is withdrawn, the claim, or part, comes to an end, subject to any application that the respondent may make for a costs, preparation time or wasted costs order.
Dismissal following withdrawal46
Where a claim, or part of it, has been withdrawn under rule 45, the tribunal shall issue a judgment dismissing it (which means that the claimant may not commence a further claim against the respondent raising the same, or substantially the same, complaint) unless—
a
the claimant has expressed at the time of withdrawal a wish to reserve the right to bring such a further claim and the tribunal is satisfied that there would be legitimate reason for doing so; or
b
the tribunal believes that to issue such a judgment would not be in the interests of justice.
