# The Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, Rule 51: Dismissal following withdrawal

Extent: E+W+S

Where a claim, or part of it, has been withdrawn under rule 50 (end of claim), the Tribunal must issue a judgment dismissing it (which means that the party advancing it may not commence a further claim against the party responding or replying to it raising the same, or substantially the same, complaint) unless—
(a) the party advancing the claim 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.
