Claim struck out for non-pursuit after claimant failed to make representations or request a hearing following the tribunal's letter dated 30th September 2025 giving an opportunity to show cause why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
Mr Wilkes brought a claim against Veolia. The tribunal sent a letter on 30th September 2025 giving the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant failed to respond or make any sufficient representations.
Decision
Employment Judge Akhtar struck out the claim on 6th January 2026 due to the claimant's failure to actively pursue it and failure to respond to the tribunal's unless order. The claim was dismissed without a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence, particularly unless orders, or risk having their claims struck out without a hearing.
