Claimant v Dascher Intelligent Logistics
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to engage with the claim, failed to comply with tribunal directions, failed to respond to the respondent's unless order application made on 23 October 2025, and failed to respond to Employment Judge Corrigan's warning on 7 November 2025 giving 14 days to object. The tribunal was satisfied the claim was not being actively pursued and it was proportionate to strike out to avoid putting the respondent and tribunal to unnecessary time and cost.
Facts
Ms Jordan brought a claim against Dascher Intelligent Logistics but failed to engage with tribunal proceedings. The respondent applied for an unless order on 23 October 2025 and subsequently applied to strike out the claim for non-pursuit on 7 November 2025. Employment Judge Corrigan warned the claimant on 7 November 2025, giving 14 days to respond, but the claimant failed to do so.
Decision
Employment Judge Fredericks-Bowyer struck out the claim on papers on 2 January 2026. The judge found it was proportionate to strike out as the claimant was not actively pursuing the claim and it was unfair to put the respondent and tribunal to unnecessary time and cost. The judge invited any costs application from the respondent.
Practical note
Claimants who fail to engage with tribunal proceedings or respond to judicial warnings risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit, with potential costs consequences.
