Facts
Miss Yousaf brought an employment claim against Howden Compressors Limited. She failed to attend a case management hearing on 28 November 2025, did not lodge a case management agenda in advance, and provided no explanation for her non-attendance. The tribunal wrote to her on 28 November 2025 warning that it was considering striking out the claim and gave her until 05 December 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing. She did not respond to this correspondence.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim was not being actively pursued. The claimant's failure to attend the hearing, provide a case management agenda, and respond to the tribunal's warning letter demonstrated a lack of active pursuit.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims by attending hearings, complying with case management orders, and responding to tribunal correspondence or risk having their claims struck out.
