Claimant v Phoenix Community Primary School
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit. The Claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence regarding whether they wished to continue with their claim in light of the Harpur Trust Litigation, and did not provide an updated address for correspondence.
Facts
The Claimant brought a claim against Phoenix Community Primary School in 2020. On 4 November 2025, the Tribunal wrote to the Claimant asking whether they wished to pursue their claim in light of the outcome of the Harpur Trust Litigation. The letter was returned as the Claimant was no longer at that address and no alternative address had been provided to the Tribunal.
Decision
Employment Judge Andrews struck out the claim on the basis that the Claimant was not actively pursuing it, having failed to respond to tribunal correspondence and not provided an updated contact address.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the tribunal informed of their current contact details and respond to tribunal correspondence, or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit.
