Claimant v The Co-operative Group
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to comply with a tribunal order dated 26 August 2025, did not respond to the respondent's emails, and failed to make representations or request a hearing by the deadline of 4 November 2025 after being given notice the claim would be struck out.
Facts
Mr Ferdaus brought a claim against The Co-Operative Group. The tribunal made an order on 26 August 2025 which the claimant failed to comply with. The respondent sent various emails to the claimant seeking compliance but received no reply. On 21 October 2025, the tribunal wrote giving the claimant until 4 November 2025 to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim on the papers. The claimant failed to respond to the unless order deadline, failed to make any representations, and failed to request a hearing. The tribunal considered strike out to be proportionate given the complete non-pursuit of the claim.
Practical note
Claimants who fail to comply with tribunal orders and do not respond to unless order warnings will have their claims struck out for non-pursuit, even without a hearing.
