Claimant v Toolstation
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-compliance with Tribunal Order dated 31 March 2025. Claimant was warned on 27 August 2025 and given opportunity to explain or request hearing but did not respond.
Facts
C Gibson brought a claim against Toolstation and Melissa Carter. The Tribunal issued an Order on 31 March 2025 which the claimant failed to comply with. The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 27 August 2025 warning of potential strike-out and inviting explanation or a hearing request. The claimant did not respond.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 due to the claimant's failure to comply with the earlier Order and failure to respond to the warning letter giving opportunity to explain or request a hearing.
Practical note
Failure to comply with tribunal orders and failure to respond to strike-out warning letters will result in claims being struck out on the papers without a hearing.
