Facts
The claimant J Pecak brought an employment claim against Improveasy. On 22 July 2025, the tribunal wrote to the claimant giving an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant did not respond to this letter and made no representations or request for a hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Leach struck out the claim under Rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024 on the basis that the claimant had not actively pursued the claim and failed to respond to the tribunal's warning letter.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence, or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit even without a hearing.
