Claimant v Autovantechnik Ltd (In Liquidation)
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for non-pursuit after the claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence dated 19 August 2025, 04 September 2025, 15 September 2025, and 25 September 2025, despite being given multiple opportunities to provide information and avoid strike out.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against a company in liquidation but failed to provide further specification when requested by the tribunal on 19 August 2025. Despite reminder letters on 04 September and 15 September 2025, and a final warning letter on 25 September 2025 giving until 09 October 2025 to respond or request a hearing, the claimant did not engage with the tribunal process.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to respond to multiple communications from the tribunal over a period of approximately two months.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal correspondence and comply with directions, or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit even before substantive issues are determined.
