Claimant v Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust

Outcome

Facts

The claimant A Edwardson brought proceedings against Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. The claimant failed to comply with tribunal orders dated 19 August 2025 and failed to respond to a strike-out warning letter dated 29 July 2025 giving an opportunity to make representations. Despite the respondent's solicitors noting an administrative issue regarding timing of the warning letter and proposing revised time limits on 31 July 2025, the claimant still failed to take any steps to progress the claim.

Decision

Employment Judge Johnson struck out the claim for non-pursuit. The claimant had failed to comply with tribunal orders, failed to respond to the strike-out warning, and failed to make any representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out. The scheduled hearing for 8-10 December 2025 was cancelled.
