Claimant v Bugler Developments Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Claims struck out for non-pursuit under Rule 38(1)(d) as the claimant failed to attend the hearing and failed to comply with tribunal orders under Rule 38(1)(c). The tribunal found the claims were not being actively pursued.
Facts
The claimant Mr Bains brought claims against Bugler Developments Ltd. The claimant failed to attend the hearing scheduled for 11 September 2025 and had previously failed to comply with tribunal orders. The respondent was represented by Mr Brotheron, a non-practising solicitor, and attended the remote video hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge King struck out all of the claimant's claims under Rule 38(1)(c) and (d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The tribunal found the claims were not being actively pursued and that the claimant had failed to comply with tribunal orders.
Practical note
Non-attendance at hearings combined with failure to comply with tribunal orders will result in claims being struck out for non-pursuit, even without a full merits hearing.
