Claimant v Teriv Flooring Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after claimant failed to respond to multiple tribunal orders requesting details of financial loss and failed to respond to notice giving opportunity to show cause why claim should not be struck out.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Teriv Flooring Limited and the Secretary of State for Business & Trade. The Tribunal ordered the claimant to provide details of financial loss by 5 June 2025. Despite multiple reminders on 25 June, 4 July, and 16 July 2025, the claimant failed to respond. The Tribunal then gave the claimant until 8 August 2025 to show cause why the claim should not be struck out, but received no response.
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, after the claimant failed to comply with tribunal orders and failed to respond to multiple opportunities to engage with the proceedings.
Practical note
Claimants must respond to tribunal orders and correspondence or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit, even after multiple reminders and opportunities to show cause.
