Facts
Mrs D Bell brought a claim against Simply UK. The tribunal issued orders on 15 April 2025 requiring the claimant to provide further information. The claimant failed to respond to these orders, reminder letters sent on 23 June 2025, and a strike out warning letter dated 30 June 2025 giving a deadline of 7 July 2025.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on grounds of non-compliance with tribunal orders and failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant did not respond to multiple requests or provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out.
Practical note
Claimants must comply with tribunal orders and respond to correspondence, as persistent failure to engage will result in strike out on procedural grounds without the merits being considered.
