Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for failure to actively pursue. The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's letter dated 4 June 2025 inviting representations or a hearing request as to why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
Mr J Hall brought a claim against his former employer Lloyds Bank Plc. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 4 June 2025 warning that the claim would be struck out for failure to actively pursue it and offering an opportunity for representations or a hearing request. The claimant failed to respond. A full merits hearing had been listed for 5-7 January 2026.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim on the papers for failure to actively pursue, as the claimant did not respond to the tribunal's warning letter. The scheduled hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal directions and correspondence to avoid strike-out for want of prosecution, even where a substantive hearing has been listed.
