Facts
Ms Sharpe brought a claim against Rio Sol Ltd. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 12 May 2025 and 20 May 2025 requesting further information but received no response. A strike-out warning letter was issued on 30 May 2025 giving a deadline of 13 June 2025 for response or reasons why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond to any correspondence.
Decision
Employment Judge D Hoey struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given multiple opportunities to engage with the tribunal process but failed to respond to any correspondence or request a hearing.
