Facts

Mr Exley brought a claim against Prydis Legal but failed to comply with a Tribunal Order dated 13 January 2025. The Tribunal issued a strike-out warning on 30 April 2025 giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond to the warning letter.

Decision

The Tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 38(1)(d) because the claimant had not actively pursued it, had failed to comply with the earlier Order, and had not responded to the strike-out warning by making representations or requesting a hearing.

Practical note

Claimants must actively pursue their claims and comply with tribunal orders, or risk strike-out for non-pursuit even without a hearing if they fail to respond to warnings.
