Claimant v Surgo Construction Limited (in Administration)

Outcome

Facts

Mrs Fox brought claims for redundancy payment and breach of contract against Surgo Construction Limited, which was in administration. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 8 March 2025 giving her an opportunity to make representations as to why the claims should not be struck out for having no reasonable prospect of success, as the administrator had not given permission for the claims to proceed. The claimant failed to respond or request a hearing.

Decision

The tribunal struck out both the redundancy payment and breach of contract claims on the basis that they had no reasonable prospect of success because the administrator had not given permission for the claims to proceed, and the claimant failed to make any representations or request a hearing when given the opportunity.
