Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to comply with the Tribunal Order dated 29 November 2024 and did not actively pursue the claim. After being given an opportunity on 10 March 2025 to make representations or request a hearing, the claimant failed to respond.
Facts
Mr P Mills brought an employment tribunal claim against Surgo Construction Ltd, a company in administration. The claimant failed to comply with a Tribunal Order dated 29 November 2024 and did not actively pursue his claim. On 10 March 2025, the Tribunal wrote to the claimant giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim because the claimant failed to comply with the earlier Order, failed to actively pursue the claim, and failed to make any representations or request a hearing in response to the Tribunal's letter of 10 March 2025. The claim was determined on the papers without a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must comply with tribunal orders and actively pursue their claims, as failure to respond to strike-out warnings will result in dismissal without a hearing.
