Claimant v Milton Keynes City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-compliance with Tribunal Order dated 3 October 2023 and failure to actively pursue the claim. Claimant did not respond to the unless order dated 13 May 2025 or request a hearing.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Milton Keynes City Council. The Tribunal made an Order on 3 October 2023 which the claimant failed to comply with. The respondent made applications for strike out. The Tribunal issued an unless order on 13 May 2025 requiring the claimant to make representations or request a hearing by a specified date, but the claimant failed to respond.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim for non-compliance with the previous Order and failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant was given an opportunity to respond to the unless order but failed to do so, resulting in automatic strike out.
Practical note
Failure to comply with tribunal orders and engage with unless orders will result in automatic strike out of claims, even where a full merits hearing has been scheduled.
