Claimant v Teplac Holdings Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d). The claimant failed to respond to three tribunal letters (5 March 2025, 21 March 2025, and strike-out warning on 1 April 2025) and did not provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
The claimant, Mr C Weatherly, brought a claim against Teplac Holdings Ltd. The tribunal sent three letters requesting further information: on 5 March 2025, 21 March 2025, and a strike-out warning on 1 April 2025 with a deadline of 15 April 2025. The claimant failed to respond to any of these letters or to request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant's failure to respond to repeated tribunal correspondence and the strike-out warning demonstrated a failure to pursue the claim.
Practical note
Claimants must respond promptly to tribunal correspondence or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit, even without a hearing.
