Claimant v Keane Premier Support Services Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after claimant failed to respond to multiple tribunal orders and correspondence between 11 February and 7 April 2025, including a final strike-out warning.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Keane Premier Support Services Ltd but failed to comply with tribunal orders. Despite multiple letters from the tribunal between 11 February and 13 March 2025 requesting a schedule of loss and responses to correspondence, the claimant never replied. The respondent applied for strike out and expenses on 19 February 2025. A final strike-out warning was issued on 24 March 2025 with a deadline of 7 April 2025, but the claimant still did not respond.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given multiple opportunities to engage with the process, including a final strike-out warning, but failed to respond to any tribunal correspondence over a two-month period.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence; failure to engage despite multiple warnings and a strike-out notice will result in the claim being dismissed for non-pursuit.
