Claimant v Amey Services Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Claims struck out for non-pursuit. The Tribunal wrote to claimants on 23 July 2024 offering opportunity to make representations or request a hearing. Claimants failed to make representations in writing or make any sufficient representations, or to request a hearing. Claims therefore struck out.
Facts
This was a multiple claimant case involving 38 claimants who brought claims against Amey Services Limited and Sapphire Utility Services Limited in 2016. The claims were filed around December 2016. The case remained inactive for an extended period. On 23 July 2024, the Tribunal wrote to the claimants inviting representations or a hearing request as to why the claims should not be struck out for non-pursuit.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out all 38 claims because the claimants failed to make representations in writing, failed to make any sufficient representations, or failed to request a hearing in response to the Tribunal's letter of 23 July 2024. The claims were struck out for not being actively pursued.
Practical note
Multiple claimant actions filed in 2016 but left inactive for years will be struck out for non-pursuit where claimants fail to respond to the Tribunal's invitation to explain why the case should continue.
