Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d). Claimant's solicitors withdrew, claimant failed to respond to tribunal status enquiry, correspondence returned undelivered as claimant no longer at registered address, and claimant failed to provide updated contact details.
Facts
The claimant brought claims against two respondents but her solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent a status enquiry letter which went unanswered, then a strike out warning letter which was returned as undeliverable because the claimant had moved and not provided her new address. The claimant took no steps to inform the tribunal of her whereabouts or intentions.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claims under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. Without a current address, the tribunal could not communicate with the claimant and assumed she no longer wished to pursue her claims. The tribunal was unable to give proper notice under rule 38(2) due to the claimant's failure to maintain contact.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the tribunal informed of their current contact details; failure to do so after solicitors withdraw and failure to respond to tribunal correspondence will result in strike out for non-pursuit.
