Facts
Claimant Mr D Philip brought a claim against Royal Mail Group Ltd. A Preliminary Hearing Note was issued on 20 January 2025 requiring the Claimant to provide information by specified dates. The Claimant failed to comply despite reminders sent on 17 February 2025 and 26 February 2025. A strike-out warning letter was sent on 7 March 2025 with a deadline of 21 March 2025 for response. The Claimant did not respond or request a hearing.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The Claimant's repeated failure to comply with tribunal orders and respond to correspondence, including a final strike-out warning, demonstrated non-pursuit of the claim.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must comply with tribunal orders and respond to correspondence; failure to engage with the tribunal process will result in claims being struck out for non-pursuit.
