Claimant v London School of Economics
Outcome
Individual claims
Claims struck out for non-pursuit. Employment Judge gave claimants 7 days to respond to why claims should not be struck out. Claimants failed to respond or request a hearing.
Facts
Four claimants brought claims against the London School of Economics and Political Science. On 10 March 2025, Employment Judge B Smith wrote to the claimants giving them an opportunity to explain why their claims should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The judge gave them 7 days to respond. The claimants failed to respond and did not request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out all four claims for failure to actively pursue them. The claimants were given a fair opportunity to respond or request a hearing but failed to do so within the time limit.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal procedures and respond to judicial correspondence, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit regardless of the underlying merits.
