Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit after claimant's solicitors withdrew, claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence, and failed to provide updated address. Tribunal unable to contact claimant and assumed she no longer wished to pursue the claim.
Facts
The claimant brought claims against two respondents but her solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent a status enquiry letter and then a strike-out warning letter to the claimant's address on file. Both items were returned as the claimant no longer resided at that address. The claimant failed to update her address with the tribunal or respond to correspondence.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) for non-pursuit, as the claimant had failed to respond to correspondence, failed to notify the tribunal of her new address, and the tribunal assumed in these circumstances that she no longer wished to pursue her claim.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the tribunal informed of their current address and respond to tribunal correspondence, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even without a hearing.
