Claimant v HM Revenue & Customs
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for non-pursuit. The Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to make sufficient representations or request a hearing.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against HM Revenue & Customs. The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 6 February 2025 giving him an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out for failure to actively pursue it, or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond or make sufficient representations.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim because it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to respond to the Tribunal's letter inviting representations and failed to request a hearing. The scheduled five-day hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal procedures and respond to case management correspondence, or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit.
