Claimant v HM Revenue & Customs
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit after the claimant failed to make representations or request a hearing following a letter from the Tribunal dated 6 February 2025 giving an opportunity to show cause why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against HM Revenue & Customs. On 6 February 2025, the Tribunal wrote to the claimant offering an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond or make sufficient representations.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant did not respond to the Tribunal's letter giving him an opportunity to show cause, and the scheduled hearing for 24-28 March 2025 was cancelled.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence, or face strike-out for non-pursuit even before the substantive hearing.
