Claimant v HM Revenue & Customs
Outcome
Facts
Mrs Craig brought a claim against HM Revenue & Customs. The tribunal wrote to her on 6 February 2025 giving her 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 to this unless order or make sufficient representations. A full hearing had been scheduled for 24-28 March 2025.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim because it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to comply with the unless order or make any representations in response to the tribunal's letter of 6 February 2025. The scheduled five-day hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal correspondence and comply with unless orders, as failure to respond will result in the claim being struck out for non-pursuit.
