Facts
Miss Lacey brought a whistleblowing claim against Southern Housing. The tribunal made orders on 14 August 2024 and 11 September 2024 requiring the claimant to provide further details of her whistleblowing claim. The claimant failed to comply with these orders. A strike out warning was issued on 5 December 2024, but the claimant failed to make representations or request a hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Rea struck out the claim on the papers because the claimant had failed to comply with tribunal orders, had not actively pursued the claim, and failed to respond to the strike out warning. The claim was dismissed without a hearing.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must comply with tribunal case management orders and respond to strike out warnings, or risk their claims being struck out for non-pursuit.
