Claimant v Great Minds Together Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under Rule 38(1)(c) for failure to comply with Tribunal Orders made on 9 July 2024, for not being actively pursued, and because it was no longer possible to have a fair hearing.
Facts
Mr Akpodiete brought a claim against Great Minds Together Ltd. At a hearing on 9 July 2024, at which he was legally represented, the tribunal made orders. The claimant failed to comply with these orders and did not actively pursue his claim. By the time of the strike-out hearing on 3 March 2025, the claimant was unrepresented and appeared in person.
Decision
Employment Judge Cookson struck out the claim under Rule 38(1)(c) on the grounds that the claimant had not complied with tribunal orders, had not actively pursued his claim, and it was no longer possible to have a fair hearing. The respondent was represented by counsel.
Practical note
Claims will be struck out where claimants fail to comply with tribunal orders and do not actively pursue their claims, even where they were previously represented.
