Claimant v Corps Security (UK) Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-compliance with tribunal orders to provide further information and schedule of loss, and for failure to actively pursue the claim despite warnings.
Facts
The claimant brought proceedings against his former employer Corps Security (UK) Ltd but failed to comply with tribunal orders requiring him to provide further information and a schedule of loss. The tribunal warned the claimant on 10 January 2025 to comply immediately, then on 17 January 2025 gave him until 31 January 2025 to make representations as to why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not respond to either letter or comply with the orders.
Decision
Employment Judge Baty struck out the claim on 18 February 2025 for non-compliance with tribunal orders and failure to actively pursue the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The judge found considerable prejudice to the respondent and no good reason for the claimant's non-compliance.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must comply with tribunal case management orders and actively pursue their claims or risk strike-out, even after being given clear warnings and opportunities to explain their non-compliance.
