Claimant v Intesa (Leicester) Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 47 for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to attend the hearing, failed to respond to tribunal correspondence requesting further information including quantification of the claim, and failed to acknowledge the hearing notice. The claim form inadequately explained the amount claimed and how figures were calculated.
Facts
The claimant filed a claim on 16 January 2024 against Intesa (Leicester) Ltd. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 7 November 2024 requesting further information as the claim was not quantified, but received no response. Neither party attended the remote hearing on 13 February 2025 scheduled for 14:00, and no explanation was provided for non-attendance.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim under rule 47 for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to attend the hearing, failed to respond to tribunal correspondence requesting essential information about quantification, and failed to acknowledge the hearing notice. In light of these failures and having regard to the overriding objective, the Employment Judge dismissed the claim.
Practical note
A claim will be struck out under rule 47 where the claimant fails to pursue it by not attending hearings, not responding to tribunal orders for essential information such as quantification, and not engaging with the tribunal process.
