Claimant v The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit. Claimant failed to comply with Tribunal's Order dated 14 October 2024 and failed to make any representations or request a hearing after being given an opportunity by letter dated 19 December 2024.
Facts
The claimant brought employment proceedings against The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company. The tribunal issued an order on 14 October 2024 with which the claimant failed to comply. On 19 December 2024, the tribunal wrote to the claimant giving 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 or make any representations.
Decision
Employment Judge Graham struck out the claim under Rule 37 on the papers on 11 February 2025. The claim was struck out because it had not been actively pursued and the claimant failed to comply with the tribunal's previous order and failed to respond to the tribunal's warning letter.
Practical note
Claimants must comply with tribunal orders and respond to correspondence, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even before a substantive hearing.
