Claimant v The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for non-pursuit after the claimants failed to make representations or request a hearing in response to the tribunal's letter dated 6 January 2025 giving them an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
This was a multiple claimant case involving 61 claimants against The Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company. The tribunal sent the claimants a letter on 6 January 2025 giving them an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claims should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimants failed to respond or make sufficient representations.
Decision
Employment Judge Graham struck out all 61 claims on the papers for failure to actively pursue them. The claimants had been given notice and an opportunity to respond but failed to do so.
Practical note
Claimants in multiple claimant cases must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit without a hearing.
