Facts
Mr Webber brought a claim against Solair Limited, a company in voluntary creditors' liquidation, with the Secretary of State for Business and Trade as interested party. The claimant failed to comply with a tribunal order dated 31 October 2024 and did not actively pursue his claim. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 20 January 2025 giving him an opportunity to explain or request a hearing, but he failed to respond.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim due to the claimant's non-compliance with tribunal orders and failure to actively pursue the proceedings. The claimant did not respond to the tribunal's warning letter or request a hearing. The scheduled hearing for 14 March 2025 was cancelled.
Practical note
Claimants must comply with tribunal orders and actively pursue their claims, or risk having them struck out even where the respondent is insolvent and there is a state-backed interested party.
