Claimant v Pinford End Nursing Home Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit after claimant failed to make representations or request a hearing following tribunal letter dated 23 January 2025 warning of potential strike out.
Facts
Mr K Bird brought a claim against Pinford End Nursing Home Ltd, a company in creditor's voluntary liquidation. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 23 January 2025 warning that the claim would be struck out for non-pursuit and giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim because it had not been actively pursued and the claimant failed to make representations or request a hearing in response to the tribunal's warning letter.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence, even where the respondent is insolvent, or risk having their claim struck out.
