Claimant v University Hospitals Of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust

Outcome

Facts

The claimant brought employment tribunal proceedings against the respondent NHS Trust. The tribunal sent the claimant a letter on 8 November 2024 which required a response. The claimant failed to respond to that letter. The tribunal sent a further letter on 23 December 2024 giving the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant again failed to respond.

Decision

The tribunal struck out the claim because it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence and failed to make any representations why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing.
