The claim was struck out for non-pursuit. The tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out, but the claimant failed to respond or make sufficient representations.

Facts

The claimant brought a claim against Tuffnells Parcel Express Limited, which was in administration at the time. The tribunal sent the claimant a letter on 30 October 2024 giving an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant did not respond or make sufficient representations.

Decision

The tribunal struck out the claim due to the claimant's failure to actively pursue it. After giving the claimant notice and an opportunity to respond, the claimant failed to make any or sufficient representations why the claim should not be struck out.

Practical note

Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions, otherwise they risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit, even where the respondent is in administration.
