Facts
Ms Sheriff brought a claim against London Borough of Haringey as part of a multiple claim. The claim form failed to set out specific grounds. The tribunal ordered her to provide impact statement and medical evidence on 15 August 2024, which she failed to provide. She did not attend a preliminary hearing and had not been in contact with other parties.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024, being satisfied that the claimant was not interested in pursuing the case and it was not being actively pursued. The related claim by C Ioannou continues.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal orders and attend hearings; failure to comply with orders, attend hearings, or maintain contact with parties may result in strike-out for non-pursuit even before the merits are considered.
