Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for non-pursuit. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 20 November 2024 giving an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for not being actively pursued. The claimant failed to respond or make sufficient representations, and the tribunal therefore struck out the claim.
Facts
This is a strike-out judgment. The claimant, Ms N Stevens, brought a claim against Methodist Homes but failed to actively pursue it. The tribunal wrote to her on 20 November 2024 giving her an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. She did not respond or provide sufficient representations. A hearing scheduled for 15 January 2025 was cancelled.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 for failure to actively pursue. The claimant was given notice and an opportunity to respond but failed to do so. The claim has been dismissed.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even without a hearing.
