Facts
Miss Ramos brought a claim against British Airways. The tribunal ordered her to comply with an order dated 5 June 2024. On 16 August 2024, the tribunal wrote to the claimant warning that her claim would be struck out for non-compliance with the order and for failing to actively pursue the claim, giving her an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond to this warning.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim because the claimant failed to comply with tribunal orders, failed to actively pursue her claim, and did not make any representations or request a hearing after being given the opportunity. The scheduled hearing for 12-13 September 2024 was cancelled.
Practical note
Claimants must comply with tribunal orders and actively engage with proceedings or risk having their claims struck out without a hearing on the merits.
