Mr B Casey v The London School of Economics and Political Science: 2206645/2017
JUDGMENT
The claims are struck out under rule 37(1)(d) because not actively pursued.REASONS
[1]The background facts are set out in the reasons given for staying the case, that order having been made at a preliminary hearing on 7 September. Neither the claimant nor his medical practitioner had updated the tribunal on progress since January 2018.[2]The respondent has applied to strike out the claim. The claimant was asked by the tribunal to say when he might be fit for a hearing. He has not replied. He was warned on 7 March 2019 that the tribunal was considering whether to strike out the claim as not actively pursued.[3]The claim concerns events in the autumn of 2016. The facts are disputed.[4]The failure to reply at all suggests the claim is not actively pursued. Given the age if the events contested, it will be difficult to conduct a fair hearing, as it could not be heard before the end of this year at least.
