Mr S Cass v GovData Ltd: 2406467/2022
REASONS
[1]The respondent failed to attend or be represented at the full hearing of its contract claim on 30 September 2022. No explanation had been provided and no other application made.[2]The Tribunal of its own initiative issued a strike out warning under rule 37 on 30 September 2022.[3]The respondent was given a reasonable opportunity in accordance with rule 37(2) to make representations in writing or to request a hearing before the claim was struck out. The respondent was asked to provide its reasons in writing as to why its contract claim should not be struck out by 14 October 2022. A failure to do so within that time would result in an order striking out the claim.[4]On 14 October 2022 the respondent said it would like to continue the claim and did not want it struck out, but it did not provide any representations for why it should not be struck out and did not request a hearing. Case No. 2406467/2022[5]The respondent has not replied to this warning with representations in time or at all. Accordingly, the claim is now struck out.
