A Jafri and Others v Michael Wisher Ltd (Creditors voluntary liquidation) and The Secretary of State for Business and Trade: 2600625/2025 and Others
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal wrote to the above claimants on 19 February 2026 warning them that the Tribunal was considering striking out the claim. This was because it appeared to the Tribunal, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that the claim had not been actively pursued.[2]The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing at which to do so. The claimant has not replied.[3]I am satisfied that the grounds for striking out the claim under Rule 38 apply, and that it would be in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3 to strike out the claim. This is because the Claimant did not attend the preliminary hearing on 19 February 2026, explain their reasons for absence or confirm that they were intending to pursue their claim.[4]The claim is therefore struck out.
