D Dowse v Idverde Ltd: 2601124/2025
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 27 March 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 is not engaging with the respondent or the tribunal to progress his claim.[4]The claim is therefore struck out.[5]The hearings on 19 June 2026 and 27, 28 and 29 March 2028 will not take place.
