Mr D King v Drive Software Solutions Ltd (in compulsory liquidation) and Secretary of State for Business and Trade: 3300570/2024
JUDGMENT
The claim against Respondent:1. Drive Software Solutions LTD (in compulsory liquidation) is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 27 Feb 2025 warning them that the Tribunal was considering striking out part of the claim. This was because it appeared to the Tribunal, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that, in relation to that part, the claim had not been actively pursued;[2]The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why that part of 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 that part of the claim under Rule 38 apply, and that it would be in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3 to strike out that part of the claim. This is because it has not been actively pursued, and permission has not been obtained from the High Court for the claim to be continued.[4]That part of the claim is therefore struck out. The rest of the claim is not affected by this judgment. Approved by:
