Miss K McCarrol v Sky Subscribers Ltd: 4102771/2025
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out under the provisions of rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the basis that it has not been actively pursued.REASONS
[1]The claimant did not attend the preliminary hearing set down for 15 April 2026. The Judge treated the claimant’s e-mail of 14 April 2026 as a late postponement application on the grounds of ill health. The preliminary hearing note required the claimant by no later than 4pm on 3 June 2026 to provide a medical certificate for the absence on 15 April 2026. No reply was received from the claimant.[2]A reminder was sent to the claimant on 11 June 2026 to comply with the Order and provide a medical certificate with a reply by date of 18 June 2026, no reply was received.[3]A further reminder was sent to the claimant on 23 June 2026 with a reply by date of 30 June 2026, no reply was received.[4]On 3 July 2026 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give reasons by 17 July 2026 why the claim should not be struck out as it had not been actively pursued. The time limit for so doing has passed and the claimant has failed to respond.[5]The claim is therefore struck out under the provisions of rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the ground that it has not been actively pursued.[6]The preliminary hearing listed for 15 September 2026 is cancelled. Date Sent to Parties : 29 July 2026
