Ms P Mulligan v WM Morrison Supermarkets plc: 4114742/2019
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out under rule 37 of the Rules contained in Schedule 1 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 on the grounds that the claim has not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).REASONS
[1]Following a preliminary hearing on 18 March 2020 the Tribunal issued an order requiring the claimant no later than 8 April 2020 to provide a written statement to the respondent’s representative and the Tribunal setting out the impact of her disability (the Disability Impact Statement).[2]The claimant failed to comply with the order. The Tribunal sent a written reminder to the claimant on 22 May 2020. There was no response.[3]On 9 June 2020 the Tribunal wrote to the claimant asking her to contact the Tribunal by 23 June 2020 if she still wished to continue with her claim. No response was received. A reminder letter was sent to the claimant in 6 July 2020 requesting a response by 20 July 2020. No response was received.[4]On 30 July 2020 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 13 August 2020 or to request a hearing in order to consider why the claim should not be struck out.[5]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made or to request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore strikes out the claim.
