C Hawkins v Playland Amusement Centres Ltd: 6002928/2025
JUDGMENT
The Claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Tribunal wrote to the Claimant on 25 March 2026 warning her 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 a fair hearing was no longer possible because:a. She had not complied with the Orders of the Tribunal sent to her by email on 2 January 2026 and 18 March 2026 requiring her to attend a preliminary hearing listed on 25 March 2026.b. It appeared that her Claim was not being actively pursued. She did not attend the preliminary hearing listed on 25 March 2026.[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.[4]The Claim is therefore struck out.
