Case Summary

The claimant's employment tribunal claim against Southgate Masonic Centre was struck out under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The tribunal had warned the claimant on 12 November 2025 that it was considering striking out the claim due to non-compliance with a previous order and failure to actively pursue the claim. No response was received from the claimant, and the claim was therefore struck out.

Why this outcome?
