Case Summary

The claimant's claim against Trust Alliance Group Ltd was struck out following a preliminary hearing on 2 December 2025. The Tribunal issued a warning letter on 22 January 2026 that it was considering striking out the claim on the ground that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to respond to the letter or request a hearing, and the Tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.

Why this outcome?

Not actively pursued

The claim was struck out under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claimant had not actively pursued the claim and failed to respond to the Tribunal's warning letter of 22 January 2026 giving the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing.

EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: S Crann Respondent: Trust Alliance Group Ltd JUDGMENT The claim is struck out. REASONS 1. The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 22 January 2026 (following a preliminary hearing held on 2 December 2025) warning them 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 the claim had not been actively pursued. 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. Employment Judge Phil Allen 26 February 2026 JUDGMENT SENT TO THE PARTIES ON 28 April 2026 FOR THE TRIBUNAL OFFICE
