Decision Text
EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Liam Edmondson Respondent: FEVACA JUDGMENT The claim is struck out. REASONS 1. The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 17 April 2026 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 you have not complied with the Order of the Tribunal dated 11 October 2025; and 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. This is because the claimant has failed to engage with the process to prove disability or identify the claims. 4. The claim is therefore struck out. 5. The hearing on 26 May 2026 will not take place. Approved by: Employment Judge Cowen Date: 19 May 2026 JUDGMENT SENT TO THE PARTIES ON 20 May 2026 FOR THE TRIBUNAL OFFICE
