Miss M Connor v AMW Contractors UK Limited — 2025

A preliminary hearing for case management was listed by telephone on 21 November 2025. The Claimant did not attend. Shortly before the hearing, the Respondent's solicitor received a message from the Claimant saying that she wanted the case closed and that she had left the UK for her own safety and wellbeing after verbal threats. The Tribunal administration then tried to confirm whether she was withdrawing her claims, and a staff member also attempted to contact her on the phone number in the claim form, but there was no reply and no contact was made.

The Tribunal noted that the Claimant had not written to the Tribunal itself, because her message had been sent to the Respondent's solicitor. By a case management order dated 21 November 2025, she was warned that strike out was being considered because the claim was no longer being actively pursued, and she was given until 28 November 2025 either to oppose strike out or to confirm withdrawal. She did not respond. The Tribunal found that she was not actively pursuing her claim and struck it out under rule 38(1)(d).
