Ms G Jordan v Dascher Intelligent Logistics — 2026

This was a paper disposal before Employment Judge Fredericks-Bowyer on 2 January 2026. The Tribunal recorded that the claimant had not engaged with the claim or complied with directions. The respondent had applied for an unless order on 23 October 2025 and had also applied to strike out the claim for non-pursuit on 7 November 2025.

The judgment notes that on 7 November 2025 Employment Judge Corrigan warned the claimant that strike out was being considered and invited any objection within 14 days if the claimant wished submissions to be taken into account. By 2 January 2026 the claimant had not responded to that communication. The judge accepted that the claimant was not actively pursuing the claim and held that it was proportionate to strike it out.

The reason given was that the respondent should not be put to the time and cost of defending a claim that was not being pursued, and the Tribunal should not be put to the time and cost of administering and hearing such a claim. The claim was therefore struck out. The judgment also stated that any costs application arising from the respondent's defence of a claim that was never actively pursued should be made in accordance with the Rules and marked for the attention of Employment Judge Fredericks-Bowyer.
