Duffy v PPS [2012] NIIT 01834_11IT (05 April 2012)

The tribunal found that, despite the claimant's unsatisfactory conduct and delay in providing medical evidence, there was insufficient evidence of intentional or contumelious default, and the claimant now had legal representation. The circumstances, particularly the communication before the 20 February 2012 Case Management Discussion and subsequent engagement, did not justify striking out the claim at this stage.
