Individual claims

The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing.
Facts
This was a claim filed in 2009 against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. The nature of the underlying claim is not specified in the judgment. The tribunal issued an unless order on 29 August 2025 requiring the claimant to provide reasons by 19 September 2025 why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond or request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on grounds of non-pursuit. The claimant failed to comply with the unless order and did not provide acceptable reasons why the claim should not be struck out or request a hearing to address the issue.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and comply with unless orders; failure to respond to tribunal directions even when given a clear opportunity to explain will result in strike out for non-pursuit.
