Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's unless order dated 16 July 2025 requiring written reasons by 13 August 2025 or a request for a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
This claim was filed in 2012 against Glasgow City Council. The claim remained dormant or unresolved until 2025. On 16 July 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order giving the claimant until 13 August 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) because the claimant failed to comply with the unless order and did not provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing. The claim was therefore found not to have been actively pursued.
Practical note
Claimants must respond promptly to tribunal unless orders requiring them to show cause why a claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit, or risk losing their claim entirely.
