Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant was given until 8 July 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing but failed to give an acceptable reason or to request a hearing.
Facts
Ms Patterson brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. The tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity on 17 June 2025 to provide written reasons by 8 July 2025 or request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond appropriately or request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued in terms of rule 38(1)(d). The claimant failed to give an acceptable reason why the strike-out judgment should not be made.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions; failure to engage with the tribunal process, even when given specific opportunities to do so, will result in strike-out.
