Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after the claimant's executor failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing by the deadline of 10 April 2025.
Facts
This was a claim brought by the executor of the late Mrs C Miller against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. The claim was originally filed in 2009. The original claimant had died and the case was being continued by her executor Ms S Miller. The tribunal gave the executor until 10 April 2025 to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant's executor failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing by the deadline.
Practical note
Executors continuing employment tribunal claims on behalf of deceased claimants must actively pursue the claim and respond to tribunal directions, or risk strike-out for non-pursuit.
