Facts
The claimant Miss D Meek brought a claim against City of Glasgow Council. On 19 February 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 16 April 2025 or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply with this order and provided no acceptable reason or hearing request.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant's failure to respond to the unless order demonstrated non-pursuit of the claim.
