Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit after claimant failed to give acceptable reasons why the claim should not be struck out or request a hearing by the 4 March 2025 deadline.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2017. On 18 February 2025, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 4 March 2025 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond or provide acceptable reasons by the deadline.
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, as the claimant failed to respond to the Tribunal's direction or request a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal directions and respond to strike-out warnings, otherwise their claims will be struck out for non-pursuit even if the underlying claim may have had merit.
