Facts
Ms Anderson brought a claim against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council in 2018. The claim was not actively pursued by the claimant. On 21 February 2025, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 7 March 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond appropriately.
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 was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out but failed to provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even after several years.
