Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claims struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue. Claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing by the 12 March 2025 deadline after being given an opportunity to do so on 26 February 2025.
Facts
Ms Reid brought claims against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP in 2017 and 2018. The tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 12 March 2025 or request a hearing to show cause why the claims should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond or provide acceptable reasons.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claims under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claims had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to engage with the tribunal's direction to show cause why the claims should not be struck out.
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 claims have been pending for several years.
