Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant was given until 28 February 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing but failed to do so.
Facts
Mr Cowie brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Community Safety Glasgow in 2017. On 14 February 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 28 February 2025 or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply with this order.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant was given a final opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out but failed to provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing.
Practical note
Tribunals will strike out claims for non-pursuit where claimants fail to comply with unless orders requiring them to show cause why the claim should continue.
