Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue the claim. Claimant failed to respond to tribunal's unless order dated 18 February 2025 requiring written reasons by 4 March 2025 or request for a hearing.
Facts
The claimant Ms J Druggan brought a claim against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council in 2018. On 18 February 2025, the Tribunal issued an unless order giving 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.
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's failure to comply with the unless order or request a hearing meant the Tribunal proceeded to strike out the claim.
Practical note
Failure to comply with tribunal unless orders or engage with strike-out warnings will result in claims being struck out for non-pursuit, even in long-running cases.
