Individual claims

Otherstruck out

Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue. Claimant was given until 4 March 2025 to provide reasons or request a hearing but failed to respond adequately.

Facts

This is a procedural strike-out case. The claimant brought claims against Glasgow City Council and Community Safety Glasgow in 2019. The tribunal gave the claimant until 4 March 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond adequately.

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 a clear opportunity to respond but failed to do so.

Practical note

A claimant must actively engage with tribunal directions and deadlines; failure to respond to an unless order or show cause warning will result in strike-out for non-pursuit.
