Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d). Claimant's solicitors withdrew, claimant failed to respond to tribunal status enquiry, failed to update address, and tribunal correspondence was returned undelivered.
Facts
The claimant filed a claim in 2018 against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council. Her solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent a status enquiry letter which went unanswered. A strike out warning letter was sent on 26 February 2025 but was returned as the claimant no longer resided at the address on the ET1. The claimant failed to update her address with the tribunal.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant had not responded to correspondence, her solicitors had withdrawn, and she failed to provide an updated address, making it impossible for the tribunal to communicate with her.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the tribunal informed of their current contact details and actively engage with tribunal correspondence or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit, even if previously legally represented.
