Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's unless order of 5 March 2025 requiring written reasons by 19 March 2025 or a request for a hearing to explain why claims should not be struck out.
Facts
Ms Longsworth brought two employment tribunal claims against Glasgow City Council and Cordia Services LLP. On 5 March 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 19 March 2025 or request a hearing to explain why her claims should not be struck out for non-pursuit.
Decision
The tribunal struck out both claims under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on grounds that the claims had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to comply with the unless order by neither providing acceptable written reasons nor requesting a hearing.
Practical note
Failure to respond to a tribunal's unless order regarding non-pursuit of claims will result in strike-out, even where the claimant is unrepresented.
