Claimant v Cordia Services LLP

28 March 2025Before Employment Judge Frances EcclesScotlandon papers

Outcome

Claimant fails

Individual claims

Otherstruck out

The claim was struck out for non-pursuit after the claimant's solicitors withdrew, the claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence, mail was returned undeliverable, and the claimant failed to update her address with the tribunal.

Facts

The claimant brought claims against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council. Her solicitors withdrew from acting on her behalf. The tribunal sent a status enquiry letter and subsequently a strike out warning letter to her address on 21 February 2025, but the correspondence was returned as undeliverable. The claimant failed to update the tribunal with her new address or respond to correspondence.

Decision

The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The tribunal concluded that, given the claimant's failure to maintain contact, update her address, or respond to correspondence, she no longer wished to pursue her claim.

Practical note

Claimants must maintain accurate contact details with the tribunal and respond to correspondence, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even after solicitors withdraw.
