Claimant v Cordia (Services) LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant's solicitors withdrew, he failed to respond to tribunal correspondence, moved address without notifying the tribunal, and took no steps to continue the claim.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia Services LLP. His solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent status enquiry and strike out warning letters, but these were returned as the claimant no longer resided at his registered address. The claimant failed to update his address or respond to tribunal correspondence.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue it. Unable to contact the claimant at his registered address and having received no response to correspondence, the tribunal concluded he no longer wished to pursue the claim.
Practical note
Claimants must maintain contact with the tribunal and update their address; failure to do so will result in strike out for non-pursuit even if the claim initially had merit.
