Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d). Claimant's solicitors withdrew, claimant failed to respond to Tribunal status enquiry, correspondence returned as claimant no longer at registered address, and no steps taken to update contact details.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council. Her solicitors withdrew from acting for her. The Tribunal sent a status enquiry letter to confirm her intentions regarding the claim, which she did not respond to. A strike out warning letter was issued on 21 February 2025. This correspondence was returned as the claimant no longer resided at the address on the ET1 form, and she had not updated the Tribunal with her new address.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue it. The Tribunal assumed the claimant no longer wished to pursue her claim given her failure to respond to correspondence, failure to update her contact details, and inability of the Tribunal to communicate with her.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the Tribunal informed of their current contact details and respond to status enquiries, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even before a hearing.
