Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue. Claimant was given until 28 January 2025 to provide reasons or request a hearing but failed to respond.
Facts
Mrs McKenna brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. The tribunal issued an unless order on 14 January 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 28 January 2025 or request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued, as the claimant failed to comply with the unless order or provide an acceptable reason for non-compliance.
Practical note
Failure to respond to an unless order regarding pursuit of a claim will result in strike out under rule 38(1)(d), even without a hearing.
