Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The claimant was given until 27 January 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing but failed to do so.
Facts
This is a procedural strike-out case. The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2011. By January 2025, the Tribunal was concerned the claim was not being actively pursued. The claimant was given until 27 January 2025 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. 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 basis that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given a final opportunity to show cause but failed to provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions, or risk strike-out for non-pursuit even in long-standing cases.
