Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. His solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent a status enquiry letter and strike out warning letter on 19 February 2025, but correspondence was returned indicating the claimant no longer resided at the address on his ET1. The claimant took no steps to advise the tribunal of a new address.

The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue the claim. Unable to communicate with the claimant due to no current address being provided, the tribunal assumed the claimant no longer wished to pursue his claim.
