Individual claims

Otherstruck out

Claims struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's unless order of 17 February 2025 requiring written reasons by 3 March 2025 or a request for a hearing.

Facts

The claimant brought two consolidated claims against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council. On 17 February 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 3 March 2025 or request a hearing to explain why the claims should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply with this order.

Decision

The tribunal struck out both claims under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claims had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to provide any acceptable reason for non-compliance with the unless order or to request a hearing.

Practical note

Failure to comply with an unless order requiring a response will result in strike-out for non-pursuit, even where the claimant is unrepresented.
