Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue. The claimant was given an opportunity until 5 March 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing but failed to do so, resulting in the tribunal striking out the claim for non-pursuit.
Facts
Ms Larkin brought a claim against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council. The tribunal issued an unless order on 19 February 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 5 March 2025 or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply with this order.
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. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing after being given the opportunity to do so.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal directions and unless orders, as failure to respond can result in the claim being struck out for non-pursuit without a substantive hearing.
