Facts

Ms Wilson brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life. The claim was not actively pursued. On 13 January 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 27 January 2025 or request a hearing as to 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 respond to the unless order or provide acceptable reasons for non-compliance.

Practical note

Failure to respond to a tribunal's unless order regarding non-pursuit will result in the claim being struck out without a hearing.
