Facts
Claimant Ms E Watt brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life. The tribunal issued an unless order on 10 January 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 24 January 2025 or request a hearing to explain 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 give an acceptable reason why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing.
Practical note
Failure to comply with an unless order requiring a claimant to show cause why a claim should not be struck out will result in automatic strike out for non-pursuit.
