Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after claimant failed to respond to tribunal order to provide reasons or request a hearing by 24th January 2025.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life. The tribunal issued an unless order on 10th January 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 24th January 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 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 for failure to actively pursue the claim, as the claimant did not provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing following the unless order.
Practical note
Failure to respond to tribunal unless orders will result in strike out for non-pursuit even in long-running cases.
