Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 for failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant failed to respond by the 6 March 2025 deadline after being given opportunity to provide written reasons or request a hearing.
Facts
This case was brought by Miss McNab against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. The tribunal issued an unless order on 20 February 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 6 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) for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant was given a clear opportunity to respond but failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing, leading to the claim being dismissed.
Practical note
Failure to comply with an unless order directing a claimant to show cause why a claim should not be struck out will result in strike out for non-pursuit, even without a hearing.
