Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. Claimant was given until 27 January 2025 to provide reasons or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out, but failed to give an acceptable reason or request a hearing.
Facts
Ms Doyle brought an employment tribunal claim against Glasgow City Council and Glasgow Life in 2010. 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 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 provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing as required by the unless order.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and comply with tribunal orders; failure to respond to an unless order regarding strike out will result in the claim being dismissed for non-pursuit.
