Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant was given until 27 January 2025 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but failed to respond or provide an acceptable reason.
Facts
Mrs McGeachie brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP in 2019. The claim was not actively pursued. On 13 January 2025, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 27 January 2025 to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond or provide an acceptable reason.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out but failed to do so.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal orders; failure to do so will result in the claim being struck out for non-pursuit.
