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's unless order dated 13 January 2025 requiring written reasons by 27 January 2025 or to request a hearing.
Facts
Mrs Lynch brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. 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 show 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 for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing following the unless order.
Practical note
Failure to comply with an unless order will result in a claim being struck out for non-pursuit, even without a hearing.
