Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue after the claimant failed to provide written reasons by the deadline or request a hearing following the tribunal's unless order of 8 January 2025.
Facts
Ms McGeachie brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. The tribunal issued an unless order on 8 January 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 22 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(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued, as the claimant failed to respond to the unless order or request a hearing.
Practical note
Failure to comply with tribunal unless orders will result in claims being struck out for non-pursuit, even without a hearing.
