Facts

Ms Abedi brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. On 14 January 2025, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 28 January 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond with acceptable reasons or request a hearing.

Decision

The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 due to the claimant's failure to engage with the tribunal process and provide reasons why the claim should continue. The claimant did not pursue the claim.

Practical note

Claimants must actively engage with tribunal directions and deadlines, or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38.
