Claimant v Cordia Services LLP
Outcome
Individual claims
Claims struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d). Claimant's solicitors withdrew, claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence, failed to provide updated address, and correspondence was returned undelivered.
Facts
The claimant brought claims against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council. Her solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent a status enquiry letter and subsequently a strike-out warning letter dated 7 February 2025. The correspondence was returned as the claimant no longer resided at the address on the ET1. The claimant failed to advise the tribunal of her new address and did not respond to tribunal correspondence.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claims under rule 38(1)(d) on grounds that the claims had not been actively pursued. The tribunal was unable to communicate with the claimant as she had not updated her address, and assumed in these circumstances that she no longer wished to pursue her claims.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the tribunal informed of their current contact details and respond to tribunal correspondence, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even without a formal hearing.
