Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. On 17 January 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order giving the claimant until 31 January 2025 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit, or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond to this order or provide any acceptable reason.
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. The claimant's failure to comply with the tribunal's unless order and failure to engage with the proceedings resulted in the claim being dismissed.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal directions and comply with unless orders, as failure to do so will result in the claim being struck out for non-pursuit.
