Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant was given until 31 January 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing, and therefore the tribunal struck out the claim.
Facts
This case involved a claim by Mr McKean against Glasgow City Council filed in 2019. The tribunal determined that the claim had not been actively pursued by the claimant. On 17 January 2025, the tribunal gave the claimant until 31 January 2025 to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) on grounds of non-pursuit. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons why the claim should not be struck out and did not request a hearing to address the issue.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit regardless of underlying merit.
