Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant's executor failed to provide acceptable reasons by the deadline or request a hearing after being given the opportunity to do so.
Facts
This is a historical claim from 2008 brought by Mrs M Cairney against Glasgow City Council. The claimant has since deceased and the claim was being pursued by her executor. The tribunal gave the executor an opportunity to provide reasons why the claim should not be struck out by 25 February 2025 or to request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that it has not been actively pursued. The claimant's executor failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing within the deadline set.
Practical note
Executors pursuing claims on behalf of deceased claimants must actively respond to tribunal directions or risk strike-out for non-pursuit.
