Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after the claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's order of 15 January 2025 requiring written reasons by 29 January 2025 or a request for a hearing.
Facts
Mrs F Brown brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. On 15 January 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 29 January 2025 or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply with this order.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing despite being given the opportunity.
Practical note
Claimants must comply with unless orders and actively pursue their claims, or risk strike-out for non-pursuit even without a hearing.
