Facts
Ms Brown brought a claim against Cordia Services LLP and Glasgow City Council in 2018. The tribunal issued an unless order on 7 February 2025 requiring the claimant to provide reasons by 21 February 2025 as to why the claim should not be struck out for failure to actively pursue, or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond or provide acceptable reasons.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given a final opportunity to explain or request a hearing but failed to do so, resulting in the claim being dismissed.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions, or risk having their entire claim struck out without a hearing on the merits.
