Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after claimant failed to give acceptable reasons or request a hearing following tribunal's unless order dated 15 January 2025.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2019. The Tribunal issued an unless order on 15 January 2025 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons or request a hearing to explain 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 the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out but failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must actively comply with tribunal orders and engage with the process, or risk having their claim struck out for non-pursuit, even years after filing.
