Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out for non-pursuit under rule 38(1)(d) after the claimant failed to respond to tribunal directions by 29 January 2025 or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
Mrs P Donaldson brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. On 15 January 2025, the tribunal directed the claimant to provide written reasons by 29 January 2025 or request a hearing to show why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply with this direction.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing despite being given the opportunity to do so.
Practical note
Claimants must actively respond to tribunal directions and pursue their claims, or risk having them struck out for non-pursuit even without a hearing.
