Facts
Mrs McCann brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. On 20 January 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 3 February 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 for failure to actively pursue the claim. The claimant did not provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing in response to the unless order.
Practical note
Failure to respond to an unless order requiring a claimant to show cause why a claim should not be struck out will result in automatic strike-out for non-pursuit.
