Facts
The claimant Miss S Glover brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP in 2010. The claim was not actively pursued by the claimant. On 9 January 2025, the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 23 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 the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing in response to the tribunal's unless order.
