Facts
This is a strike-out judgment where the claimant failed to actively pursue their claim against Glasgow City Council. On 14 January 2025 the Tribunal gave the claimant until 4 February 2025 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond or give an acceptable reason.
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 engage with the Tribunal's unless order and provided no acceptable reason for non-compliance.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal procedures and respond to unless orders, or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit even without a substantive hearing.
