Claim struck out under rule 38(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's order of 6 January 2025 requiring written reasons by 27 January 2025 or a request for hearing to show why the claim should not be struck out.

Facts

Mrs McKee brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. On 6 January 2025 the tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 27 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 basis that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to provide any acceptable reason or request a hearing as required by the tribunal's order.

Practical note

Failure to comply with an unless order to show cause against strike-out will result in the claim being struck out for non-pursuit without a hearing.
