The claim was struck out for non-pursuit under rule 37(1)(d). The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's order of 11 September 2024 requiring written reasons by 25 September 2024 or a request for a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out.
Facts
Mrs Holmes brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP in 2009. The case remained dormant for many years. On 11 September 2024, the tribunal gave the claimant until 25 September 2024 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant was given a clear opportunity to show cause why the claim should continue but failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing.
Practical note
Long-dormant claims will be struck out for non-pursuit if the claimant fails to respond to tribunal directions requiring them to show cause why the claim should continue.
