Facts
Mrs Holland brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP in 2009. The case was not actively pursued. 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 failure to actively pursue. The claimant did not provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing following the tribunal's order, leaving the tribunal with no option but to strike out the claim.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal case management orders or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit, even in long-running cases.
