Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 37(1)(d) for non-pursuit. The claimant was given until 24 September 2024 to provide written reasons or request a hearing but failed to do so.
Facts
Mrs L Jackson brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2008. On 10 September 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 24 September 2024 or to request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond or request a hearing.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given a final opportunity to show cause why the claim should continue but failed to provide any acceptable reason or engage with the Tribunal's order.
Practical note
Tribunals will strike out claims for non-pursuit where claimants fail to respond to unless orders requiring them to show cause why the claim should continue.
