Facts
Mrs Duffy brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP in 2009. The tribunal issued an order on 12 August 2024 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 26 August 2024 or request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond or comply with this order.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to provide acceptable reasons or request a hearing as directed by the tribunal's earlier order.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and comply with tribunal orders or risk strike-out under rule 37(1)(d) for non-pursuit, even in long-running cases.
