Facts
Mr Carr brought a claim against East Dunbartonshire Council in 2015. On 4 December 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 18 December 2024 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant failed to respond or request a hearing.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain or request a hearing but failed to do so.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal directions; failure to engage with the process will result in strike-out for non-pursuit.
