Facts
Mrs J Campbell brought a claim against Glasgow City Council (case number 121141/2008). On 12 September 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 26 September 2024 or request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond or provide any acceptable reason.
Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals Rules 2013 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given a clear opportunity to respond but failed to engage with the process.
Practical note
A claimant must actively pursue their claim and respond to tribunal directions, or risk having the claim struck out for non-pursuit even after being given a final opportunity to show cause.
