Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Struck out under rule 37(1)(d) for failure to actively pursue the claim. Claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's order of 12 September 2024 requiring written reasons by 26 September 2024 or a request for a hearing.
Facts
Ms Campbell brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2008. On 12 September 2024, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 26 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 to 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 an acceptable reason why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, despite being given the opportunity to do so.
Practical note
Claimants must actively engage with tribunal orders and pursue their claims, or risk strike-out for non-pursuit even in long-running cases.
