Facts

Mrs Hampson brought a claim against Glasgow City Council and Cordia (Services) LLP. The case number suggests the claim was filed in 2009. On 27 November 2024, the Tribunal issued an unless order requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 11 December 2024 or request a hearing to show why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to comply.

Decision

The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) of the 2013 Rules on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's unless order or request a hearing, providing no acceptable reason why the strike-out should not proceed.

Practical note

Failure to respond to a tribunal's unless order requiring reasons why a claim should not be struck out will result in the claim being struck out for non-pursuit.
