Facts
Miss M Wilson brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. The tribunal issued an order on 13 August 2024 requiring the claimant to provide written reasons by 27 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) for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant provided no acceptable reason for non-compliance with the tribunal's order and did not request a hearing. The claim was therefore dismissed.
Practical note
Claimants must respond to tribunal orders and actively pursue their claims, or risk strike-out for non-pursuit under rule 37(1)(d).
