Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome

Claim struck out under rule 37(1)(d) for not being actively pursued. Claimant failed to respond to tribunal's notice of 5 September 2024 giving opportunity to provide reasons or request hearing by 19 September 2024.
Facts
The claimant Ms J Gunning brought a claim against Glasgow City Council with case number 121200/2008. On 5 September 2024, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 19 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) on the grounds that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant's failure to respond to the tribunal's notice or request a hearing demonstrated a lack of active pursuit of the claim.
Practical note
Claimants must actively pursue their claims and respond to tribunal correspondence; failure to do so will result in strike-out under rule 37(1)(d) even without a hearing.
