Facts
Ms Reilly brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2008. On 4 September 2024, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 18 September 2024 or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant failed to respond or request a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) on the grounds that it has not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to comply with the tribunal's order and did not provide any acceptable reason why the claim should continue.
