Claimant v Glasgow City Council
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out under rule 37(1)(d) for non-pursuit. Claimant's solicitors withdrew, claimant failed to respond to tribunal correspondence, moved address without informing tribunal, and tribunal assumed she no longer wished to pursue the claim.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim against Glasgow City Council. Her solicitors withdrew from acting. The tribunal sent correspondence on 25 July 2024 to confirm her intention to proceed, but this was returned as the claimant no longer lived at the address on the ET1. The claimant failed to inform the tribunal of her new address and took no steps to progress her claim.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) on the grounds of non-pursuit. The tribunal was unable to communicate with the claimant due to lack of current address and assumed she no longer wished to pursue the claim.
Practical note
Claimants must keep the tribunal informed of their current address and actively pursue their claims, or risk strike-out even without a formal hearing.
