Facts
Mrs Hope brought a claim against Glasgow City Council in 2006. On 5 September 2024, the tribunal ordered the claimant to provide written reasons by 19 September 2024 or request a hearing to show cause why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to respond or request a hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Eccles struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) on the basis that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given an opportunity to show cause but failed to provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must respond to tribunal orders and actively pursue their claims, or face strike-out for non-pursuit even in long-running cases.
