EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND)
Case No 4103328/2023
Mr S GbadamosiClaimantOptilan UK Ltd (In Liquidation)Respondent
Date 11 October 2024

JUDGMENT

The claim is struck out under rule 37 of the Rules contained in Schedule 1 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the grounds that the claim has not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).

REASONS

[1]The Respondent company has gone into compulsory liquidation. The Claimant was advised that they must apply to the court for permission to continue legal proceedings on 21 July 2023. The claimant has not provided evidence that he has applied to the court for permission to continue legal proceedings.[2]On 11 September 2024 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 25 September 2024 or to request a hearing in order to consider why the claim should not be struck out.[3]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made or to request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore strikes out the claim on the grounds that she has failed to pursue the claim actively, in terms of Rule 37(1)(d). L Doherty
