Mr E Docherty v JD Thomson and Sons: 4110409/2019
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 ET1 was lodged on 25 August 2019. Notice of this claim was served on the named respondent on 28 August 2019. On 8 October 2019 correspondence was sent from the Employment Tribunal office to the claimant noting that no acceptable response had been received to this claim and seeking further information to allow a Judgment to be issued. The claimant did not reply to that correspondence from the Employment Tribunal, or to subsequent correspondence to the claimant from the Employment Tribunal of 17 October 2019 or 31 October 2019.[2]On 31 October 2019 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 14 November 2019 to request a hearing in order to consider why the claim should not be struck out.[3]The claimant has failed to respond or give an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made or to request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore strikes out the claim.
