Mr R Gibson v Renfrew Transport Services Ltd: 8002539/2025
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out under the provisions of rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the basis that it has not been actively pursued.REASONS
[1]No response was presented to the claim. On 1 December 2025 notice of the final hearing and standard case management orders were issued to the claimant. The claimant did not reply to that correspondence or comply with those orders.[2]A reminder to comply with the case management order issued on 1 December 2025 was sent to the claimant by Legal Officer Ellison on 13 March 2026, with a “reply by” date of 20 March 2026. No reply was received.[3]A further reminder was sent to the claimant on 24 March 2026 by Legal Officer Demir, asking the claimant to confirm that they still wished to pursue the claim as there had been no reply to previous correspondence. The claimant was asked to reply by 26 March 2026. No reply was received.[4]On 25 March 2026 the final hearing listed for 26 March 2026 was postponed by the Vice President Judge Eccles due to the claimant’s failure to comply with directions. On 26 March 2026 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give reasons (or request a hearing to put forward reasons) by 9 April 2026 why the claim should not be struck out on the basis that it had not been actively pursued. No reply was received.[5]The claim is therefore now struck out under the provisions of rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the ground that it has not been actively pursued.
