EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 2200440/2019 Ms O Ryan
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the basis that it had not been actively pursued under rule 37(1)(d).
The claimant's solicitor had withdrawn from acting, and the Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 28 July 2022 seeking confirmation of her intentions regarding the claim. That correspondence was returned because the claimant no longer lived at the address provided on the ET1, and she had not informed the Tribunal of a new address.
The Tribunal recorded that, without a current address, it could not communicate with the claimant or give notice under rule 37(2). It assumed in those circumstances that she no longer wished to pursue the claim and struck it out.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record. See full methodology.
