EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4101961/2019 Mrs K Hetherington
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the ground that it had not been actively pursued.
The claimant's solicitors had withdrawn from acting. A letter sent to the claimant on 24 May 2023 asking her to confirm her intention regarding the claim was returned because she no longer lived at the ET1 address. The claimant had not provided a new address, so the Tribunal could not communicate with her or give notice under rule 37(2).
In those circumstances, the Tribunal assumed that the claimant no longer wished to pursue the claim and struck it out under rule 37(1)(d).

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.
