EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4102993/2023 Mr B Joyce
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Rules in Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the ground that the claim had not been actively pursued under rule 37(1)(d).
The judgment records that on 15 September 2023 the claimant was given until 28 September 2023 to provide written reasons, or to request a hearing, to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant had failed to engage with Tribunal correspondence and had not responded to letters issued on 25 August 2023 and 5 September 2023.
The Tribunal found that the claimant had not given an acceptable reason why strike-out judgment should not be made and had not requested a hearing. The claim was therefore struck out, and the hearing scheduled for 23 October 2023 was cancelled.

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.
