Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal for Scotland struck out Miss K Jaff's claim against Shelter, The National Campaign For Homeless People Ltd under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The strike out was made on the grounds of non-compliance with Tribunal orders and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The respondent's application of 29 February 2024 relied on the claimant's failure to comply with the Tribunal's order of 24 January 2024, sent to the parties on 25 January 2024, requiring a disability impact statement by 21 February 2024. It also relied on non-compliance with the Tribunal's order of 20 February 2024 requiring the claimant to confirm by 27 February 2024 whether she wished to proceed with the claim or withdraw it.
On 5 March 2024 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 12 March 2024, or to request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. No reply was received. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rules 37(1)(c) and 37(1)(d). The judgment records no merits determination and no monetary award.

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.
