Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal for Scotland struck out Mr J Lynch's claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 on the ground that the claim had not been actively pursued within rule 37(1)(d). The reasons record that the tribunal received no response to requests for information from the claimant. It wrote on 3 March 2022 and sent a reminder on 18 March 2022, but no reply was received.
The tribunal then gave the claimant an opportunity on 30 March 2022 to provide written reasons by 13 April 2022 or to request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not respond, did not give reasons, and did not request a hearing. The judgment therefore records a strike out of the claim. No substantive merits findings or remedy award were made.

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.
