EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4108779/2014 Mr A Sargent
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 ground that the claim had not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).
The tribunal recorded that correspondence sent to the claimant at the address provided had been returned marked 'gone away'. No new address had been provided, and the claimant's previous agents had withdrawn from acting and did not hold any address for him other than the address in the claim form. In those circumstances, the tribunal found that the claim was not being actively pursued 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.
