EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4112053/2018 Miss M Fitzsimmons
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the ground that it had not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).
The reasons record that the claimant's solicitors had withdrawn and that a strike out warning letter was sent on 14 June 2023 after the claimant failed to respond to a status enquiry about whether she intended to continue the claim. The correspondence was returned because the claimant no longer lived at the address on the ET1, and she had not provided a new address.
The Tribunal stated that, without updated address information, it could not communicate with the claimant and had been unable to give notice under rule 37(2). It assumed in those circumstances that the claimant no longer wished to pursue the claim.

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.
