EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4112823/2015 Mr J O’Neill
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant's solicitors had withdrawn, and correspondence sent on 18 October 2023 seeking confirmation of the claimant's intentions was returned because the claimant no longer resided at the address provided on the ET1.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant had not advised it of a new address, meaning it could not communicate with him and could not give notice under rule 37(2). In those circumstances, the tribunal assumed he no longer wished to pursue the claim and struck it out under rule 37(1)(d).

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. See full methodology.
