EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4113778/2015 Mr I Ralston
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 17 July 2020, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 31 July 2020 or to request a hearing to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing.
The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, relying on rule 37(1)(d) on the basis that the claim had not been actively pursued. The judgment does not record any determination on the underlying merits of the claim.
The judgment is a short procedural decision only. It records the strike-out order, the reason for it, and that the judgment was entered and copied to the parties on 13 April 2021 by Employment Judge Mary Kearns.

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.
