EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4114362/2014 Mr M Whalen
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal for Scotland struck out Mr M Whalen's claim against Wood Group PSN Limited under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The reason given was that the claim had not been actively pursued within rule 37(1)(d).
The tribunal noted that on 8 April 2021 it gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 22 April 2021, or to request a hearing so the tribunal could consider why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing.
On that basis, Employment Judge Robert Gall ordered that the claim be struck out. The extracted judgment does not record any merits determination, liability finding, or monetary award.

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.
