Respondent

Aberdeen City Council

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued under 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 No new address had been provided, and the claimant's former agents had withdrawn and did not hold any other address for him. 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.
