EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4116133/2014 Mr M McDonald
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr M McDonald’s claim against Babcock Marine (Clyde) Limited under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The stated ground was that the claim had not been actively pursued under rule 37(1)(d).
The tribunal said correspondence sent to the address provided for the claimant had been returned marked “gone away”. No new address had been provided, and the claimant’s former agents had withdrawn from acting. They did not hold any address for him other than the one on the claim form.
In those circumstances, the tribunal concluded that the claim was not being actively pursued and ordered that it be struck out. The judgment records no substantive determination of the pleaded issues and no 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.
