EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case Number: 4118566/2014 Mr A Walker
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Rules in Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the ground that the claim had not been actively pursued under rule 37(1)(d).
The reasons given were 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provided had been returned marked 'gone away', no new address had been provided, and the claimant's previous agents had withdrawn and did not hold any other address for him. In those circumstances, the tribunal concluded 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.
