Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that LJC Transport Ltd was in compulsory liquidation and that permission of the court had not been obtained for the proceedings to be instituted or continued, as required by the Insolvency Act 1986. On that basis, the tribunal held that the claim could not proceed.
The tribunal also relied on case management history. On 16 September 2021 it had given the claimant 14 days to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out because it had not been actively pursued. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason.
The judgment states that the claim was therefore struck out. It does not determine the substantive merits of any underlying employment complaint and records no monetary award.
Claims and outcomes
1 finding recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other | The judgment does not identify the underlying cause(s) of action; it records only that 'the claim' was struck out. The strike out was procedural, because the respondent was in compulsory liquidation and permission of the court had not been obtained under the Insolvency Act 1986, and because the claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason after being given an opportunity on 16 September 2021 to explain why the claim should not be struck out for lack of active pursuit. | Struck 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.
