Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim. It recorded that the respondent company had been dissolved and that the claimant had not applied to have it restored to the Register of Companies.
The tribunal also recorded that on 14 July 2023 it had given the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out because it had not been actively pursued. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claim should be struck out. No merits finding or monetary remedy was recorded in the judgment.

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.
