Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mrs N Howcroft's claim against Brain and Co (South Wales) Ltd because the respondent company was in administration and neither the consent of the administrator nor permission of the court had been obtained for the proceedings to be instituted or continued, as required by the Insolvency Act 1986. The judgment does not set out any substantive hearing of the merits of the underlying claim.
The tribunal noted that on 3 September 2021 it gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out, but the claimant failed to give an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out by Employment Judge S Jenkins on 21 October 2021, and the judgment was sent to the parties on 11 November 2021.

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.
