Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was against Herman Ze German Limited (in voluntary liquidation). The tribunal recorded that the liquidator had confirmed the liquidation was nearing closure and that it was unlikely there would be sufficient assets to make any payment to the claimant. The claimant had been advised that he could claim certain payments from the Redundancy Payments Service, and the tribunal believed he had received such payments.
The claimant wrote on 21 September 2021 saying he wished to continue with the claim despite the liquidation and the likelihood of no recovery. On 14 December 2021 the tribunal asked him to provide a breakdown of what he was claiming so that judgment under rule 21 could be considered, but he did not respond. In light of the context and the failure to respond, Employment Judge Burns struck out the claim on the basis that it was no longer being actively pursued. No substantive findings on liability or remedy were made.

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.
