Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out case numbers 2300433/2021 and 2300604/2021. 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 noted that on 9 March 2022 it gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claim should be struck out. The judgment records no merits findings and no monetary award.

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.
