Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim. It had written to the claimant on 8 February 2023 giving an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing about why the claim should not be struck out.
The reason given was that the claimant had not told the Tribunal that she had obtained the consent of the administrator or permission of the court to allow the claim to proceed, as required by the Insolvency Act 1986. The Tribunal found that the claimant had failed to provide the necessary consent or adequate reasons for that failure.

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.
