Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal 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 claim had previously been stayed for six months so that the claimant could seek restoration, but no restoration application was made.
The tribunal also 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 give an acceptable reason. On that basis, the tribunal found that the claim had not been actively pursued and ordered that it be struck out. The judgment does not record any substantive determination of the underlying employment claim.

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.
