Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr P Spencer's claim against FTS Hatswells Limited (in Compulsory Liquidation). It recorded that the respondent company was in compulsory liquidation and that permission of the court had not been obtained for the proceedings to be instituted or continued, as required by the Insolvency Act 1986.
The tribunal also noted that on 14 April 2023 it had given the claimant 14 days 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.
For those reasons, the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment contains no merits findings and no monetary award.

| Other | The judgment does not determine the underlying merits of any substantive claim. It strikes out the claim because the respondent company was in compulsory liquidation without the court's permission to continue proceedings, and because the claimant failed to give an acceptable reason after being invited to do so on 14 April 2023. | Struck out | — | — |

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.
