Mr D Timms
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr D Timms's claim against Martin & Martin Meats (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 28 July 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, or any reason at all. On that basis, the tribunal held that the claim should be 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.
