Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal struck out the claim in its entirety. Employment Judge Batten recorded that the respondent company, Dave Whelan Sports Limited (in Administration), was in administration and that neither the consent of the Administrator nor the permission of the court had been obtained for the proceedings to be instituted or continued, as required by the Insolvency Act 1986.
The tribunal also noted that on 13 July 2021 the claimant was given an opportunity to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out for want of active pursuit. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason. On that basis, the tribunal concluded 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.
