Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Miss C Varney's claim against Hillcrest Finance Limited (In Compulsory Liquidation). The reason given was that the respondent company was in compulsory liquidation and the 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 recorded that on 26 September 2022 it had given the claimant 14 days to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out as not actively pursued. The claimant did not give any reason in response, and the Tribunal therefore struck the claim out on 20 October 2022. No merits findings or remedy award were made.

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.
