Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent, Volta Trucks Ltd (in administration), was the subject of proceedings in which the tribunal recorded that the company was in administration. The tribunal found 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 recorded that, on 18 December 2024, it had given the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out for not being actively pursued. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim.
The judgment does not determine the substance of the underlying race discrimination or unfair dismissal complaints. It is a procedural strike-out decision only, with no monetary award recorded.

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.
