Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that Listen Ltd was in administration. It found that neither the consent of the Administrator nor 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 9 January 2021 the claimants were given an opportunity to provide written reasons why the claims should not be struck out because they had not been actively pursued. The claimants failed to give an acceptable reason.
For those reasons, the tribunal struck out the claims. No monetary award was 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.
