Mr G A Marr v Balgownie Ltd (In Administration) — 2024

This was a short procedural judgment in which Employment Judge P O'Donnell struck out Mr G A Marr's claim against Balgownie Ltd (In Administration) under rule 37(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the claim had not been actively pursued. The tribunal recorded that the respondent company 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 had given the claimant an opportunity on 5 December 2024 to provide written reasons by 19 December 2024 explaining why the claim should not be struck out for want of active pursuit. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason. The claim was therefore struck out. No substantive liability findings or remedy award were made.
