Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the basis that it had not been actively pursued.
The judgment records that the first respondent was in compulsory liquidation and that the claimant had been notified of the need to obtain the court's consent for the proceedings to be instituted or continued under the Insolvency Act 1986. No such consent had been obtained. The claimant was also given an opportunity on 5 November 2025 to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but the time limit passed without an acceptable reason being provided.

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.
