Did not attend For the v Pastan Ltd (in liquidation) — 2025

Julia Bruni did not attend the hearing. The tribunal said that, from the payslips, it concluded she was employed by Natsap Limited. It dismissed the unfair dismissal and statutory redundancy pay claims because she had not been employed for at least two years.

The tribunal struck out the remaining claims for pay arrears, notice pay and holiday pay because the claimant was not actively pursuing them. It said it could not enter judgment on those claims without clarification of what was owing, and recorded that she had not responded to strike-out warning letters, a tribunal letter asking for details of the claim, or telephone messages from the clerk.

The judgment also noted that the claims against Pastan Limited could not continue because it was in compulsory liquidation and permission of the High Court would be required. In any event, the tribunal said it did not consider Pastan Limited to have been the claimant's employer. It further said the claims against Mr Ibanez and Mr Fawcett would be dismissed anyway because they were individuals and the claimant was employed by a company.
