Claimant v CITB
Outcome
Other
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing concerning the proper identification of the claimant party. Mr L Blay, a Director of MJL Construction Associates Limited, had initially brought the claim in his personal capacity. The respondent was CITB, represented by their Compliance Manager Mr J Byrne.
Decision
The tribunal ordered that Mr L Blay be removed as the claimant and replaced by MJL Construction Associates Limited. This was a procedural correction to ensure the correct corporate entity was named as the claimant in the proceedings.
Practical note
Claims brought by individuals on behalf of companies must be correctly named as corporate claimants rather than in the director's personal capacity.
