Claimant v Air Broadband Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out because the respondent company is in compulsory liquidation and the required permission of the court to continue proceedings under the Insolvency Act 1986 was not obtained.
Facts
Mr S Butler brought a claim against Air Broadband Limited. The respondent company entered compulsory liquidation. The claimant did not obtain the required permission from the court to continue the proceedings against the company in liquidation.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim because the respondent was in compulsory liquidation and the Insolvency Act 1986 requires court permission to continue proceedings in such circumstances, which had not been obtained.
Practical note
Claims against companies in compulsory liquidation cannot proceed in the employment tribunal without first obtaining the permission of the court under the Insolvency Act 1986.
