Claimant v CPR Realisations Limited (In Administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
Claims struck out because respondent is in administration and neither the consent of the Administrator nor the permission of the Court was obtained as required by Insolvency Act 1986. Claimants also failed to pursue claims by not responding to tribunal letter dated 3 July 2025.
Facts
Seven claimants brought claims against CPR Realisations Ltd which was in administration. The respondent company was in administration and the claimants had not obtained the required consent of the Administrator or permission of the Court to continue the proceedings under the Insolvency Act 1986. The tribunal wrote to the claimants on 3 July 2025 giving them opportunity to make representations or request a hearing. The claimants failed to respond to the tribunal's letter.
Decision
The tribunal struck out all seven claims. The primary reason was failure to obtain the required consent or permission to continue proceedings against a company in administration under the Insolvency Act 1986. Additionally, the claimants had failed to actively pursue their claims by not responding to the tribunal's letter of 3 July 2025.
Practical note
Claims against a company in administration require either the administrator's consent or court permission to proceed under the Insolvency Act 1986, and failure to obtain this or to respond to tribunal correspondence will result in strike out.
