Claimant v Premiere Conferencing (UK) Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for two reasons: the respondent company is in compulsory liquidation and permission of the court was not obtained as required by the Insolvency Act 1986, and the claimant failed to actively pursue the claim despite being given 14 days to provide written reasons.
Facts
Miss Nervais brought an employment claim against Premiere Conferencing (UK) Limited. The respondent company entered compulsory liquidation. On 4 June 2025, the Tribunal gave the claimant 14 days to explain why the claim should not be struck out for failure to actively pursue it. The claimant did not obtain permission from the court to continue proceedings against the insolvent company as required by the Insolvency Act 1986, and failed to provide acceptable reasons for pursuing the claim.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim on two grounds: the respondent was in compulsory liquidation and the claimant had not obtained the required court permission to continue proceedings under the Insolvency Act 1986, and the claimant failed to actively pursue the claim after being given an opportunity to explain why it should continue.
Practical note
When bringing claims against companies in compulsory liquidation, claimants must obtain permission from the court to continue proceedings as required by the Insolvency Act 1986, and failure to actively pursue a claim will result in strike-out.
