Outcome
Individual claims
Claim struck out for two reasons: respondent is in compulsory liquidation and court permission to continue not obtained as required by Insolvency Act 1986; claimant failed to actively pursue claim and did not provide acceptable reasons when given opportunity by tribunal.
Facts
Mr Boyle brought a claim against Satori Risk, which subsequently entered compulsory liquidation. The claimant did not obtain court permission to continue the proceedings as required by the Insolvency Act 1986. On 4 June 2025, the tribunal gave the claimant 14 days to explain why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim on two grounds: first, the respondent is in compulsory liquidation and the claimant has not obtained the required court permission to continue; second, the claimant has failed to actively pursue the claim and did not provide acceptable reasons when given the opportunity to do so.
Practical note
Claims against companies in compulsory liquidation require court permission to proceed under the Insolvency Act 1986, and failure to pursue a claim or respond to tribunal directions will result in strike-out.
