Claimant v Panoramic Doors (UK) Limited
Outcome
Facts
This was a remedy hearing following a default judgment granted on 30 October 2024. The respondent company, Panoramic Doors (UK) Limited, had been dissolved on 2 May 2024 and was not on the register of companies. The claimant did not attend the remedy hearing to provide evidence of the amounts claimed. The claimant had not successfully applied to restore the company to the register.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim due to the claimant's non-attendance at the remedy hearing. The tribunal noted that even if the claimant had attended, the claim would have been struck out because the respondent company had been dissolved and not restored to the register.
Practical note
A claimant cannot pursue a claim against a dissolved company unless it is successfully restored to the Companies Register, and non-attendance at a remedy hearing will result in dismissal even after obtaining a default judgment.
