The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. ________________________ Employment Judge Slater Date: 18 March 2020 Case No: 2400645/2020[1]The respondent company is in compulsory liquidation. The permission of the court has not been obtained for these proceedings to be instituted or continued as required by the Insolvency Act 1986.[2]On 23 January 2021, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons within 14 days why the claim should not be struck out as it had not been actively pursued. The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason. The claim is therefore struck out.
