Mr G D R Robinson v BlackArrow Financial Solutions Ltd (In Compulsory Liquidation): 4105489/2023
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out under rule 37 of the Rules contained in Schedule 1 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 on the grounds that the claim has not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).REASONS
[1]The claim made reference to a first and second respondent namely Blackarrow Financial Solutions Limited co Addleshaw Goddard LLP and Blackarrow Financial Solutions Limited. According to the publicly available information on Companies House these are the same legal entity namely Blackarrow Financial Solutions Limited which is in liquidation and the liquidator is Stuart Preston, Grant Thornton UK LLP. There is accordingly only one Respondent namely Blackarrow Financial Solutions Limited (in liquidation).[2]The Respondent has gone into compulsory liquidation. The Claimant was advised that they must apply to the court for permission to continue legal proceedings on 5 January 2024. The claimant has not provided evidence that he has applied to the court for permission to continue legal proceedings.[3]On 17 July 2024 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 31 July 2024 or to request a hearing in order to consider why the claim should not be struck out.[4]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made or to request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore strikes out the claim on the grounds that he has failed to pursue the claim actively, in terms of Rule 37(1)(d).
