Im taking a company to court via the small claims courts
And the court date is set for October 2016
But the company in May this Year has just done a dissolved via voluntary strike-off.
After checking this company out via Companies house they have open and closed the same company 4 times in the last 6 years.
My question is have i lost out with this company doing this and should i cancel the court date or can i carry on and try and get my monies back.
The amount was for £1,300

Thanks

the bit I dont understand is

open and closed the same company 4 times in the last 6 years.

if it is the same company you would be able to sue them
it is much more likely to be three other slightly different companies with every so slighly different names and company numbers.

When did you start action against the company?

Hi

December 2015 When we started the claim the court date is for October
The company did not follow the correct procedure when it applied to be struck off as you had already started the claim.

I hope somebody can advise you further but if not then it would do no harm to contact Companies House for advice on how to apply for the company to be restored to the Register so that your court claim can be dealt with
