Recent filings and Gazette activity
No insolvency-related statutory advertisements have been published in The Gazette in relation to this case at the time of reporting. Filings regarding formal appointments or moratoriums will appear on the register should an order or formal appointment follow under the Insolvency Act 1986.
What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
When a court filing of this nature appears on CE-File, counterparties should review their ongoing exposure. A notice of intention to appoint an administrator creates an interim moratorium under Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986, restricting legal process and enforcement action against the company without the permission of the court.
Trade creditors, finance providers, and commercial customers should adopt a structured approach:
1. Review ledger balances, work-in-progress, and any goods dispatched on credit terms.
2. Verify the existence and enforceability of Retention of Title (RoT) clauses under commercial contracts.
3. Complete a company charge check to establish where fixed and floating charges rank on the asset base.
4. Run a comprehensive winding up search across connected group entities to determine if the distress is localized or systemic.
5. Adjust trading terms to cash-on-delivery or secure pro-forma payment arrangements for ongoing commitments.
Practical scenario: managing supply-chain exposure
Consider an engineering component supplier with £40,000 in outstanding 30-day invoices to an automotive technology developer facing an administration application. If the supplier continues unhedged deliveries, those goods may become subject to the administration moratorium, leaving the balance as an unsecured claim. A credit manager running a prompt winding up petition search can halt pending dispatches, invoke RoT provisions, and require immediate pre-payment before releasing specialized tooling.
For conveyancers, lawyers and lenders
Legal practitioners and institutional lenders conducting corporate transactions or asset purchases must verify court filings immediately prior to exchange or completion. A winding up search before exchange of contracts would have flagged the petition or administration notice before funds were irrevocably committed. Missing an active court filing risks transactions being challenged or stayed under statutory moratorium provisions. To maintain continuous oversight on corporate counterparties, credit teams often set up free company monitoring for automated filing alerts.
How to investigate further
To evaluate EVICE LTD in greater depth, practitioners can:
- Review the underlying company filings and statutory officers on Companies House.
- Check The Gazette for formal notices of appointment, meeting notices, or statutory advertisements.
- Monitor ongoing cause lists and CE-File entries via the Central Registry of Winding-up Petitions.
- Review the detailed company profile on Corp Intel.
If you need to evaluate other counterparties or commercial borrowers, you can perform an independent winding up search to identify filed actions across the High Court and regional business and property courts.
FAQ
What is a Notice of Intention to appoint an administrator?
A Notice of Intention to appoint an administrator is a formal document filed at court under Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 by a company, its directors, or a qualifying floating charge holder. Filing this notice triggers an interim statutory moratorium, which temporarily shields the company from creditor enforcement action while an administrator is arranged.
Does this filing mean the company is in liquidation?
No. A notice of intention relates to administration, which aims to rescue the company as a going concern or achieve a better result for creditors than winding up. It is not an order for compulsory liquidation.
How does an interim moratorium affect suppliers?
During an interim moratorium, no steps may be taken to enforce security, repossess hire-purchase goods, or commence legal proceedings against the company without court consent. Suppliers holding valid Retention of Title clauses cannot enforce recovery without permission from the court or the appointed administrator.
How long does the notice of intention remain valid?
Under the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, a notice of intention filed by directors or the company creates an interim moratorium lasting ten business days. If no administrator is formally appointed within that period, the moratorium expires unless extended or renewed.
