Recent filings and Gazette activity
No recent insolvency notices or advertisement records were contained in the supplied dataset for this listing. Official statutory notices published under the Insolvency Act 1986 can be tracked via The Gazette.
Parties reviewing the regulatory standing of an entity should cross-reference cause-list data against the daily winding up petitions list and the complete High Court official court roll.
What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
When a company is listed for a winding-up hearing under section 122(1)(f) of the Insolvency Act 1986, counterparties and trade creditors typically conduct a structured risk assessment. Under section 127 of the same Act, any disposition of company property made after the presentation of a winding-up petition is void unless validated by order of the court.
Commercial credit professionals evaluating exposure generally follow a three-step assessment process:
1. Verification of Court Status: Verify whether a petition has been formally presented and check its current court listing status using a full winding up search.
2. Credit Exposure Review: Evaluate outstanding trade invoices, goods in transit, and contractual commitments.
3. Account Monitoring: Set up automated tracking through free company monitoring to capture sudden regulatory or registry status changes.
How to run a winding up petition search
To investigate the standing of any UK company, commercial counterparties typically consult three primary sources: Companies House for registered corporate records, The Gazette for published statutory notices, and High Court cause lists for active petition proceedings. Running a dedicated winding up petition search ensures early visibility before statutory advertisements or public insolvency filings appear on the corporate registry.
For conveyancers, lawyers and lenders
A formal winding up search is professionally required before property completions, debt refinancings, or major commercial contracts. Failing to identify a pending petition prior to transaction execution can lead to dispositions being declared void under section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986, resulting in severe financial loss and professional liability. Legal and credit risk teams can perform an immediate exact-match check using the Corp Intel winding up search tool.
How Corp Intel streamlines insolvency risk tracking
Traditionally, credit managers and legal advisors spent hours cross-referencing Companies House records, scouring court rolls, and manually checking Gazette notices. This fragmented process created significant intelligence gaps, particularly during the critical window between court petition presentation and public advertisement. Corp Intel unifies these disparate datasets into a single real-time intelligence platform, allowing risk professionals to conduct a thorough winding up search instantly and receive automated email alerts on corporate changes.
FAQ
What happens at a High Court winding-up petition hearing?
At a winding-up petition hearing in the High Court, a judge considers the petition presented against the company. The court may grant a winding-up order, dismiss the petition, adjourn the hearing to allow further evidence or payment negotiations, or substitute another creditor as petitioner.
Does a court listing mean the company is insolvent?
No. A cause list entry records that a petition hearing has been scheduled by the court. It is not an adjudication of insolvency. The legal outcome depends on the evidence presented to the court at the hearing.
Why might a case name on the cause list differ slightly from Companies House?
Court listings reflect the wording supplied in the original court documents filed by the petitioning party. Minor variations, such as operating names or regional identifiers, can occur between court cause lists and official Companies House entity titles.
What is the risk under Section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986?
Section 127 invalidates any property dispositions, share transfers, or bank account payments made by a company after the petition presentation date if a winding-up order is subsequently granted, unless validated by court order.
