Recent filings and Gazette activity
A statutory notice was published in The Gazette on 20 August 2026, referencing case number CR-2026-005415 in the High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts of England & Wales. The notice recorded the advertisement of the winding-up petition against ACTUALLY CREATIVE LIMITED.
In addition to the Gazette notice, the company's status on the register includes a notice of active proposal to strike off. Under Section 1000 of the Companies Act 2006, striking off may be initiated by the registrar or requested voluntarily, whereas a court petition under the Insolvency Act 1986 is a formal judicial proceeding brought by a creditor or interested party.
What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
When a company faces court proceedings or statutory notices, counterparties typically apply standard credit control procedures to evaluate financial exposure. The following steps form a standard assessment framework:
1. Verify court records: Confirm the hearing date and case reference on the official court cause list.
2. Run formal searches: Execute a verified winding up search to ensure no prior or parallel petitions exist on record.
3. Review contract terms: Check agreements regarding default conditions, payment terms, and ownership retention clauses.
4. Monitor filings ongoing: Set up free company monitoring to receive immediate notifications if corporate status changes or subsequent notices are lodged.
For conveyancers, lawyers and lenders
When undertaking commercial transactions, property transfers, or credit extensions, executing a verified winding up search is a standard due diligence requirement. Missing an active petition prior to contract exchange or completion can expose counterparties to disposition challenges under Section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Conducting a prompt winding up petition search ensures legal and risk teams identify pending High Court proceedings before funds are disbursed.
How to investigate further
To conduct further checks on this entity or verify court status, consult official public repositories. You can review corporate filing histories at Companies House, check advertised petitions via The Gazette, examine daily listings on the court cause list, or execute a targeted winding up search.
FAQ
What does a winding-up petition listing indicate?
A winding-up petition listing shows that a party has applied to the High Court for an order to wind up the company, usually alleging unpaid debts. It indicates a pending judicial hearing, not a final court determination of insolvency.
Where are High Court winding-up petitions heard?
In England and Wales, petitions are heard in the Business and Property Courts, primarily located at the Rolls Building in London, or across regional High Court centres.
Can a winding-up petition be withdrawn or dismissed?
Yes. A petition may be dismissed, withdrawn, or adjourned if the debt is settled, disputed on bona fide grounds, or if the court determines that the petition criteria are not satisfied.
How does a strike-off proposal differ from a winding-up petition?
A strike-off proposal is an administrative process under the Companies Act 2006 to remove a company from the register, often due to inactivity or late filings. A winding-up petition is a formal judicial proceeding under the Insolvency Act 1986 usually initiated by a creditor.
