Recent filings and Gazette activity
No recent insolvency notices or petition advertisements concerning Adams & Remers Limited have been recorded in The Gazette. Under the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, a petitioner is prohibited from advertising a petition until at least seven business days have elapsed following formal service upon the company, unless the court orders otherwise.
What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
The presentation of a winding-up petition under section 124 of the Insolvency Act 1986 activates statutory risks for anyone dealing with the respondent entity. The primary risk arises under section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986: any disposition of the company's property made after the petition presentation date is void if a winding-up order is subsequently made, unless validated by court order.
| Assessment Area | Primary Consideration | Operational Impact |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Banking Facilities | Freezing of accounts upon notice | Commercial banks routinely freeze accounts once made aware of a petition to avoid section 127 liability. |
| Trade Credit | Delivery of goods on open terms | Unsecured trade credit extended post-petition carries high recovery risk if an order is granted. |
| Contracts & Leases | Forfeiture and termination clauses | Solvency clauses may permit contractual counterparts to suspend performance or exercise termination rights. |
| Pending Transactions | Completion of property or asset sales | Dispositions cannot proceed safely without a validation order under section 127. |
Risk assessment framework for credit professionals
When a counterparty appears on the Central Registry, risk teams should execute a staged verification protocol:
1. Verify the court entry: Confirm the case number, court division, and exact corporate identity on CE-File.
2. Check for validation orders: Inquire whether the respondent company has instructed counsel to apply for a section 127 validation order to maintain bank operations.
3. Assess security interests: Review the register of charges to determine whether debenture holders or floating charge holders have taken enforcement steps.
4. Review supply terms: Re-examine retention of title (ROT) clauses, direct debit arrangements, and outstanding receivables.
Hypothetical scenario: managing supply chain exposure
Consider an industrial supplier holding £45,000 in unpaid 30-day invoices for a buyer against whom a petition is filed. If the supplier continues delivery on normal terms without securing cash on delivery, and the court later orders the buyer into compulsory liquidation, any payments received between presentation and the liquidation order could be clawed back by the Official Receiver as void dispositions under section 127. An immediate credit hold, coupled with formal verification, limits this exposure.
For credit teams and suppliers
For credit controllers, corporate lenders, and procurement teams, early visibility of court registry filings prevents severe unhedged losses. Uncovering an unadvertised petition days before it appears in The Gazette provides critical time to halt credit lines, enforce security, or secure retention-of-title assets before court orders freeze operations.

How to investigate further
Investigating the precise status of this petition requires monitoring statutory registries and judicial records:
- Review filed statutory documentation on the company's profile on Companies House.
- Monitor public notices via The Gazette for formal advertisement of a hearing date.
- Track registry filings and corporate changes using free company monitoring.
Where counterparty exposure extends to associated trading entities or parent firms, risk teams regularly conduct a broader winding up search to ensure group-level solvency.
FAQ
What does the presentation of a winding-up petition mean?
It means a petitioner has lodged a formal request with the court under the Insolvency Act 1986 seeking the compulsory liquidation of a company, typically based on an unsatisfied statutory demand or unpaid debt. It is an initial filing, not an order of liquidation.
When is a winding-up petition advertised?
Under the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, a petition cannot be advertised in The Gazette earlier than seven business days after it has been served on the respondent company. Advertisement must take place at least seven business days before the scheduled court hearing.
How does section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986 affect payments?
Section 127 states that if a winding-up order is made, all dispositions of the company's assets made after the presentation date are void unless retrospectively or prospectively validated by the court. Banks generally freeze accounts once aware of a petition to avoid liability under this rule.
How can a business verify if other counterparties have petitions?
Legal and credit risk teams conduct an official winding up petition search directly through court records and registry services to detect filings before public advertisement.
