On 12 March 2026 the above company went into insolvent liquidation.
I, David Barham of 4 Whitehouse Chase, Rayleigh, Essex SS6 7JS was a director of the above
insolvent company in the 12 months preceding the date upon which it went into liquidation.
Pursuant to Rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, I give notice that it is
my intention to act in one or more ways specified in section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986
in connection with, or for the purpose of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the
whole of the business of the insolvent company under the name DBF&I Limited t/a “David
Barham Furniture”.
Section 216(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 lists the activities that a director of a company that
has gone into insolvent liquidation may not undertake unless the court gives permission or
there is an exception in the Insolvency Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986. (This
includes the exceptions in Part 22 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016). These
activities are -
(a) acting as a director of another company that is known by a name which is either the same
as a name used by the company in insolvent liquidation in the 12 months before it entered
liquidation or is so similar as to suggest an association with that company;
(b) directly or
indirectly being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of any
such company; or
(c) directly or indirectly being concerned in the carrying on of a business
otherwise than through a company under a name of the kind mentioned in (a) above.
This notice is given in pursuance of Rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016
where the business of a company which is in, or may go into, insolvent liquidation is, or is to
be, carried on otherwise than by the company in liquidation with the involvement of a director
of that company and under the same or a similar name to that of that company.
The purpose
of the giving of this notice is to permit the director to act in these circumstances where the
company enters (or has entered) insolvent liquidation without the director committing a
criminal offence and in the case of the carrying on of the business through another company, being personally liable for that company’s debts.
Notice may be given where the person giving
the notice is already the director of a company which proposes to adopt a prohibited name.
