On 19 December 2024 the above-named company went into insolvent liquidation.
We, Michael Adam John Church, of 16 Woodrow Court, Miami Close, Great Sankey, Warrington, WA5
8DG, and Louise Victoria Church, of 16 Woodrow Court, Miami Close, Great Sankey, Warrington, WA5
8DG, were each a director of the above-named company during the 12 months ending with the day before
it went into liquidation.
We each give notice that it is our intention to act in all or any of the ways specified in section 216(3) of the
Insolvency Act 1986 in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or
substantially the whole of the business of the insolvent company under the following name:
Church Equestrian
The business is to be carried on by MLC Fixings Ltd (company number 16038504), trading as Church
Equestrian.
We would not otherwise be permitted to undertake those activities without the leave of the court or the
application of an exception created by Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986.
A breach of the prohibition created by section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 is a criminal offence.
Rule 22.5 - Statement as to the effect of the notice under rule 22.4(2):
"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 under 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 giving 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."
1. This notice must be given to every creditor of the insolvent company whose name and address is known or is
ascertainable on the making of such enquiries as are reasonable in the circumstances.
2. This notice must be published in the London Gazette.
3. The notice to creditors and the London Gazette must be given and published no later than 28 days after
completion of the acquisition of the whole (or substantially the whole) of the business of the insolvent
company under arrangements made by the liquidator or office holder acting as administrator, administrative
receiver or supervisor of a CVA
