On 24 August 2026 the above-named Company went into insolvent liquidation.
I, John James Patrick Prendergast-Walsh was a director of the above-named Company
during the 12 months ending with the day before it went into liquidation.
I give notice that it is my 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: .
Britannia Recliner Centre Ltd
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.”
