Re BW Estates Ltd [2016] EWHC 2156 (Ch), [2016] All ER (D) 188 (Jul)

The Chancery Division dismissed the applicant judgment creditors’ challenge to an order that the administrators of a company should convene a meeting of creditors and present revised proposals to bring the administration to an end and pass control back to the directors. The court held that a purported board meeting of the company directors had been valid, and hence the appointment of administrators at the meeting had been carried out correctly.
