Company
Re Bright Future Software Ltd (Registered No. 07983222)
The claimant company’s claim against the defendant company director (E), in proceedings arising from the liquidation of the company, succeeded only in part. The Chancery Division held that, among other things, E was not liable for wrongful trading contrary to s 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986, nor had he committed a breach of duty. However, the claimant’s claim for £188,769 wrongly retained by the defendant succeeded.
Coroner
Re inquest into the death of Renee Rushbrooke [2020] EWHC 1612 (Admin), [2020] All ER (D) 154 (Jun)
It was clearly necessary and desirable in the interests of justice that a fresh inquest and investigation into the death of the claimant’s mother should take place, as there was a real possibility that it might give rise to an alternative outcome. Accordingly, the Divisional Court made an order, under s 13 of the Coroners Act 1988, quashing the determination of death by natural causes made at the inquest, and ordered a fresh investigation and inquest.
