MBS Recovery Ltd v Quinney [2025] EWHC 546 (Ch)
This was an appeal before the Chancery Division against an order setting aside two statutory demands issued by the appellant in relation to proceedings between the parties before the Business and Property Courts. The court dismissed the appeal, finding that ICC Judge Burton was correct to set aside the statutory demands as they did not relate to a certain and ascertained sum of money and were insufficiently clear. The court found that the judge was exercising her insolvency jurisdiction under the Insolvency Act 1986 and Insolvency Rules 2016, not her case management powers under the Civil Procedure Rules.
