The Insolvency and Business Recovery team in London would like to draw your attention to a vital service being offered by the firm to insolvency practitioners needing to lodge administration appointment documents at the High Court in London. Sarah Pierre-Powell, a litigation executive within the team, attends daily at the High Court to lodge papers for insolvency practitioners. There is a fixed fee for this service (which is for the filing of documents only, and excludes any advice) as follows:

  • 2.8b Notice of Intention to Appoint - £125 plus VAT and £30 court fee
  • 2.9b Notice of Appointment - £125 plus VAT
  • 2.10 Notice of Appointment - £125 plus VAT and £30 court fee

 

This is a 'same day' service provided that documents are received in good order before 1.00 pm. In emergency situations, papers can still be lodged later in the day but will incur an additional disbursement cost for travel.

 

The team is also able to assist with other work at the High Court including preparing documents for issuing and filing, drafting court forms, preparing bundles and amending documents held at court.

 

If you should require legal advice in connection with your appointment papers, please speak with your usual IBRT contact.

 

If you would like to make use of this service, please contact Tanya Seevaratnam or Sarah Pierre-Powell of Blake Lapthorn's Insolvency and Business Recovery team.
