Caparo Engineering Limited - in Liquidation

Decision procedure for proposed increase in Liquidators' fees and recharges

We are requesting the approval of creditors to an uplift in the amount of the joint liquidators' fees and to pay a proportion of the costs incurred by another group company, Caparo Industries Plc (in administration), in pursuing investigations for the benefit of both itself and the Company.

We are seeking this approval by means of a decision by correspondence of all the creditors of the Company. We set out the  reasons for these requests in the attached document "Request to revise initial fees estimate: information for creditors".

We also attach a formal notice of the decision procedure, which includes a voting form. Creditors who wish to take part in the decision by correspondence should complete the voting form and return it to the liquidators either by post or email to the addresses given in the notice by 23.59 on Monday 31 October 2022.

Notification to Creditors

On 26 October 2018 the administration ended and the Company moved to creditors' voluntary liquidation with Anthony Steven Barrell and David Matthew Hammond being appointed as Joint Liquidators.  

The Joint Administrators were discharged from liability in respect of any of their actions as administrators with effect from 9 November 2018.

Anthony Steven Barrell has since left the firm.  An application was made to the Court to remove him as liquidator of the Company. The application was granted and so Anthony Steven Barrell was removed and Toby Scott Underwood was appointed as joint liquidator with effect from 10 May 2019.
