The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 introduced, on a temporary footing, substantial restrictions on a creditor’s ability to pursue a winding-up order against a company. For guidance on the position prior to 1 October 2021, see Practice Note: Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020—temporary changes to corporate statutory demands and winding-up petitions [Archived]. For the regime applying from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022 (which included a higher threshold for petition debts and required a creditor to give 21 days’ notice of an intention to present a winding-up petition), see Practice Note: Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2022—winding-up petitions from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022 [Archived].

What are the practical implications of this case? This first‑instance ruling confirms that the safeguarding obligations under the EMRs 2011, SI 2011/99 do not establish a statutory trust. It mirrors the Court of Appeal’s determination that the PSRs 2017, SI 2017/752 similarly do not give rise to a statutory trust. The outcome is practically significant for insolvency practitioners: they can proceed on the footing that merchant monies received by firms regulated under either regime fall within the general asset pool, albeit subject to the relevant safeguarding requirements in the regulations. In addition, the judgment provides pragmatic procedural pointers for scenarios where practitioners are unable to remit client monies—for instance, where the merchant cannot be identified or fails to supply banking particulars—thereby suggesting steps that may properly be taken to address such impasses while maintaining compliance with the safeguarding framework...

The court declined permission for changes that were predominantly historic and bore no direct bearing on the defendants’ position. By contrast, it allowed re‑amendments with a genuine prospect of success, on condition that the defendants reformulated them as a crisp, self‑contained summary of the specific allegation. The court also emphasised that sweeping cross‑references to documents are unsuitable where concise particulars are required. Although the application was late, it was not treated as very late (i.e. one that would jeopardise the trial timetable), since, with appropriate case...

The Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA 2017) marks arguably the most far-reaching statutory shift in scope and effect for UK higher education since 2004. Under HERA 2017, Pt 1, a fresh regulator for higher education (HE) in England, the Office for Students (OfS), is created, alongside arrangements for a new register of providers across the system. Further particulars on the OfS’s constitution and functioning are set out in HERA 2017, Sch 1. HERA 2017, Pt 2 addresses additional education matters, such as student finance, complaints, and the deregulation of HE corporations in England. HERA 2017, Pt 3 deals with research, forming UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and defining the research and innovation roles of the councils. Expanded legislative detail is provided in HERA 2017, Sch 9. HERA 2017, Pt 4 attends to general provisions, including co-operation and information sharing between the OfS and UKRI, transitional steps, and pre-commencement consultation. Establishment of the OfS The OfS is a statutory corporate body created by statute. It is not...

The framework of the people with significant control (PSC) regime Introduced on 6 April 2016, the people with significant control (PSC) regime is grounded in Part 21A of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), as updated by sections 81–83 and Schedule 3 of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (SBEEA 2015), and by sections 44, 51 and Schedule 2 of the Economic Crime and Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA 2023). It was devised to curb opacity in corporate ownership, where records often noted only the legal, not the beneficial, holder of shares. The PSC register provides accurate, up-to-date details on who ultimately owns or controls companies and other entities, and this information is publicly accessible on the central registry at Companies House. It informs investors weighing an investment and assists law enforcement during money laundering enquiries. Data on the UK PSC regime is available as a downloadable snapshot containing the full list of PSCs supplied to Companies House. ECCTA 2023 also amends CA 2006 to abolish the requirement...
