As detailed in the Administrators' Progress Reports for the period 14 July 2016 to 13 January 2017, the Joint Administrators intend to apply to the English Court seeking an order requiring creditors who consider that they have a claim against any of the Companies that ranks as an administration expense (i.e. relates to the period after 14 January 2009) as a matter of English law to submit a written demand setting out that claim before a bar date.
The Joint Administrators are in the process of finalising the application, the order sought and the evidence in support of the application. The hearing of the application is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 6 June 2017 at the Rolls Building, London.
The Joint Administrators will submit evidence to the Court in respect of this hearing. When submitted, this evidence along with the application and the order sought will be made available on the website, save for any material which the Joint Administrators are applying to the Court to retain as confidential.
The Joint Administrators will provide a further update in due course.
