Zelouf v Khanna & Anor [2016] EWHC 205 (Ch) (23 February 2016)

Zelouf v Khanna & Anor [2016] EWHC 205 (Ch) (23 February 2016)

The District Judge correctly limited the amendment to a challenge under section 262 of the Insolvency Act 1986, as this was the only arguable legal basis advanced and reflected the procedural history and parties' submissions. The costs and debarring orders were reasonable exercises of discretion and not open to appellate interference.
