London Bridging Ltd (In Administration), Re [2026] EWHC 1053 (Ch) (06 March 2026)
The High Court appointed provisional liquidators over Twinwin Limited after finding the applicants had an arguable creditor claim and an urgent risk of asset dissipation.
The court found Mr Summers and Mr Fletcher breached their duties to Guy Carpenter to a limited extent, and Ms Clarke/Willis Re induced and dishonestly assisted most of those breaches. However, most resignations would have occurred lawfully regardless, and the unlawful conduct did not confer a continuing springboard advantage. No ongoing injunctive relief was justified; the period for any springboard relief had expired. The claims for wider injunctive relief, including client and recruitment injunctions, were refused. The question of loss and damages was reserved for later determination.
