    Court
    High Court

    The Court refused to approve the insolvency proposals because the trustee failed to give adequate notice under s330(1) of the Insolvency Act 2006 (time/place and materially changed creditor list given only one day before the reconvened meeting), causing real prejudice to a significant creditor (Carters), and the Court properly exercised its discretion under s333(3) to refuse approval; the late addition of a related‑party creditor and substantial contingent claims reinforced that decision.
