Cartwright and another v Registrar of Companies: [2012] EWCA Civ 1159;   [2012] WLR (D)  255

“The date on which the administration of a company was converted into a creditors’ voluntary liquidation was the date on which the registrar of companies registered the conversion notice on the company’s file at Companies House, not the date the registrar received the notice sent by the administrators, on the true construction of paragraph 83 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 as inserted. The administrators’ term of office was in general automatically extended if a conversion notice under paragraph 83 was duly filed.”

Cartwright and another v Registrar of Companies: [2012] EWHC 359 (Ch);  [2012] WLR (D)  48

“Where a company’s administrators sent notice to the registrar of companies to place the company into voluntary liquidation, and the notice was sent and received by the registrar before the termination of the administration, but the administrative steps to bring about that registration occurred after the end of administration, paragraph 83(4) of Schedule 1B to the Insolvency Act 1986 should be interpreted as requiring registration with effect from the day of receipt. The phrases in paragraph 83(6) ‘on the registration of a notice’ and ‘on the day on which the notice is registered’ were treated as references to the effective date of registration, ie the date of receipt of the notice.”
