Manolete Partners plc v Hayward and Barrett Holdings Ltd & Ors [2021] EWHC 1481
Hugo Groves successfully acted for the directors who were facing claims assigned by a liquidator to Manolete . Those claims included pure “office holder” claims under IA 1986 and other claims; the other claims included a s.212 Misfeasance application (albeit Manolete was not an office holder) , and “ordinary” claims (including a s.423 IA claim).
