Sir Philip Green and his wife have offered to pump 100m into Arcadias pension scheme in a desperate bid to win backing for a radical restructuring of their retail empire that will include 23 shop closures and a complete retreat from America.

Arcadias restructuring plans follow weeks of fraught wrangling with landlords and the pensions regulator amid fears that the business which includes Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge, could collapse into administration.

The former billionaire pressed the button on Wednesday of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) that will close 23 of the 566 stores in the UK and Ireland, putting 520 jobs at risk, and slash rents on another 194 shops.

Disclosure requests from insolvency practitioners  not always a rock and a hard place

Requests made by liquidators, administrators and trustees in bankruptcy to professional accountants for information relating to an insolvent company or individual are commonplace. Yet despite existing ICAEW and ACCA guidance, there remains a lack of understanding around the extent of the accountants obligations in this context.

What is the position?

Upon a request by a liquidator, administrator or administrative receiver, professional accountants must hand over any property, books and records in their control or possession to which the insolvent company itself is entitled. A lien cannot be exercised.

Topshop tycoon Sir Philip Green plans to close 23 stores, putting 520 jobs under threat, as part of a rescue plan.

Under the proposal, Burton, Dorothy Perkins and Topshop stores will close and rents will be cut at another 194 stores at the Arcadia group.

It is another blow to the tycoon, who this month lost his Sunday Times Rich List billionaire status.

Ian Grabiner, chief executive of Arcadia Group, called the steps “tough but necessary” to mend the business.

The company also plans to shut all its 11 Topshop and Topman stores in the US.

(Reuters) – The collapse of British Steel has once again put private equity owner Greybull Capital in the spotlight for the wrong reasons.

Run out of London by Frenchman Marc Meyohas using family money, Greybull is well known for buying up companies in distress on the cheap with the aim of turning them around.

But Greybulls record since it launched in April 2010 has been patchy, with four of the 10 companies it bought later declared insolvent or placed into administration.

Greybulls website says it is passionate about making companies successful, yet British Steel is the second time in two years an investment has soured at the likely cost of thousands of UK jobs and a hefty bill for the British taxpayer.

In 2017, another Greybull company…

The process seeks to cover debtors with annual income less than Rs 60,000, debt less than Rs 35,000, assets less than Rs 20,000 with no dwelling unit. The process can only be initiated by the debtor before the debt recovery tribunal through a resolution professional. If the tribunal passes an order of discharge of debt, the creditor will have to write it off, subject to an entry in the credit history of the individual.

The target group is the extremely vulnerable population that has no hope in hell of repaying the debt in some sense, its like a debt waiver, Renuka Sane, associate professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, told BloombergQuint. Sane is party of the IBBI working group on personal insolvency.

LONDON (Reuters) – British Steel, the countrys second largest steel producer, has collapsed and put 25,000 jobs at risk after failing to secure emergency government funding, Britains Official Receiver said on Wednesday.

The High Court ordered the compulsory liquidation of the company, although staff will remain employed for now as the liquidator oversees the operation of the main site in Scunthorpe, northern England.

Business Minister Greg Clark said British Steel was open to new buyers, while the opposition Labour Party called on the government to bring it back into public ownership.

Owned by investment firm Greybull Capital, British Steel employs around 5,000 people, mostly in Scunthorpe, while 20,000 more depend on its supply chain.
