Under the Chairmanship of His Honour Judge Cawson KC, the Manchester Business and Property Courts Forum is delighted to welcome the Chancellor of the High Court, Sir Julian Flaux and Giles Maynard-Connor KC of Exchange Chambers, to speak on recent and topical issues of insolvency.
The Chancellor will speak on restructuring plans under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006, in
particular following the decision of the Court of Appeal to confirm the plans proposed by Thames Water Utilities Holdings Limited and supported by its Class A creditors, which had been previously approved by the High Court (Kingston SARL v Thames Water Utilities Holdings Ltd [2025] EWCA Civ 475).
Giles Maynard-Connor KC will discuss the recent decisions in Wright v Chappell [2024] EWHC 1417 (Ch) and [2024] EWHC 2166 (Ch), and their significance in terms of the creditor duty and the basis on which compensation for a breach of that duty should be assessed.
This event is in-person only, being held at TLT Solicitors, Eden Building, Irwell Street, Salford, Manchester M3 5EN. The event will start at 5:30pm with pre-event drinks from 5pm.
