Seymour Valentine Limited (“SVL”) entered administration on 28 August 2018. I, Cevat Riza, of 4 Bermondsey Trading Estate, Rotherhithe New Road, London, SE16 3LL was a director of SVL on that date.

I give notice that I am acting and intend to continue to act in one or more of the ways to which sections 216 (3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 would apply (“the Activities”) if SVL were to go into insolvent liquidation, in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the whole of the business of SVL, under the following names: Seymour Valentine Café Limited, Seymour Valentine Café and Seymour Valentine.

As a director of SVL, I would not otherwise be permitted to undertake the Activities without the leave of the court or the application of an exception created by Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986. A breach of the prohibition created by section 216 Insolvency Act 1986 is a criminal offence.

Please note the statements below which sets out the effect of this notice.

Statement as to the effect of the notice

Section 216 (3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 lists the activities that a director of a company that has gone into insolvent liquidation may not undertake unless the court gives permission or there is an exception in the Insolvency Rules made under the Insolvency Act 1986. (This includes the exceptions in Part 22 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016). These activities are-

a) acting as a director of another company that is known by a name which is either the same as a name used by the company in insolvent liquidation in the 12 months before it entered liquidation or is so similar as to suggest an association with that company;

b) directly or indirectly being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of any such company; or

c) directly or indirectly being concerned in the carrying on of a business otherwise than through a company under a name of the kind mentioned in (a) above.

This notice is given under rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 206 where the business of a company which is in, or may go into, insolvent liquidation, or is to be, carried on otherwise than by the company in liquidation with the involvement of a director of that company and under the same or similar name to that of that company.

The purpose of giving this notice is to permit the director to act in these circumstances where the company enters (or has entered) insolvent liquidation without the director committing a criminal offence and in the case of the carrying on of the business through another company, being personally liable for that company’s debts.

Notice may be given where the person giving the notice is already the director of a company which proposes to adopt a prohibited name.
