Please join us at 4pm on Wednesday 11 February for our first Insolvency Brew of 2026.
In Webb & Hussain v Eversholt Rail Ltd & Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, the High Court reminded officeholders that the provisions of ss 235 and 236 of the Insolvency Act 1986 do not provide them with a magic wand to allow them to obtain whatever information they want without more. Rejecting a bid for wide-ranging disclosure, the Court emphasised the centrality of “reasonable requirement” and the limits this imposes on reconstituting corporate knowledge.
In this Brew, our first of 2026, Alaric Watson, Aileen McErlean and Lauren Godfrey consider the practical implications of this decision for insolvency practitioners and those that advise them, particularly where the information is held by third parties.
