Why the client needed our help
Our client sought our assistance, with a hearing the following day, in relation to an application issued against him pursuant to section 236 of the Insolvency Act 1986.
How we helped
We were instructed less than 24 hours before the hearing. We reviewed the matter and advised our client on the steps that could be taken in the limited amount of time provided. We assisted with drafting, filing and serving evidence in response to the application, corresponding with the other side’s solicitors, instructing counsel and preparing a statement of costs for the hearing.
The outcome
At the hearing, the application against our client was dismissed with no order as to costs.
FWJ were very hands-on, getting involved from an early stage in seeking to avert an expensive set of litigation proceedings. I am more than happy to recommend their services, particularly when it comes to considering complicated issues or complex proceedings.
