Winding up petition adjournments normally happen in circumstances where a repayment plan has been put in place but the debt e.g. to HMRC has not been paid in full by the time of the first hearing of the winding up petition.
- in these circumstances, HMRC always ask for an adjournment of the winding up petition i.e. a further extension of it often for a period of at least 6 weeks.
- the reason for this is that HMRC want to continue with the winding up petition being in place so that if the debtor company then fails to make another payment, it will then proceed with winding up the company.
