Nicola Sharp of Rahman Ravelli outlines a recent judgement that allowed a dissolved company to seek an order.

The judgement in the case of Yuzu Hair and Beauty Ltd (Dissolved) v Selvathiraviam [2019] is the first time that the High Court in England has given permission for a company that has been dissolved to apply for a freezing order.

The dissolved company applied for the continuation of a freezing order against its accountant. It had alleged that fraudulent activity by the accountant had led to the company being struck off the register at Companies House.
