This notice is made in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 (“IR16”) and Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the “Act”). References in this notice to rules and sections are, unless expressly provided otherwise, respectively references to rules of IR16 and to Sections of the Act.

1. On 29 September 2022, Chaos Fashion Limited, whose registered office is situated at Charles House 5-11 Regent Street, Ground Floor, London, England, SW1Y 4LR (the “Company”) entered insolvent liquidation.

2. We, Charlotte Newson of Flat 7, 8, Francis Street, London, SW1P 1QN and Catherine Lyall of 604 Ink Court, 419 Wick Lane, London, E3 2PX were directors of the Insolvent Company on the day it entered liquidation.

3. We give notice that it is our intention to act in all or any of the ways specified in Section 216(3) of the Act in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the whole of the business of the Insolvent Company under the following prohibited names: CHAOS CLUB LIMITED (Company number: 09793278)

4. We would not otherwise be permitted to act in all or any of the ways specified in Section 216(3) of the Act in connection with, or for the purposes of, the carrying on of the whole or substantially the whole of the business of the Company under the prohibited names without leave of the court or the application of an exception created by IR16.

5. A breach of the prohibition created by Section 216 of the Act is a criminal offence.

6. Section 216(3) of the Act 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 under the Act (this includes the exceptions in Part 22 IR16). 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. 7. Section 216(3) of the Act 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 IR16 (This includes the exceptions in Part 22 IR16). 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.

8. This notice is given under Rule 22.4 IR16 where the business of a company which is in, or may go into, insolvency liquidation is, 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 a similar name to that of that company.

9. The purpose of giving this notice is to permit the directors of the Insolvent Company named in point 2. above to act in these circumstances where the company enters (or has entered) insolvent liquidation without the directors committing a criminal offence and in 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 persons giving the notice are already directors of a company which proposes to adopt a prohibited name.
