"My investigations have not revealed any issues requiring further report or any further potential recoveries which could be pursued for the benefit of creditors." It added: “Overall, we can confirm that the realisations in the liquidation are insufficient to declare a dividend to the unsecured creditors after defraying the expenses of the proceedings.
"Pursuant to Rule 14.37 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, we therefore give notice that there will be no ordinary unsecured dividend in the Liquidation.”
