HM Revenue and Customs filed a winding-up petition against Nebula Films Ltd, a film production company registered at Greenham Business Park in Newbury, Berkshire, on 22 April 2026. The High Court hearing is listed for 10 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first make that order at a hearing. HMRC is the petitioner, claiming to be a creditor of the company.
The hearing
The petition carries case number CR-2026-003131 in the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division). It will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice, 7 Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London at 10.30 on 10 June 2026, or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard.
Anyone wishing to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner's solicitor by 16.00 on 9 June 2026. The petitioner's solicitor is the General Counsel and Solicitor to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, at 14 Westfield Avenue, Stratford, London.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Nebula Films Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Nebula Films Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Nebula Films Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Nebula Films Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Nebula Films Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
