The High Court of Justice in Manchester has received a petition to wind up Caerus Lifecare Limited, according to a notice published in the London Gazette on 8 June 2026. The case carries the reference CR-2026-MAN-000689.
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 a company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a separate hearing. Caerus Lifecare Limited remains a registered company unless and until any such order is made.
The company
Caerus Lifecare Limited operates in the healthcare sector. The petition was filed under the Insolvency Act 1986. No petitioner is named in the published notice, and no further details of the claim appear in the Gazette filing.
Earlier proceedings
Web records indicate that a separate petition against Caerus Lifecare Limited, listed under reference CR-2025-004963, appeared in the Companies Winding Up Cause List for 12 November 2025. That matter was listed before Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Barber at The Rolls Building. The Manchester petition, CR-2026-MAN-000689, is a distinct proceeding. Available records do not confirm the outcome of the earlier matter.
Background
Companies House filing records for Caerus Lifecare Limited show that the company filed unaudited abridged accounts made up to 30 November 2019, and a confirmation statement dated 31 October 2020. No officer details or secured charges appear in the data associated with the current petition notice.
Creditors and other interested parties can follow developments through Companies House and the London Gazette as further notices are published.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for this company?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. this company 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 this company?
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 this company?
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 this company?
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.
