The High Court of Justice has received a winding-up petition against Arthur Anthony Interiors Limited. The case carries reference CR-2026-003373 and the petition was published in the London Gazette on 4 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking a judge to place a company into compulsory liquidation, the process by which a court orders a company to be wound up and its assets realised for creditors. Filing a petition does not put the company into liquidation; the court must first make a winding-up order at a hearing.
The petition
The petition was brought under the Insolvency Act 1986 and lodged in the Insolvency and Companies List of the High Court, the specialist list within the Chancery Division that handles insolvency and company-law applications. The company trades as Arthur Anthony Interiors Limited.
The published notice contains no details about the petitioner, the amount claimed, or any hearing date. There are no officer records, no registered charges, and no secured lenders for this company in the bundle at the time of publication.
What happens next
Once a winding-up petition is filed, the court schedules a hearing at which the company can oppose the petition or the petitioner can seek a winding-up order. If the court grants the order, the Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, automatically takes office as liquidator. Creditors can subsequently nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner to replace the Official Receiver if they choose to do so.
Any creditor or contributor wishing to support or oppose the petition should seek legal advice promptly. The London Gazette notice and the Companies House record for Arthur Anthony Interiors Limited contain the formal details of the case.
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.
