Information for general guidance, drawn from the public record. Not legal, financial, or insolvency advice. If you are affected by an insolvency, consult a licensed practitioner or qualified solicitor.
A prohibited-name notice connected to Elliot's Camberwell Ltd was published in the London Gazette on 5 June 2026, with the company address recorded as 12 Stoney Street, London, SE1 9AD.
What a Section 216 notice means
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 prohibits a director of a company that has entered liquidation from being involved in another company using the same or a similar name for five years, unless one of the statutory exceptions applies. Filing a notice of this kind signals an intention to rely on one of those exceptions, allowing a director to continue trading under a connected name without breaching the restriction.
The notice was filed under the Gazette category covering the re-use of a prohibited name. It is one of the more procedural filings in UK insolvency practice, but it carries real legal weight for any director seeking to operate under a name linked to a failed company.
The company
Elliot's Camberwell Ltd is registered at 12 Stoney Street, London, SE1 9AD. The available record contains no further details about the company's trading history, its officers, or the identity of the liquidated company whose name is connected to this notice.
The Gazette notice itself contains no information about secured charges, appointed insolvency practitioners, or court involvement, and no additional context about Elliot's Camberwell Ltd or its trading activity is available from published sources.
What happens next
A Section 216 notice does not place a company into any formal insolvency process. It is a compliance filing. The director or directors involved must still satisfy the relevant statutory exception under the Insolvency Act 1986 to avoid criminal liability for trading under a prohibited name. Creditors and suppliers connected to any associated insolvent company should check the Companies House record for the full picture of any linked entities.
Common questions
Are you a director of the successor company?
A prohibited-name Gazette notice typically documents one of the three statutory exceptions to Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (the rule against re-use of a similar name by a former director of a liquidated company). The exception is only valid if the notice meets the timing and content requirements in the relevant Rule. Read more on prohibited names.
Do you trade with the successor company?
A valid notice does not by itself revive the liabilities of the liquidated company. The successor company is a separate legal entity and the directors are personally exposed only if Section 216 is breached.
