A London-registered property company incorporated in February 2025 is already facing a winding-up petition in the High Court, filed under case number CR-2026-003437 less than 15 months after it was formed.
Clear Summer May Limited, whose registered office is at 45 Albemarle Street, London W1S 4JL, carries out buying and selling of own real estate under SIC code 68100. The petition was filed in the High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), with the notice published on 22 May 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not put a company into liquidation -- the court must first make the order at a hearing. Clear Summer May Limited remains active on the Companies House register.
The directors
The two directors of Clear Summer May Limited, both appointed on the date of incorporation, 13 February 2025, are Abishake KC and Vijay Dattu Mhaisdhune, both resident in England. No officers have resigned since incorporation.
Secured charges
Two outstanding registered charges are held over the company by Bath and West Finance 5 Limited, a secured creditor whose debt is backed by a charge over the company's assets. Both charges were created on 3 June 2025 and delivered to Companies House on 10 June 2025.
Each charge is secured against the same leasehold property: Flat 1, Sutherland House, Marloes Road, London W8 5LG, registered at HM Land Registry with title number NGL620491. The property is in Kensington, and the charges were registered only months after the company itself was formed.
As a secured creditor, Bath and West Finance 5 Limited ranks ahead of any unsecured creditors should the court make a winding-up order and the company's assets are realised.
What happens next
The petition will be listed for a hearing before the Insolvency and Companies List. If the court makes a winding-up order, Clear Summer May Limited would enter compulsory liquidation -- a court-imposed process, distinct from a creditors' voluntary liquidation resolved by a company's own members. The Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, would typically take office as liquidator in the first instance.
The company's first accounts are not due at Companies House until 13 November 2026.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Clear Summer May Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Clear Summer May 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 Clear Summer May 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 Clear Summer May 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 Clear Summer May 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.
