Shuffle Finance Ltd presented a winding-up petition against Caspertron Ltd, a Manchester-registered restaurant and café operator, on 24 April 2026. The petition is listed for hearing at Manchester Civil Justice Centre on 23 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to place a company into compulsory liquidation. Filing the petition does not mean the company has been wound up; the court must first make a winding-up order at a separate hearing before any such outcome follows.
The petition
The petition was filed in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division of the High Court that handles insolvency and company-law applications, sitting as the Business and Property Courts in Manchester under court number CR-2026-MAN-000648. Shuffle Finance Ltd, registered at 27 Old Gloucester Street, London, claims to be a creditor of Caspertron Ltd.
The hearing is scheduled for 10:00 on Tuesday 23 June 2026, or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard, at 1 Bridge Street West, Manchester. Any party wishing to appear, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice by 16:00 on Monday 22 June 2026 under rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.
The petitioner's solicitor is Richard Harris of DTM Legal LLP, Suite C, 3rd Floor, No.4 St. Paul's Square, Liverpool.

Caspertron Ltd is registered at 53 Store Street, Manchester, M1 2WD, and operates under SIC code 56101, covering licensed restaurants and cafés. The company was incorporated on 4 March 2025 and its accounts are not due until December 2026.

Secured charge
Tokyo Industries (Ultimate) Limited holds an outstanding registered charge over Caspertron Ltd, created on 28 March 2025 and delivered to Companies House on 4 April 2025. The charge covers all present and future freehold, leasehold or commonhold property interests held by the company, together with intellectual property rights including patents, trademarks, domain names, goodwill and related rights.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Caspertron Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Caspertron 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 Caspertron 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 Caspertron 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 Caspertron 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.
