The High Court of Justice Business and Property Courts in England and Wales has received a winding-up petition against A.D.A Services Ltd, filed under case number CR-2026-003678 on 8 June 2026.
The petition was lodged in the Insolvency and Companies List (ChD), the specialist list within the Chancery Division that handles insolvency and company-law applications. A winding-up petition asks the court to make a winding-up order; the filing itself does not place the company into liquidation. The court must first make that order at a hearing.
What a petition means
If the court grants the petition and issues a winding-up order, A.D.A Services Ltd would enter compulsory liquidation, a court-imposed process distinct from a creditors' voluntary liquidation resolved by the company's own members. On a winding-up order, the Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service, would automatically take office as liquidator to realise the company's assets and distribute proceeds to creditors.
Until the court rules, the petition remains a filing. Companies served with a petition sometimes apply to have it dismissed, pay the petitioning creditor in full, or reach a settlement before any hearing takes place.
The notice
The petition notice was published in the London Gazette on 8 June 2026. The Gazette notice identifies the case as CR-2026-003678 in the matter of A.D.A Services Ltd. No further details about the petitioner, the debt alleged, or any hearing date appear in the published notice.
No secured charges are registered against A.D.A Services Ltd in the bundle, and no officer details are recorded in the available data. No administrators have been appointed; this is a petition stage only.
Creditors or other parties with an interest in the petition outcome can search the Companies House register for the company's filing history and check the Insolvency and Companies List for any listed hearing date.
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.
