The sole continuing director of Persian Palace Limited, a licensed restaurant on Uxbridge Road in west London, has given formal notice that he intends to carry on the business under the name Persian Castle Ltd after the company entered administration on 14 May 2026.
Seyed Mohammad Hosseiny Sanaye, of 278 Northfield Avenue, Ealing, filed the notice under Rule 22.4 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016. The London Gazette published it on 22 May 2026.
What the notice means
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 prohibits a director of a company that has entered insolvent liquidation from involvement in another company using the same or a similar name for five years, unless a statutory exception applies. Persian Castle Ltd is sufficiently close to Persian Palace to engage that prohibition.
By giving notice under Rule 22.4, Hosseiny Sanaye is using a permitted route that allows him to continue acting as a director of, or otherwise being involved in, a business trading under a name that would otherwise be barred. The notice must be given to creditors of the insolvent company. Its purpose is to prevent the director from committing a criminal offence or incurring personal liability for the debts of the successor company, provided the conditions of the rule are met.
Persian Palace Limited traded from 143-145 Uxbridge Road, London, W13 9AU, and is registered under SIC code 56102, the Companies House classification for licensed restaurants. The company was incorporated on 9 July 2009, and Hosseiny Sanaye has been its director since that date. Barbara Kahan was also appointed on 9 July 2009 but resigned the same day.
The company's last filed accounts were made up to 30 September 2024 and were prepared as micro-entity accounts.
Secured lender
National Westminster Bank PLC holds an outstanding registered charge over the company, created on 7 October 2014 and delivered to Companies House on 14 October 2014. A secured creditor of this kind ranks ahead of unsecured creditors when assets are distributed in an insolvency.
No administrators are named in the notice, and the bundle contains no court details connected to the administration appointment. The notice itself records no figures for debts, employees or turnover.
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.
