The U.K. Pensions Regulator and Pension Protection Fund Trustee appealed an order finding that their service of a Warning Notice breached the stay provisions in the Initial Order under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, agreeing that the service of the Notice was a nullity.
The Court clarified that the order below does not preclude the appellants from seeking to assert a claim in the CCAA process for pension contribution shortfalls.
