“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and accounts.”
Significant events
- “In October 2024, the Court of Appeal gave judgment in the cases of Hopcraft, Wrench and Johnson with wide-ranging implications for the legality of historical motor finance commissions which go beyond the regulatory requirements applied by the FCA, and generally understood by market participants, at the time. These cases are currently being appealed in the Supreme Court.”
