Status of Company owning Science, People & Politics (ISSN:1751-598X)
The publisher of Science, People & Politics (ISSN:1751-598X), Helen Gavaghan, trading sometimes as Gavaghan
Communications, would like to thank the Company
Secretary of Science, People and Politics Ltd. for his willingness to dissolve the company if asked to do so by the
publisher.
The Company Secretary
has no moral or legal
obligation to abide by the
publisher's wishes, but has
said he is willing to do
so if the request is made
and reasoning
for the request is given
to him. The deputy editor
of the title - Fred Pearce -
knows of the Company
Secretary's willingness to
dissolve the company if
the publisher of the title,
Helen Gavaghan, owned
by the company asks
him to do so.
The Company is dormant
and non trading, but active.
It has no bank account and
has not traded.
I, the publisher, have no
knowledge of whether the
Company Secretary has
yet filed the Company's first
DCA, nor do I know
whether or when he
might intend to do so.
GavaghanCommunications
transferred ownership of
the title in good faith to
the Company prior to Helen
Gavaghan, trading sometimes
as GavaghanCommunications,
submitting a debtor's petition
for bankruptcy to Halifax
County Court in West Yorkshire
on 8th November, 2006. The Court made a Banruptcy
Order on the same day against
Helen Gavaghan, trading
sometimes as
GavaghanCommunications.
Please explore the site and
press releases for background
to this situation. The site in
the view of the Official Receiver
in his last communication
on the subject has no value
and the Insolvency Examiner
dealing with the affairs
of Helen Gavaghan in
bankruptcy has said that the
site may not be given by
the publisher, Helen Gavaghan,
who uses the site as a means of
business communication,
to the Company.
As for receipt of the title:
the Company was not asked
its view. The action was taken
by the then sole director,
Helen Gavaghan,
on behalf of the publisher
--- Helen Gavaghan.
As of today the majority
shareholding in this company
is held as part of her personal
estate by the Official Receiver.
