ADS Securities LLC (Respondent/Claimant) v Windhorst (Appellant/Defendant)
Tuesday 02 June 2026
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 20 April 2026 the Appellant appeals a decision of the High Court delivered on 30 March 2026.
APS Securities obtained a court order in December 2022 against Tennor Holding B.V. To enforce it, the court required details of Tennor’s finances and ordered the Appellant, closely connected to the company. to attend court, answer questions, and provide documents. He also formally undertook to comply.
The Appellant failed to attend a required examination hearing. ADS Securities therefore brought contempt (committal) proceedings against him.
At a hearing on 30 March 2026, the court found that his non-attendance was a deliberate breach of both the court order and his undertaking. He was held in contempt and sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment, but the sentence was suspended for seven months on conditions. If he fails to comply, the prison sentence may be activated. He was also ordered to pay £160,000.
