Decolace Properties Ltd (Appellant) v Antony Nygate & Shane Crooks (as Joint Liquidators) and another (Respondents)
Wednesday 24 June 2026
By Appellant’s Notice submitted on 28 August 2025, the Appellant appeals decisions of the High Court dated 19 June 2025 and 7 August 2025 dismissing applications and making a costs order.
After a three‑day trial in June 2025, the court considered Decolace’s application to vary or set aside Land Registry restrictions and freezing orders over properties. Decolace failed to comply with directions on evidence and disclosure, and its late application for relief from sanctions was refused.
The court allowed the claimants to amend their defence and dismissed Decolace’s relief application. Decolace was later permitted to withdraw its main application but barred from bringing similar claims without permission. It was ordered to pay indemnity costs, including £108,000 on account and additional sums for related applications.
