H&J is pleased to have retained its Band 2 ranking in Chambers & Partners 2023 for insolvency litigation funding. We are also delighted that Philip Henderson has been recognised as a leading individual.

H&J has entered into a partnership with Reading Rep Theatre to be one of two founding corporate sponsors. On 31 October 2023 launched its corporate partnership scheme with H&J in attendance alongside Reading Rep's other founding corporate partner, Ernst & Young. The launch night was also attended by the charity's royal patron, HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex.

H&J and Radcliffe Chambers sponsored the Harrison Clark Rickerbys 2022 Insolvency Conference that took place on 14 October 2022 at the Museum of London.

The Court of Appeal today handed down judgment in John Doyle Construction v Erith Contractors regarding the enforcement of adjudication decisions by insolvent companies.  The Court of Appeal seems to disagree with the Supreme Court's decision in Bresco v Lonsdale and its decision will create significant uncertainty for insolvent claimants in the construction industry. Please see below some of our thoughts on the judgment.

Judgment has today been handed down in Re BetIndex Limited regarding the distribution to customers of funds held in a trust by BetIndex Limited t/a Football Index. Please see our summary of the key findings and a link to the full judgment.

H&J Director Services 1 Limited has been appointed by the Court to represent those customers of BetIndex Limited t/a Football Index with an interest in arguing that the “Relevant Date” (in relation to the distribution of certain monies held on trust for customers) should be a date after 26 March 2021. This matter has been listed for a one day hearing on Friday 21 May 2021. While we are still working with counsel to formulate our position (and the arguments in support of that position), our current intention is to propose at least two potential ‘Relevant Dates’ as set out in this statement.

By an order of the Court dated 11 May 2021, H&J Director Services 1 Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Henderson & Jones Limited) has been appointed as a representative of certain customers of BetIndex Limited t/a Football Index.
