RE: Debt to be settled amicably7 Nov 2023 09:13
I disagree MrY. The fact EUA are disputing it is surely the reason the haven't yet paid it. If it wasn't in dispute then they would have paid the bill.
Regardless, it'll be up to the judge to decide on whether the debt is in dispute for good reason or should just be paid ( and what happens thereafter).
An estimate of 50% doesn't sound sound like an awful guess, but then again, it'll be in the range of Β£0 to Β£100k ish, which should be small fry with regards to a company involved in exploration.
I don't see much benefit of getting the company wound up, just to get your bill paid. Ultimately, in my mind, they want their fees, and this may be a heavy handed way of doing so.
