The most recent insolvency notice for Shoulder and Elbow Clinic (wales) Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 14 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by ST JOSEPH'S INDEPENDENT HOSPITAL LIMITED. The case is before the High Court of Justice, Business and Property Courts (case CR-2024-BRS-000097). The petition is listed to be heard on Tuesday 22 December 2026 at 11:45am. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 May 2025, showed total assets of £2k and net assets of -£222k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 16 months before its first insolvency notice. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.
The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.
