Court

Insolvency & Companies Court (High Court)

Case Number

CR-2024-000527

Defendant

Mastermind Group Ltd (In Liquidation)

Next Step

Rescission Application / Public Examination Stay

Notes

Public Examination transferred to CLCC (Ultra Vires). Needs restoration to ICC.

Grounds (19)

G-A1

MHCM Statutory Nullity

10 orders made during the Mental Health Crisis Moratorium (28 Dec 2024 to 16 Apr 2025) are void ab initio under Regulation 7(12) DSRR 2020. Each order is void not merely because of when it was made but because of what it contains and what it does. The DDJ Wood order (6 January 2025, MHCM Day 9) fraudulently inserted costs "forthwith GBP 22,528" (enforcement), an unless strike-out (conditional enforcement), and a retrospective extension validating the late Defence. The Master Kaye costs stay (6 February 2025, MHCM Day 40) conditioned the proceedings on payment of void costs (enforcement of debt). Every order that depends on or follows from the 6 February costs stay is also void as a derivative nullity. The LCRO (27 February 2025, MHCM Day 61) restricts the debtor's access to the court (enforcement). The TWM certifications are enforcement acts. The statutory prohibition is mandatory and admits no discretion.

LOCKED

G-A2

MacFoy Cascade (Derivative Nullities)

Orders founded on void MHCM orders are themselves void. The DDJ Wood order (Day 9) validated a late Defence; Cohen's summary judgment was founded on that Defence. The entire chain collapses.

LOCKED

G-A11

EA 2010 Discrimination

Systematic discrimination arising from disability (s.15), failure to make reasonable adjustments (s.20), discrimination in provision of services (s.29), and breach of Public Sector Equality Duty (s.149) across all proceedings.

LOCKED

G-A12

Reasonable Adjustments Denied (0/12)

12 reasonable adjustment requests across all courts; 0 granted. 100% refusal rate. No evidence of any PD 1A consideration at any hearing. Rolls Building disability framework conceived around physical access only; neurodivergent conditions invisible.

LOCKED

G-A13

Procedural Unfairness (Cumulative)

The totality of irregularities (29:0 adverse ratio, MHCM void orders, PD 1A denial, complaint weaponisation, TWM clustering, transcript denial) renders the proceedings fundamentally unfair under Article 6 ECHR.

LOCKED

JR-2

Transcript Obstruction (5+ Formal EX107s + Informal RA Requests, 0 Transcripts)

At least 5 formal EX107 transcript applications filed across multiple courts, plus further informal requests as reasonable adjustments. Not a single full transcript provided in over 200 days. Rolls Building ignored applications. County Court returned forms addressed to 'Mr Darius'. Hearings requiring transcripts: 18 Sep 2024 (DM Glover), 25 Sep 2024 (ICC Judge Greenwood, informal RA), 20 Dec 2024 (DDJ Wood), 4 Dec 2024 (ICC Judge Prentis, informal RA), 6 Feb 2025 (Master Kaye), 19 Aug 2025 (Recorder Cohen). Without transcripts, appeals cannot proceed.

LOCKED

JR-3

Wrong Statute (ss.290/364 Bankruptcy Applied to Company)

Arrest warrant and PE proceedings conducted under ss.290 and 364 IA 1986 (bankruptcy provisions). The company is in compulsory liquidation, not bankruptcy. The applicable provisions are ss.133 and 134 IA 1986. This is jurisdictional, not a typo.

LOCKED

JR-4

PE in Wrong Court (CLCC not ICC)

Public examination transferred to County Court at Central London. Section 117(2A) IA 1986 and Article 6C HCCJ Order 1991 provide that winding-up proceedings 'shall be commenced and proceeded with only in the High Court.'

LOCKED

JR-5

UC Sanctions from Void Winding-Up

Universal Credit closed as a consequence of a winding-up order that cascaded from void proceedings. Disability-related inability to comply with requirements imposed by void orders.

LOCKED

JR-6

Winding-Up Without RA Assessment

HMRC pursued winding-up petition without conducting a reasonable adjustment assessment for a disabled taxpayer. Mrs Huntley refused engagement on 22 Feb 2024.

LOCKED

JR-7

29:0 Adverse Decision Ratio

28 consecutive adverse decisions (21 judicial + 7 institutional) against a disabled LiP with defendants in default. Probability of occurring by chance: 1 in 536,870,912. No rational decision-making process could produce this outcome.

LOCKED

JR-8

16 Substantive Emails Ignored

16 substantive emails sent to multiple court addresses across all proceedings. Not a single substantive response. Emails included MHCM notification, default judgment requests, RA requests, and complaints.

LOCKED

JR-9

Abandoned £9.2M Claims

The Official Receiver abandoned £9.2M in claims (£4.9M LRP + £1.95M Chelsea + £2.35M personal) without investigation. Demands documents from the Applicant while simultaneously withholding them. Impossibilium nulla obligatio est.

LOCKED

JR-15

Article 5 (Arrest Warrant for Disabled Person on Void Order)

Deprivation of liberty pursuant to an arrest warrant founded on void orders. Article 5(1) ECHR requires lawful authority. A void order provides no lawful authority. Article 5(5) entitles compensation.

LOCKED

JR-16

Article 6 (Denial of Access to Justice)

Combined effect: GBP 34,528 costs barrier (R (UNISON) v Lord Chancellor), Chancery Division LCRO (BL-2024-001089 only, imposed by the same judge complained about 7 days earlier on undefended proceedings) blocking applications, default judgment suppressed 540+ days, transcripts withheld preventing appeals. Closed loop: courts refuse adjustments, deny transcripts, maintain void orders.

LOCKED

JR-18

A1P1 (Deprivation of Property Through Void Proceedings)

Loss of business, office, chattels, IP, and income through enforcement of void orders. Article 1, Protocol 1 ECHR protects peaceful enjoyment of possessions.

LOCKED

JR-19

0/12 Reasonable Adjustments (100% Refusal)

12 formal RA requests across all courts. Not a single one granted. Rolls Building disability framework conceived for physical disabilities. Neurodivergent conditions do not exist in their documentation. No PD 1A reference anywhere.

LOCKED

JR-20

No PSED Consideration Evidenced

Section 149 EA 2010 imposes a duty to have due regard. No evidence of any PSED consideration at any hearing, in any order, or in any correspondence. The duty is proactive, not reactive.

LOCKED

OV-1

29:0 Adverse Decision Ratio

Supports both bias (appeal) and irrationality (JR). 28 consecutive adverse outcomes. P < 1 in 536,870,912.

LOCKED

Void Cascade (MacFoy Principle)

7 August 2025

Public Examination Order DERIVATIVE NULLITY
