Essar Oil "Group" and Deloitte's resignation

"Deloitte raises alarm over Indian tycoons’ $225m from Stanlow"

pdf copy of article


The law, disclosure delays and "the truth" according to Deloitte's lawyers.....

Companies Act 2006:

s.519      "An auditor ….who is ceasing to hold office must send to the company a statement of the reasons for doing so…….Where there are matters connected with an auditor's ceasing to hold office that the auditor considers need to be brought to the attention of members or creditors of the company, the statement under this section must include details of those matters."

s.521  "……within 21 days beginning with the day on which he sent the statement ……... he must within a further seven days send a copy of the statement to the registrar."

s.1077     "A document is not delivered to the registrar until it is received by the registrar."


Companies House documentary trail: 

NB.   all letters dated 28 October 2020 but not marked as "delivered" until 20 April 2021

Essar Oil (UK) filings

and

Essar Midlands filings

and

Infranorth filings


NB.   "Essar" new auditors accounts "delivered" on 15 April 2021


Herbert Smith Freehills "explanation":

Letter dated 19 May 2021

Conclusion:  "The Registrar of Companies is to blame...."  for no-one knowing about "Duh"loitte's resignation for 6 months and only after the new auditors had issued their report. Really?

Oh Dear ...how to explain this one?

 Someone managed to file a single late member appointment at Companies House yesterday, but... The spanking new Register of Statutory Auditor website (NB no longer giving dates when last updated but it has always always been a Tuesday!)  shows 958 persons of which 204 are stated not to be members of Deloitte LLP - leaving 754 members. https://app.box.com/s/tjlpzfj2bu8o7dzy2iox7tpejhwcruy2 Companies House says that is a blatant lie .  It's records show 735 including yesterday's single very late filing. The oversight body, Department of Trade and Business, gives Deloittes more contracts for work than any other consultancy firm.  Is that because they can be relied on to be incapable of balancing anyone's books? PS Who audits Deloitte's accounts? BDO LLP !  What a coincidence! - see  https://clcluk.blogspot.com/ BDO signed off on Deloitte's accounts that state it had an average of 714 members in the year to 31 May 2023 compared to 672 in the prior year.

 Extract of a Report dated 7 Novermber 2023 filed in Hardy -v- ICAEW, FRC and DBT: This Report covers the period Monday 7 August 2023 to Monday 6 November 2023 inclusive. References to MGH 7 are to the pages numbered in the Exhibit marked MGH7. The validity of the claims has been further demonstrated by the enactment of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2003 (“ ECCTA ”) on 24 October 2023 where the previously unparticularised in writing responsibilities of the Agent of D3 , the Registrar of Companies (“ Reg Co ”) have been further clarified, in part as a consequence of this claim, and now demonstrate beyond all doubt that the declaratory relief sought against D3 is more justified than ever, and that the prior conduct of Reg Co was “negligent, unreasonable and unjustified in law” and that declaratory relief remains wholly appropriate to prevent recurrence of injury to C and the general public. The claims for General and Exempla
