Examiner to Four Star Pizza confirmed by court

THE High Court yesterday confirmed the appointment of an examiner to the Four Star Pizza takeaway and delivery chain after it heard an independent accountant had found it has a reasonable prospect of survival if certain steps are taken.

Neil Hughes, of Hughes Blake, who was appointed interim examiner earlier this month, was confirmed as examiner yesterday by Mr Justice Brian McGovern.

Four Star Pizza Ltd, and its holding parent company Zowington Ltd, sought the court’s protection because it was insolvent and unable to pay its debts.
