Liquidator seeks orders to disqualify brothers from managing companies

THE liquidator of the company which operated the Bang Cafe restaurant in Dublin, wound up with debts of €2.4 million, is proceeding with his bid for orders under Section 160 of the Companies Act disqualifying brothers Simon and Christian Stokes from involvement in the management of any company on grounds of unfitness.

Both brothers consented last March to orders under Section 150 of the Companies Act restricting them, for a period of five years, acting as directors of companies unless those companies meet minimal capital requirements.

Yesterday, Bernard Dunleavy, for Tom Murray, liquidator of Mayfair Properties Ltd (which operated Bang Cafe) said his client intended to proceed with the Section 160 application.
