TP19/013
The review Panel has consented to requests by each of John Bridgeman Limited (JBL), Benjamin Hornigold Limited (BHD) and Henry Morgan Limited (HML) to withdraw its review application (see TP19/05). The applications of each of BHD and HML concerned its own affairs and the application of JBL concerned the affairs of both those companies. Each request to withdraw indicated that the applicant did not wish to incur the additional delay which may arise as a result of the stay of the initial Panel’s orders pending the decision of the review Panel.
The review Panel is satisfied that it is not against the public interest to consent to the applicants withdrawing their applications.
The review Panel appointed to consider these matters was Robert McKenzie (sitting President), Karen Phin and David Williamson.
