Introduction
[1] This court has before it a notice of appeal which is dated 25 July 2022. It is an
appeal brought by Cullen Asbestos Limited against a conviction following trial
before the Crown Court in respect of various different health and safety offences
relating to the handling of asbestos. The conviction resulted in a fine of £15,000.
Discussion
[2] The matter has been case managed for a short period of time and was listed
today on a preliminary issue as to whether or not this court has jurisdiction to deal
with the appeal given that the appellant is a company which is now dissolved.
[3] We are very grateful to Mr Steer for the helpful written argument dealing
with this area of law and the clarification that has been provided by Companies
House.
