The Chancery Division allowed the claimant company’s application for summary judgment, in proceedings where theclaimant had claimed for arrears said to be due from the tenant of premises under a lease. The court held that, among other things, Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 took effect as a statutory scheme by operation of law in the same way as a Part 26 scheme of arrangement took effect. There were no other compelling reasons for the claim to be disposed of at trial and not summarily.
