Hi,
My own understanding re the used re-use of a company name during/after liquidation is a restricted process based on various principles.
What I would like to understand is the following using non-related (fictional) company names for obvious reasons;
FYI QWERTY Ltd and ABCD Ltd are owned by the same directors.
(1) QWERTY Ltd falls into liquidation
(2) ABCD Ltd has been operating for 5 years
(3) CDEF Ltd has been operating for 4 years but is not owned or related to either QWERTY Ltd and or ABCD Ltd
ABCD Ltd continues to advertise on social media and on vehicles still using the names QWERTY Ltd (in liquidation) and CDEF Ltd which they have no connection with.
QWERTY Ltd has not been granted name use by the courts, and nothing has been published in the Gazette, and they are not using the mo****r QWERTY, but the full name QWERTY Ltd
Is this legal?
