Resignation and discharge

Paul David Copley, who is presently a concurrent administrator of Phones 4U Limited (P4U), was appointed to assume responsibility for the conduct of certain competition law-related investigations and litigation commenced by P4U. As that litigation has now been conclusively resolved, Mr Copley’s role as concurrent administrator of P4U has naturally come to an end.

Accordingly, Mr Copley made an application to Court on 30 January 2026 seeking permission to resign from his position as concurrent administrator of P4U. As part of that application, Mr. Copley has requested the Court to fix the timing of his discharge of liability to take effect 28 days after delivery of his notice of resignation to the registrar of companies and the continuing joint administrators of P4U. The application notice and draft order are linked below.

Once directions have been made for the determination of the application, or if there are any key developments in the application, further information will be provided on this website.

If you have any objections to the application, or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact info@aldanmanagement.com
