This payment breached the terms of the BBL which states that its intended purpose was to provide economic benefit to the business and not for personal purposes. • On 23 March 2022 Morse Street went into liquidation following a winding up petition. At liquidation Morse Street had outstanding liabilities of at least £1,368,037 including the BBL which remained unpaid at liquidation. 2.
