Conduct: From 31 May 2022 at the latest, Mr Alessandro Klienchen Machado Da Silva (“Mr Da Silva”) knew, or ought to have known, that K and L Restaurants Limited (“K and L”) was insolvent; Mr Da Silva breached his fiduciary duties by continuing to trade K and L until 05 July 2023 (the date of insolvency), at unreasonable risk to creditors, which increased from a total of £104,441 as at 31 May 2022, to an estimated total of £284,648 as at liquidation (excluding directors’ claims). 1. Filed accounts for the period ended 31 May 2021, approved by the board and signed off on 08 April 2022, show that K and L was balance sheet insolvent, with net liabilities of £23,383. 2. Analysis of K and L’s bank statements show that during the year to 31 May 2022, a total of £8,967 had been paid out to three separate collection agents. 3. Records received from HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) show that, by 31 May 2022, the K and L was behind on payments to HMRC and had entered its second Time-To-Pay arrangement of that year for outstanding tax liabilities totalling £17,080. 4. By 31 May 2022, K and L had not paid any rent for its York premises, which had opened in October 2021. Correspondence received from collection agents shows that on 22 June 2022, they were appointed to recover £76,788 from K and L in respect of outstanding rent and service charges for the York restaurant. 5. By 31 May 2022, K and L had been written to on six separate occasions in that year and collection agents had been instructed to collect £46,744 with respect to outstanding Business Rates liabilities. 6. Year-end accounts for the year ended 31 May 2022, approved by the board and signed off on 31 August 2022, show that K and L remained balance sheet insolvent with net liabilities of £63,078. 7. Despite K and L’s mounting financial difficulties, Mr Da Silva and his co-director sought to lease luxury vehicles via K and L for their use. K and L paid out £20,440 in relation to these lease agreements between 20 September and 05 December 2022. 8. No third party independent professional advice was sought by Mr Da Silva regarding K and L’s insolvent position and its ability to continue trading until 22 June 2023. Upon receiving advice, K and L ceased trading on 25 June 2023 and entered Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation on 05 July 2023. 9. In continuing to trade K and L from 31 May 2022, liabilities to unsecured creditors increased by an estimated £180,207 to the date of liquidation.
