E-Clear, the online transactions company being sued by administrators for failed airline Globespan, has been given a Friday deadline over £35 million.
At the High Court in London yesterday, Mr Justice Floyd took the decision to adjourn a case brought by PricewaterhouseCoopers against E-Clear until January 19.
But he enforced a requirement for E-clear to submit evidence that it hold the funds to the court by midday on Friday.
Before adjourning the case until next Tuesday, Mr Justice Floyd informed E-Clear it should not dispose of assets during that time.
Bruce Cartwright, joint administrator of Globespan and head of business recovery services at PwC in Scotland, said: “We are satisfied that the judge recognised our concerns and has put in place a process that will clarify the E-clear position in a very short time.”
More than 3,000 travellers were left stranded when Edinburgh-based Globespan and its airline FlyGlobespand collapsed before Christmas and 550 staff were made redundant.
PwC was seeking an order against E-Clear that would put it into administration.
