# Kettering Town FC Winding Up Petition Dismissed by Companies Court

*The winding up petition against Kettering Town FC, which was brought by Rushden & Diamonds (2008) Limited, has been dismissed by the High Court after the parties reached an out of court settlement. It has been [reported](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24430534) that the High Court dismissed the winding up petition following payment of the outstanding amount due. *

## Companies Court Winding Up Petition

Kettering Town FC reportedly almost went out of business last year, but have been slowly paying off a proportion of their debt in the form of a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) which was entered into between the club and its creditors.

The winding up petition had threatened to bring an end to the club’s 141-year history, but a mass fundraising effort supported by football fans helped raise the shortfall needed to pay off the debt.  The club received assistance from their Supporters Trust who helped raise over £30,000 via a fundraising website and charity match.

We [reported](https://windinguppetitionsolicitors.co.uk/insolvency-lawyers-london/kettering-towns-winding-up-petition-hearing-adjourned/) in July this year that the winding up petition against the club had been adjourned which paved the way for both parties to negotiate and reach a settlement.

## Dismissal of Winding Up Petition

The dismissal of the winding up petition is believed to be the final issue to resolve for the club, who are now on a decent run of form in the Calor League Division One Central.

The statement by the club said:

>  “The club has now had confirmation from the clerk of court at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, that the winding up petition brought by Rushden & Diamonds (2008) Limited has been dismissed following full payment having been made."
