A prolific film producer, known for projects featuring actors like Kelsey Grammer and Anna Chancellor, has had a significant number of his production companies forcibly dissolved from the UK’s companies register. This action prevents workers and suppliers from pursuing unpaid fees.
Alan Latham, whose past low-budget films have drawn scrutiny regarding their use of tax credits, has had 50 of his film businesses compulsorily struck off by Companies House. This information was gathered by the film workers’ union, Bectu.
The removal of Alan Latham’s companies means there is no longer a legal entity against which creditors can make claims, posing a considerable obstacle for those seeking to recover outstanding payments.
