Cardiff UK. Thursday 13 November 2014 Pictured: Companies House Headquarters in Cardiff, UK. Re: A mistake over a single letter 'S' has led to a Cardiff businessman suing Companies House for £, the High Court heard. In February 2009, the agency recorded Cardiff engineers Taylor & Sons Ltd as being wound up, when it was another company, Taylor & Son Ltd. It is claimed the mistake led to the 124-year-old firm - which employed 250 people - going into administration. Companies House is contesting the claim at the ongoing hearing. Clive Freedman QC, told Mr Justice Edis that Companies House was in breach of its duty to Taylor & Sons Ltd when it made the mistake. The information was wrongly recorded on the companies register on February 20 and was corrected three days later on February 23. Acting for the former co-owner, Philip Davison-Sebry, the barrister said that by the third day it was already too late, as it had already got around that the company was in trouble and the record remained elsewhere.
