Put simply, CH can apply for compulsory strike off of a company (ie dissolve and remove it from CH) if it doesn’t comply with the basic requirements of a registered business. After strike off the company does not exist anymore. They can petition to strike a business off if it’s late in filing accounts, dormant, non responsive to communications etc). When they petition for strike off, it can be challenged by directors or other stakeholders of the business, such as creditors and suppliers (usually HMRC or the bank for debts owed). Rose could’ve challenged the petition herself both times, but it’s very strange to let it get to such a stage…twice!What is strike off? Sorry I'm totally clueless about accounting related things
Edit! Sorry I had initially misread it as a voluntary strike off on CH (which directors can do if they want to close a company). It’s a compulsory strike off though, both times, so it’s CH petitioning to close it.
