Motion to Dismiss: August 28th 2008?

Thanks to Colin Alsbury for this observation:

At http://www.txs.uscourts.gov/schedules/A671thu1ceo.htm I note that the Honorable Marvin Isgur of UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT Southern District of Texas will be hearing Motion to Dismiss in respect of the case of St Stephen the Great LLC at 11.00am on 8/28/2008 … we watch with interest!

Since these things are “subject to change at any time”, figured we’d better have a screenshot for posterity:

US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District Of Texas: Hearings Calendar for The Honorable Marvin Isgur, 8/28/2008

Now let’s hope and pray it gets the dismissal it deserves and is sent back to the UK for proper consideration… (can’t help thinking there’s an irony there somewhere: I want the bankruptcy case returned to the UK — I want the guys who called for it back in the USA… but preferably after they’ve faced British justice).

Shame and Disgrace: St Stephen the Great, Cambridge

I was in Cambridge yesterday, 26 August 2008. This is what I found: this is what J Mark Brewer and Philip Brewer have left behind for the residents of that city:

Cambridge, 26 August 2008: Empty Shelves and a Shop To Let Notice

Cambridge, 26 August 2008: Pile of rubbish seen through the window

A fine legacy indeed. Thank you, Messrs Brewer, for taking such good care of the shops SPCK entrusted to you. Thank you, gentlemen, for tidying up the garbage you left behind.

What, I wonder, did you do with the stock? Transfer it to the ENC Management Company, perhaps? Or to one of your other companies? Was it paid for? Was it your property?

Please do tell us.

Thank you.
