[UPDATE 8 December] The wait is over. 1st High Court hearing listed for "applications" in April 2026.

[UPDATE 8 DECEMBER]

In the light of the Government's Press release that the decision has been taken that the Serious Fraud Office is to get involved in the enforcement of Company Law Compliance obligations,

 and in the hope that some Direct Access Barrister might read this and offer some pro-bono help - 

I disclose the following statements made by Rebecca Hume, Member of Howard Kennedy llp in the application  to which she put her name on 26 November 2025:

"Howard Kennedy llp (asks)... the Court to make an order that:

..it be directed that the hearing of this application be conducted in private pursuant to CPR Rule 39.2(3)(a) and (c) 

AND

...an order directing that in the interests of justice, the order not be published on the judiciary website.."

What are they trying to hide?

Should I ask for a direction that the case be heard in Tehran like the ones for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe?

Come back Franz Kafka - all is forgiven.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[UPDATE 5 DECEMBER]

I have just been served with a 2nd Application to the Court which is to be heard "in Private" on 8 April 2026 at the same time as Directions for Documents etc before Trial of the attempt to prevent not only me, but  ANY other shareholder ever asking for the Register of Members to convene a meeting to propose liquidation. 

The name Octopus Titan VCT plc has been removed from the Court file header. It is now "re a Company".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30 Minute hearing only in April 2026. It will be for "directions" only

Substantive hearing will be long after the June 2026 AGM which suits only one player - Octopus Investment Management Ltd - which by then will have trousered another £25+m for doing absolutely nothing except collect bank interest which pays only one-fifth of their fees.

Following the Chancellor's slashing of tax relief, it seems to me that there is now an ugent need to canvas everyone by endless Media campaigns to propose a resolution for liquidation at the AGM as well as stick to my own request for the Register of Members.

Onward and Upward.

ps. Companies House is now investigating the deliberately false and still unrectified/incomplete OTV2 filings - will they extend it to similar false filings that shares were issued for cash when they weren't by  OAP3 the Directors of which "can't be bothered" to correct? Prosecutions anyone?

Request for the register of members to circularise the OTV2 Members to convene a General Meeting to resolve to liquidate the Company.

With impeccable timing, the CEO of "Octopus Ventures" yesterday took to the airwaves on SIFTED's "Startup Europe" podcast  https://sifted.eu/articles/erin-platts-podcast . Do listen to more "talk the talk" about the reasons for Titan's downfall and the need for transparency and to give the investors the information they need and change the team that screwed up in 2020...including Directors as I suggest? She does admit the VCT tax regime on new money is a problem which is why the EIS route is better for everyone and all VCTs should go now.  At the 10 October 2025 General Meeting, the Directors refused to answer the questions about the economic analysis and case for Liquidation being a better outcome for shareholders. There is a transcript of the meeting that they refused to make available to Members. Liquidation will save > £100,000,000 without jeapordising anyone's Tax status whilst retaining all economic upside on the investments. I have th...

What a week......... panic in the entire Investment Management sector and all self-inflicted .. time for all shareholders to stand up for their rights.

There is a state of absolute panic at 1 London Bridge and 33 Holborn ... homes to the deadly duo. I  am prohibited from telling you what it is all about until the High Court has considered Octopus' urgent application to the High Court for a gagging order and immediate destruction of documents that they put into Court to rely on their case against me ... yes you did read that correctly they are asking for their own evidence to be destroyed. I can however confirm that Octopus and Howard Kennedy are having to report themselves to the  Information Commissioner for serious breaches of UK GDPR and Data Protection and are probably obliged to urgently tell all shareholders. I await the case reference number. ...and all just to preserve the gravy train of outrageous fees for themselves and professional advisers (as well as the salaries of proven to be incompetent "non-executive Directors").  Octopus have every intention of destroying the very bedrock of the UK's company law an...
