One spelling error costs Companies House up to £9 million after being sued for ruining business
C&P:A single spelling error has caused an 124-year-old Welsh family business to collapse โ and cost the government £9 million in legal bills.
A High Court ruling has found that Companies House was to blame after an engineering firm called Taylor & Sons, which was based in Cardiff and supplied military equipment during two world wars, was recorded as having been in liquidation.
In fact, Companies House had inserted a rogue "s" and the actual company that had been wound up six years ago was based 200 miles away in Manchester called Taylor and Son.
