Reform UK, Nigel Farage's party/company, admits missing winding-up petition

In my other blog today, I explored how the other Reform UK Party Limited party/company was previously subject to a judgment and insolvency proceedings to try and extract payment.
Very few companies are ever listed in the official Gazette.
After that painful lesson, as they progress towards being in a position to run the UK Government, wouldn't you expect them to improve their procedures and run their party headquarters competently?
When Sarah Cooper-Lesadd recently resigned and defected from Reform UK, she told the BBC that Reform UK is chaotic.
In the Scotsman's report about the VMS Enterprises vs Brexit Party dispute, the party was described as "beyond chaotic". They can't seem to learn how to tie their shoelaces but they want to run the United Kingdom. If Nigel Farage does ever become Prime Minister, I hope his party remembers to pass on the messages when Argentina makes their next attempt to take the Falkland Islands.
It looks like Sarah Cooper-Lesadd is right. They admit despite having one of the most serious legal documents, a winding-up position, served on their party headquarters, they have no idea where it went:
Fortunately, the process server provide video evidence so I can prove it was served correctly and the incompetence is not on my side.
In fact, the case only reached this point because of a litany of errors on the part of Reform UK themselves. Errors they should never have made if they learnt the lesson from the last time somebody brought their party into insolvency proceedings.
Look at the cost. Their lawyers, Aston Bond, have invoiced over £25,000 before the first hearing. Most of that is for investigating what went wrong inside their own organisation and how the dispute was leaked by the MouseInTheCourt before the petition ever arrived on the doorstep of party HQ.
Why is Nigel Farage so so afraid of a candidate who only got sixteen votes?
