Significant events
- “As at 31 August 2025, contingent liabilities amounted to £1m (31 August 2024: £900k). They are attributable to legal claims for insurance claims received, which settlement is possible, in relation to Covid interrupted trips.”
- “Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Group concluded negotiations in respect of the legal claims arising from insurance claims received relating to Covid-interrupted trips. As disclosed in note 20, liabilities of £1m were recognised at both 31 August 2025 and 31 August 2024. These claims have now been settled through a negotiated agreement with the claimants. The total settlement reached across various Group entities amounted to £2.05m, payable over a period of five years.”
- “In addition, the Group received confirmation from other claimants of the withdrawal of all claims against the Group's brands, representing a further £3.5m of potential exposure. A number of other historic insurance claims have also passed the statute of limitations and can no longer be pursued. As a result of these developments, the previously disclosed contingent liability of £1.9m across the relevant entities in the business has been superseded, as either settlements have now been agreed or claimants have formally withdrawn.”
