Dominic Chappell to be prosecuted over BHS collapse

Dominic Chappell, who bought BHS for £1, is to be prosecuted by The Pensions Regulator for failing to provide information related to his purchase of the now defunct retailer.

He has been summoned to Brighton Magistrates Court on 20th September to face three charges of neglecting or refusing to provide information and documents without a reasonable excuse.

The Pensions Regulator is still pursuing Mr Chappell over the collapse of BHS, which left 20,000 BHS pensioners facing a pay cut and created 11,000 redundancies, after agreeing a £363m with Sir Philip Green to plug the retailer’s deficit.
