The High Court has approved a Scheme of Arrangement in respect of Monsoon Accessorize Ireland Limited which entered into the examinership process in March 2013 and was under the Court’s protection for the maximum period of 100 days. This period afforded the company time to attract investment and allow for its restructuring so that it could continue to survive as a going concern after the protection of the Court was lifted.

As a result of the restructuring, a number of stores will close, however, the Scheme of Arrangement should result in approximately 200 jobs being saved.

William Fry acted for Mr Declan McDonald of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Examiner appointed to the Company.
