| Activity | The old Frederick Huth & Co was incorporated in March 1928 under the name of Cordillera Investments Ltd, with the Acorn Trust Ltd taking 415 non-voting shares and the Bank of England 415 voting shares. Certain realisations were made in the 1930s and the proceeds used to reduce the outstanding debt to the Bank. After World War Two, Cordillera Investments was left with claims on Poland and possible liabilities to old Russian customers. Creditors' voluntary liquidation was begun in 1961, and the winding-up completed in 1963, when the Bank was assigned the Polish claims and indemnified the liquidator against any liability arising from outstanding Russian claims. |
