1 June sanction published only on 22 July, why appointors should rethink live insolvency checks

A Disciplinary Consent Order made on 1 June against Glasgow insolvency practitioner Kenneth Pattullo only appeared today in the GOV.UK Insolvency Service transparency release. The notice says: “On 1 June 2026 a Disciplinary Consent Order was made against Kenneth Pattullo of Glasgow.” For appointors, the publication gap is the real warning.

What the source says The Insolvency Service published the sanctions entry on 22 July 2026, but the order itself was made on 1 June

2026. That makes this a story about timing as much as conduct. The surprise is not that a sanction exists. It is that the market is learning about a 1 June regulatory action only now. That matters because many due-diligence workflows still treat a public check as a current check. In practice, those are not always the same thing. If a firm, lender or panel manager checked the public position between 1 June and today, that review would not have captured this item.

What RecoupIQ’s data shows

Timing gaps change the quality of a check RecoupIQ treats the date of a regulatory action and the date of publication as separate signals. When those dates diverge, we treat the earlier action date as the one that matters for live counterparty review. A clean result on the day you search is only as useful as the speed of publication behind it.

Keep watch on your customers and suppliers. recoup-iq.tech/pricing (Pro £149/mo) That is a narrow point, but it is an important one for UK creditors. In our regulatory monitoring, the risk is often not a lack of disclosure. It is a delay between the event and the market seeing it.

What this means for UK creditors If you appoint insolvency practitioners, review panel managers or place reliance on professional status checks, ask two questions. When was the underlying action taken, and when was it published? Those dates should sit side by side in the file. It is also worth rerunning checks before an appointment is confirmed or funds move. A single search at onboarding can give false comfort when publication lags exist. Better process discipline here is not bureaucracy. It is basic protection against stale due diligence.
