Luxury bridal house collapses for a second time
Luxury bridal house Pallas Couture has collapsed into administration for a second time in less than eight years, but worried customers have been assured they will still receive their wedding dresses. Jeremy Nipps and Thomas Birch of Cor Cordis were appointed as administrators for Evercentre Pty Ltd — trading as Pallas Couture — earlier this month. They are now assessing the retailer's financial position. Pallas employs 12 staff and has studios in Subiaco and Paddington in Sydney. Cor Cordis said it would evaluate operations and explore various avenues to restructure or recapitalise the business, including the possibility of a deed of company arrangement. 'The process will allow for Pallas Couture to continue prioritising all brides and continue operations as normal, with no disruption to the business or any creation and delivery of gowns currently in production,' they said. Mr Nipps told The West Australian on Thursday that funding had been secured from an undisclosed third party, ensuring wedding gowns can be completed and delivered to customers. He could not yet comment on what led to the company's demise. Pallas Couture's Joy Morris. Credit: Rob Duncan / The West Australian Pallas Couture's collapse comes amid tough trading conditions for retailers as persistent cost-of-living pressures force consumers to tighten their belts, including brides-to-be when it comes to their wedding gowns. Pallas founder Joy Morris told The West in 2015 her elaborate frocks don't come cheap, sayings brides had to have a desire to spend in excess of $5000. Cor Cordis and Mr Nipps had already helped pull Pallas from the brink after it entered administration in November 2017, when the Australian Taxation Office applied to wind it up over an unpaid debt. Administrators at the time attributed the demise of the business — then called Pallas Bride and Fashion — to inadequate cashflow management. The administration concluded with Pallas' creditors approving a DOCA floated by Ms Morris, saying It represented the best option for employees. Mr Nipps on Thursday said he was confident the business could be revived a second time. 'There is a viable business that can get through this process and continue trading as it did previously for the past eight years,' he said. 'Subject to doing a bit more investigation, this could just be a bit of a bump in the road.'

Telcos seek rules to tackle spam via business communications
India's top telcos Reliance Jio , Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have called on the Department of Consumer Affairs (DOCA) to urgently notify guidelines aimed at preventing spam through business communications. In a letter written last week to DOCA secretary Nidhi Khare through industry body Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), the telcos said the guidelines can bridge the regulatory gaps, which are being exploited by spammers. "We respectfully reiterate that the department may, under the powers conferred by Section 18 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, kindly notify the said guidelines at the earliest," COAI said. Telecom executives and experts believe that the DOCA through the guidelines can curb unwanted communications from all stakeholders like unregistered telemarketers, including over the top (OTT) players. Such players currently evade any action either from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) or the Department of Telecommunications (DoT). While Trai has prescribed Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulation (TCCCPR), it only caters to registered telemarketers. But even through the rules, the telecom operators are made the primary stakeholders, while telemarketers remain out of bounds. The DoT had written to Trai to send recommendations for regulating telemarketers but the sectoral watchdog is yet to come out with a consultation paper.

The Wolf Windsor and Norman South Yarra collapse into administration
Don't miss out on the headlines from Business. Followed categories will be added to My News. The owner of two popular inner-city hospitality venues is desperately trying to negotiate a deal with the taxman over a $3.2m debt, leaving more than 150 jobs at risk. Companies housing popular Windsor night spot, The Wolf Windsor, and South Yarra cafe, Norman, have collapsed into administration, documents filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission show. The Wolf is a pub located on Chapel St, known for its late nights, while Norman, situated on Toorak Rd, advertises itself as a 'sleek and modern cafe' serving breakfast and lunch. Both venues are continuing to trade. The Wolf is housed in corporate vehicle James Hospitality Investments while Norman trades in a company called AMPS Enterprises. Hamilton Murphy Advisory's Stephen Dixon has been appointed administrator to both companies. The Australian Taxation Office is listed as being owed $3,284,356, minutes from a combined creditor meeting held this month reveal. Prahran accounting firm Highview Accounting and Financial is also listed as a creditor owed $22,242. The director of both businesses, Andrew Simmonds, plans to put forward a deal to creditors, known as a Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA). The Herald Sun has been told no staff will be impacted and the businesses expect to reach a resolution with all parties within the next fortnight. But Mr Dixon's colleague Ahmed Bise, who stepped in to lead the first creditor's meeting, said the tax office would have a 'significant say' over whether any settlement deal will be accepted. 'The chairperson noted that any DOCA proposal will have to be supported by a cashflow forecast that illustrates that the companies' businesses can trade by generating surplus operating cash flow after the payment of operating expenses,' the minutes read. Andrew Kovacevic, who attended the meeting on behalf of the tax office, told the administrators that James Hospitality Investments had 75 employees while AMPS Enterprises had 66 workers. Mr Kovacevic said James Hospitality Investments' debt to the tax office had been accruing since February 2022, while unpaid debts from AMPS Enterprises could be traced back as far as May 2020. 'The chairperson confirmed the dates provided by Mr Kovacevic for the purposes of the minutes of the meeting adding that this information was relevant to the administrator's investigations,' the document read. Mr Bise said historically AMPS Enterprises had received financial support from James Hospitality Investments to meet its trading liabilities, and noted there were a number of related party loans. He said Mr Simmonds had other business interests, which had also drawn funds from the companies. Mr Simmonds is also listed as the director of whipped shower foam and body moisturiser brand Sundae Body. In the coming weeks creditors will receive Mr Dixon's report on the administration and vote on whether to accept a deal put forward by Mr Simmonds or place the companies into liquidation. In the meantime Mr Dixon will continue to trade the businesses in order to 'preserve (their) value', Mr Bise said. 'The chairperson noted that investigations will be conducted to determine the reasons for the appointment of an administrator to the companies,' the minutes read.
