Farfetch Limited (In Official Liquidation)

As of March 10, 2025, Farfetch Limited’s Chapter 15 proceeding was focused on obtaining records for its Cayman Islands liquidation, with a dispute over Surpique L.P.’s email production unresolved. The hearing agenda Dkt. 133 listed the liquidators’ motion to compel for a March 12, 2025 hearing, making resolution of that dispute the next identified step; the agenda does not establish the outcome.

Farfetch Limited’s Chapter 15 proceeding was supporting its Cayman Islands liquidation through U.S. discovery, with access to company records driving the case as of March 10, 2025. The Company filed its Chapter 15 petition on July 10, 2024, following the January 30, 2024 Coupang sale. The Surpique discovery order Dkt. 119 identifies Surpique L.P. as the former Athena Topco LP and uses the transaction’s closing date to define the scope of accessible records.

The liquidators’ document requests address the sale process, liquidity and financial reporting, governance, and intercompany claims. On January 31, 2025, the court entered the Latham & Watkins discovery order Dkt. 113, authorizing a subpoena subject to guidance on representations in which Farfetch Limited was a sole or joint client. The February 4 Surpique discovery order Dkt. 119 granted relief in part, limiting production to company and subsidiary books and records existing at or before the transaction closing, together with documents remaining the Company’s legal property afterward. It reserved disputes over whether emails and other communications qualify as books and records and conditioned production on a suitable protective order.

The court entered that confidentiality and protective order Dkt. 129 on March 4, 2025, governing discovery material and restricting its use to the insolvency proceedings and authorized causes of action. The remaining email dispute became the immediate procedural focus: the liquidators sought to overrule Surpique’s objection and compel responsive communications, and their March 10 hearing agenda Dkt. 133 marked the motion as going forward at the March 12, 2025 hearing. That agenda establishes the scheduled milestone, but does not report its disposition.
