Exclusive: Legal bill follows failed case brought by official receiver against Camila Batmanghelidjh and seven others
Taxpayers face a legal bill for at least £8m as a result of the official receiver’s disastrous attempt to ban the Kids Company founder Camila Batmanghelidjh and seven fellow charity trustees from holding senior jobs, it has emerged.
The bill follows a three-and-a-half-year legal case, in which a court threw out claims by the official receiver that Batmanghelidjh and former trustees of the charity failed properly to oversee Kids Company, causing it to collapse in July 2015.
