Industry legal wrangle: Beaver Press versus CPI

Beaver Press takes CPI back to the Supreme Court tomorrow.

Following on from last Thursday’s hearing, which was quickly adjourned, the case follows on from Beaver Press’ demise last year. Robert Francis was managing director of the company, and is one of the plaintiffs in the case against CPI. When contacted by Print21, Francis declined to comment on the nature of the case that revolves around the security of the extended credit of CPI to Beaver Press.

It has been a challenging time for Francis, who was also involved with Goodcrowd, which this month entered into liquidation on the same day that the business was sold to Goodcrowd Integrated Communication. According to a spokesperson for CRS Warner Kugel, which is handling the liquidation, personal health problems, reduced sales margins and high debts were behind Goodcrowd’s fall.
