Amra has filed a bankruptcy order against Jeremy Morris, former
chief executive of the Word. But the courts have been unable to locate
him.
In 1997 Morris set up a affinity marketing outfit called Third Tier with
help from Amra, which gave him capital and office space in return for a
cut in commission.
But Amra was not satisfied with Morris’s paybacks and he is understood
to owe the company around pounds 20,000. In June a bankruptcy order was
filed against him in Kingston Upon Thames County Court.
The Office of the Official Receiver has booked a public examination in
Croydon Crown Court for 10 November, which would give Morris an
opportunity to explain why he had not responded to the earlier
order.
If he does not respond, the Official Receiver can issue a warrant for
his arrest.
