Bobby,
6/8 months with COMI which was rock solid to be fair, you need to get that one right or your goosed
No Judge, in London High Court the registrar looks at case when you petition grants it or bring you back for hearing 2 months later
Lucky I sailed through
The OR was great very supportive, but i made it easy for him had files prepared in booklet forms to assist
Best advice is plan and treat it as business opportunity (which it is actually in a weird way!) create a Business Plan Model for your Court + OR by putting your best foot forward
The more info you give at petition and meeting they the less work for them.
Hope this helps
