Bailiff orders pursuit of debt-laden businessman

RESTAURATEUR Howard Holland has disappeared and the courts are looking for him.

Bailiff Sir Geoffrey Rowland yesterday told Royal Court advocates to place advertisements in Spanish newspapers in an effort to locate the businessman and his wife.

‘Do all the court can possibly do to alert this to the attention of Mr and Mrs Holland, who have chosen to leave the jurisdiction knowing their finances are in quite considerable difficulty in the island,’ said the Bailiff.

His instructions were in response to Advocate Jessica Roland asking whether she could try emailing Mr Holland (pictured), who was being actioned by his former partner Peter Ferbrache.

‘What seems evident is that Mr and Mrs Holland have left the island and are in Spain,’ he said.
