BHS bankrupt appeals

THE three-times bankrupt former racing driver who bought BHS for £1 in 2015 has launched a bid to clear his name.

Dominic Chappell is appealing a conviction in January for failing to provide the pensions watchdog with vital documents relating to the collapse of the High Street store. He was fined £50,000 with £37,000 costs.

The 51-year- old’s appeal hearing will go ahead on September 17.
