KPMG is set to take a dispute over its role in the administration of failed café chain Patisserie Valerie to court in November.

KPMG and FRP Advisory — the patisserie chain's liquidators — are set to go to the High Court on 23 November to "resolve the uncertainties" stemming from KPMG’s time as the company’s administrator. A dispute over costs, from a previous court hearing, will also be considered, according to a 24 September progress report on the liquidation of Patisserie Holdings from FRP.
