A bar company which was fined £100,000 serving a liquid nitrogen cocktail that left a customer in agonising pain has gone into liquidation, without paying the fine.

Oscars Wine Bar Ltd, which is run by York-based businessman Andrew Dunn, has gone into liquidation, and documents from Companies House show the company has just £12,500 in assets. Documents say its debts include £123,000 in "fine and costs".

The company owns the bar in Lancaster where 18-year-old Gaby Scanlon was served a liquid nitrogen cocktail in October 2012.

Mr Dunn also owns the separate company that runs Oscar's Wine Bar in York, and said that business was unaffected.

Miss Scanlon, who was celebrating her birthday, started vomiting just seconds after downing a shot of Jagermeister laced with liquid nitrogen, and subsequently had surgery to remove her stomach. In hearings last year, Preston Crown Court heard she still suffers from serious stomach pains, while the surgeon who operated said that without her stomach being removed Miss Scanlon would have died.

The company had pleaded guilty to one count of breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act, and in September last year was fined £100,000 and ordered to pay £40,000 costs in the case.

Director Andrew Dunn saw charges against him - of being part of a corporate employer that failed in its health and safety duty - dropped.

Now documents lodged with Companies House show Oscars Wine Bar Ltd has gone into voluntary liquidation, but Mr Dunn is now the director of a new company called Oscars of Lancaster - set up in March this year.

In a statement of affairs by liquidators Begbies Traynor and lodged with Companies House, debts listed include £20,000 in VAT owed to HMRC, and another £12,000 in tax and National Insurance contributions, as well as a £35,000 debt to the Nat West bank.

With assets of only £12,500 - £3,500 in goodwill and £9,000 in furniture and equipment - that leaves a shortfall in the accounts of nearly £700,000 - including the £123,000 in fine and costs.

The £123,000 was listed as one of several "unsecured non-preferential claims."

Mr Dunn said on Monday that the severity of the fine and the loss of business due to flooding in Lancaster had meant the Lancaster company was no longer viable.
