IFA firm Cavanagh Group may soon be in a position to deliver dividends to shareholders after the High Court of Justice approved the company's share premium account cancellation.

Cavanagh previously stated the cancellation would help the company “create distributable reserves and, when the directors consider it appropriate, to make a distribution to shareholders”.
