Collapsed housebuilder Ilke Homes has been put into liquidation.
The company, which was based alongside the A1(M) at Flaxby, ceased trading and entered administration in June, causing the loss of 1,100 jobs and leaving a long list of creditors.
A final report from administrators AlixPartners shows the firm left debts of £320 million.
Among the sums owed by Ilke Homes was to government housing agency Homes England, which had an estimated debt of £68.7 million.
A court order has since been filed to Companies House on October 19 which states the firm will be placed into liquidation.
According to its report, AlixPartners estimated that HMRC, employees and unsecured credits are estimated to receive no money.
