                     Worcester Warriors players and staff are to have their contracts terminated, following part of the club being wound up in the High Court.
HMRC had been pursuing the club, who are suspended from all competitions, for unpaid tax of around £6m.
Judge Nicholas Briggs instructed that WRFC Players Ltd, through which players and staff are paid, should be wound up.
A winding-up petition against WRFC Trading Limited, which remains in administration, has been suspended.
The joint hearing for both companies, held at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, was relayed online as a result of the train strike.
The club had no representation at the meeting.

                     Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper will remain in his role following meetings at the club.
The 42-year-old's position was in doubt after his side fell to the bottom of the Premier League following Monday's 4-0 loss to Leicester.
However, it has been decided he should be given more time in recognition of his achievement in getting Forest promoted after a 23-year absence.
The club have also named Filippo Giraldi as sporting director.
Giraldi's appointment is viewed as an attempt to guide the club through their current difficulties and give them the structures needed to progress as a Premier League club.
Cooper was appointed manager in September 2021 and took them back to the top flight for the first time since 1999 at the end of his first season in charge.
He then spent £145m on 21 players in the summer transfer window.
Despite the heavy spending, Forest have won just once in the league this season, with Monday's defeat at the King Power Stadium their fifth loss in a row.

Cooper, 42, led the club to promotion into the Premier League last season but his team are bottom after eight games.
There were doubts over his role after a 4-0 defeat by Leicester City on Monday but it was decided he would remain in charge.
"It puts clarity on speculation. No one had ever questioned how much I love it here and want to be here," Cooper said.
"If there is talk about that it can stop. It doesn't mean we are going to win the next match and everything is going to be OK," he added.
"It has put an end to the questioning and that is great."

She has led the show since 2017, and will end her time on the sci-fi series with a feature-length centenary special on 23 October.
In an episode titled The Power Of The Doctor, Whittaker will take on some of her deadliest enemies - including The Master, Daleks and Cybermen.
The actress announced she would be leaving the show in July of last year.
The episode will mark the first time all three of the Doctor's main enemies have featured in a single storyline since 2005.
Fans will see her try to work out who is attacking a bullet train in a distant galaxy and why 21st century seismologists are going missing from Earth.
A trailer released earlier this year revealed two companions from previous eras will be making an appearance.

                     Max Verstappen clinched a second title in extraordinary circumstances after dominating a Japanese Grand Prix truncated by heavy rain.
Verstappen headed Sergio Perez in a Red Bull one-two after Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who crossed the line second, was penalised for cutting the track and gaining an advantage on the last lap.
There was confusion after the race as to whether Verstappen had done enough to tie up the championship, because it was not immediately clear whether full points would be awarded for a race that ran just over half distance.
But governing body the FIA said that reduced points only applied if a suspended race could not be resumed.
Awarding full points or three-quarter points - as all the teams expected would be the case - was the difference between Verstappen leaving Japan as a double world champion, or having to go to the next race in the USA needing to gain one point on Leclerc and Perez to seal it.
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Even Verstappen asked: "Are you sure?" when he was told he was champion, reflecting the historical precedent that reduced points are awarded in such circumstances.
But it seems that this protocol was inadvertently left out of the rules when they were rewritten over last winter following the controversial Belgian Grand Prix, when a result was declared despite no racing taking place.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said this was "a mistake" and he was "certain" the rules would be revised over the winter.
There can, however, be no question marks about the validity of Verstappen's championship, after he secured his 12th victory of the season in the same manner as he has taken control of the championship, by being a class apart from everyone else in his Red Bull car.
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     "It's crazy, very mixed emotions," said Verstappen, who was told of Leclerc's penalty and his title victory during the podium interviews conducted by former F1 driver Johnny Herbert.
"Winning the championship, what a year we've had. It's incredible!
"I'm so thankful to everyone who's been contributing to the success, the whole team has been working flat out. Beside that, the work we did with Honda every year, constantly improving, gets very emotional especially here. I'm very proud we could do it here.
"The first is more emotional but the second is more beautiful. We're leading the constructors so we want to focus on that, to secure that."
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     The race was marred by a controversy over officials deploying a recovery vehicle on to the track while cars were still running after a crash on the first lap.
Drivers and team bosses united to call the decision from race control "unacceptable", eight years after Jules Bianchi lost his life after crashing into a tractor on the track.
The race was stopped shortly afterwards, leading to a two-hour delay while officials waited for the persistent rain to ease sufficiently for racing to resume.

Even Verstappen asked: "Are you sure?" when he was told he was champion, reflecting the historical precedent that reduced points are awarded in such circumstances.
But it seems that this protocol was inadvertently left out of the rules when they were rewritten over last winter following the controversial Belgian Grand Prix, when a result was declared despite no racing taking place.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said this was "a mistake" and he was "certain" the rules would be revised over the winter.
There can, however, be no question marks about the validity of Verstappen's championship, after he secured his 12th victory of the season in the same manner as he has taken control of the championship, by being a class apart from everyone else in his Red Bull car.

"It's crazy, very mixed emotions," said Verstappen, who was told of Leclerc's penalty and his title victory during the podium interviews conducted by former F1 driver Johnny Herbert.
"Winning the championship, what a year we've had. It's incredible!
"I'm so thankful to everyone who's been contributing to the success, the whole team has been working flat out. Beside that, the work we did with Honda every year, constantly improving, gets very emotional especially here. I'm very proud we could do it here.
"The first is more emotional but the second is more beautiful. We're leading the constructors so we want to focus on that, to secure that."

The race was marred by a controversy over officials deploying a recovery vehicle on to the track while cars were still running after a crash on the first lap.
Drivers and team bosses united to call the decision from race control "unacceptable", eight years after Jules Bianchi lost his life after crashing into a tractor on the track.
The race was stopped shortly afterwards, leading to a two-hour delay while officials waited for the persistent rain to ease sufficiently for racing to resume.
