Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., parent of the firm that went bankrupt during the 2008 financial crisis, is seeking to reverse a U.K. ruling that would cut recoveries for its creditors. 

LBHI and another unit of the lender are asking the U.K.’s highest court to review an October decision that pushed the parent company further back in line to be repaid as part of U.K.-based insolvency proceedings. There are still hundreds of millions of dollars at stake.
