When a creditor applies to the court for compulsory liquidation (court-ordered liquidation) of an insolvent company, the court appoints a „provisional liquidator“ to temporarily preserve the company`s assets while the application for liquidation is pending. [1] [2] Directors must be registered liquidators, as they have broad powers to manage the corporation`s assets. The appointment of a director „freezes“ all legal proceedings against the company and control of the company is completely transferred to the director. Directors of the company are prohibited from acting in their capacity as directors during the administration, while directors are personally liable for all debts incurred by the company during the administration. [4] Once the Royal Court has made an administrative order, the insolvency practitioner must immediately address the order in writing to the corporation and notify in writing all creditors of the corporation, the Registrar and, in the case of a supervised entity, the Board within 28 days of the date of the order. A pre-pack is the process of selling a company`s assets immediately after its bankruptcy. Sometimes the previous directors or management purchase the assets of the corporation from the director and create a new corporation. This process has advantages in that it allows the insolvency practitioner to realize a higher amount for assets due to business continuity and to maintain the goodwill of the business. The company`s employees are usually also transferred to the new company, which preserves jobs. The pre-packages were criticized for giving the impression that the company had just moved on without its creditors.
SIP 16 was introduced in January 2009 to assist insolvency practitioners in pre-packaging cases. [9] It should make the process more transparent for creditors and ensure that the fair value of assets is determined. Once an application for an administrative order has been filed, a moratorium prevents unsecured creditors from initiating or continuing proceedings against the company and any existing application for liquidation of the company is rejected. In addition, the company can only be liquidated (neither by its shareholders nor by the court) with the approval of the Royal Court (although a new application for liquidation of the company may be filed with the court). When a company goes into liquidation, it is because the end of the road is reached and all that remains is to liquidate all the remaining assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors. An administration ends automatically after one year; However, the insolvency practitioner may ask the court to extend this period by a certain period of time. Under the Companies Entry into Force (Amendment) Act, 1988, the central government establishes a body in the announcement of the Official Gazette, known as the Legal Administration of the Board of Directors. Voluntary administration occurs when the directors of an insolvent corporation appoint an outside director to determine whether the dissolution of the corporation can be avoided or delayed, and to make recommendations to directors and their creditors as to whether the corporation should enter into a partnership agreement, be wound up (i.e., liquidated) or be returned to the control of the directors.
[2] After the appointment of a director, two meetings of creditors are held, which are held within tight deadlines, the second being the most important, as it decides to enter into a deed of partnership (DOCA), to terminate administration or to liquidate the company. [3] The DOCA is a binding agreement between a company and its creditors, overseen by a deed administrator on how the company`s assets are managed to ensure better returns for its creditors than an immediate liquidation. [1] From a manager`s perspective, administration may appear attractive, especially if directors have provided personal guarantees or are concerned that their decisions leading to insolvency may be questionable. However, administration may not be possible or feasible and, as in all insolvency situations, early advice is essential to protect creditors and demonstrate the commitment of directors to do the right thing. Once a director is appointed, the royal court takes an oath to act not only as a director of the company, but also as an official of the royal court. As noted above, joint appointments are permissible and the Tribunal may order that public servants may act jointly or alone. Following the adoption of the hearing and ancillary orders, MIL`s activities were regularly transferred to the new company against payment of an amount equal to the amount due to MIL`s creditors (including accrued interest) and the amount payable for administrative costs and the composition plan. The creditors were paid in full and the IME was dissolved shortly thereafter. The new company in the British Virgin Islands now operates the former MIL business with significant cost savings and much more investor support to get it through today`s turbulent economic climate.

If this happens after that, the insolvency practitioner will usually restructure the business to improve its overall situation before putting it on the open market. In Australia, an external director, also known as an insolvency administrator, is an independent person formally appointed to control the affairs of an insolvent company. External directors may be appointed either by the directors of the company, by a secured creditor or by a court and may include: provisional liquidators, liquidators, voluntary administrators, administrators of deeds, controllers and insolvency practitioners. [1] Receivership occurs when an outside director, called an insolvency practitioner, is appointed by a secured creditor to sell a company`s assets to pay off secured debts, or by the court to protect the company`s assets or perform other duties. [1] An administrative request may be made against a company by the company itself (or, in the case of a CCI or PCC, by the relevant CCI or PCC), its directors or members or a creditor in accordance with Section 375 of the German Companies Act. In addition, if the company is supervised, the Guernsey Financial Services Commission may make the application. The court will sit down with the jury to rule on the motion. Most applications are heard by the ordinary court, which takes place about twice a month, on Tuesday mornings, although urgent applications are considered by the Royal Court (sometimes at short notice, depending on the availability of the judge and juror) at the written request of a lawyer setting out the reasons for the urgent hearing of an application.
