Directors Concerns

If a company fails, its Directors actions leading up to its failure will fall under scrutiny.

Any appointed Administrator or Liquidator is under a duty to review the events leading up to insolvency and report them to the Insolvency Service, who will then decide if disqualification proceedings are appropriate.

In addition, certain transactions that take place within a specified timeframe may be potentially recoverable or actionable, resulting in the appointed Insolvency Practitioner being obliged to pursue these for the benefit of creditors.

This means that Directors need to be extremely vigilant in terms of:

  • Justifying certain decisions that were made up to the date the business is deemed to have failed; and
  • Making sure that they do not undertake certain actions to which they could subsequently be brought to task.

What are the main considerations for a Director?

Wrongful Trading, Transactions at an Undervalue, Preferences and Misfeasance are collectively known as Antecedent Transactions. There are other types of Antecedent Transactions, such as Fraudulent Trading and Extortionate Credit Agreements. However, actions falling within those categories are more rare.
