Trading an insolvent company—checklist

Trading an insolvent company—checklist The decision to trade on is not a decision which an insolvency practitioner (IP) can make in isolation.

These other stakeholders include: • customers—required to commit to continue to buy from the company • suppliers—required to commit to continue to supply the company • employees—required to commit to carry on their duties with the company, and • potential purchasers—required because without a purchaser the continued trading will not lead to enhanced realisations The checklist below covers most of the key areas that an IP must focus on when trading a business.

There are four key words to keep in mind at all times from the moment an IP takes over: • control—establish the whereabouts of all assets/premises • secure—change locks, alarm codes and passwords • insure—notify insurance brokers who insure assets for IPs...

In relation to promissory notes, is it possible to record the discharge of the note obligations in manuscript on the note itself? Does the release wording need to acknowledge the manner in which the note obligations were discharged? Would an agreement for the note obligations to be transferred to a specific party and discharged by way of set-off undermine their legal status as promissory notes? We refer you to the following which you may find useful for your purposes. • Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes (2000) 5 JIBFL 168 As the above article discusses, many instruments which are called a promissory note fail to meet the statutory criteria for being a promissory note eg because there is a floating rate of interest or other payment obligation which makes the amount to be paid by the obligor not a sum certain.

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved?

What is the position of a security holder if the company that created the security is dissolved? This Q&A focuses on the impact the dissolution of a security provider can have on the ability of a security holder to effectively enforce its security. It also considers the position of a receiver appointed by the security holder prior to the dissolution of the relevant company. Summary If a security provider is dissolved as a matter of English law it is normally still possible for the security holder to enforce the security it holds by exercising the mortgagee’s power of sale. There may be circumstances in any particular case that make an application to restore the dissolved company to the register desirable to protect the security holder’s position. Circumstances where this issue commonly arises The problems associated with a security provider being dissolved while security is in force occur most often in real estate finance and other asset finance transactions. Typically, these issues arise where a special purpose...

Pay now argue later? (ATG Services (Scotland) Ltd v Ogilvie Construction Ltd)

Construction analysis: In October 2024, the Court of Session enforced an adjudicator's award against Ogilvie Construction Ltd. This award followed ‘sSmash and Grab’ adjudication proceedings where ATG sought payment of an application for payment in the sum of circa £1.1m—the notified sum. Ogilvie argued that the award was unenforceable as the adjudicator had materially breached the rules of natural justice in reaching his decision. Ogilvie was unsuccessful in defending the enforcement action in court. Indeed, their defence was said to have been ‘frivolous’. Much was written about this judgement at the time. However, while it is true that the court will enforce Adjudicator's awards, contractors (or payer's) are likely to continue to challenge them, particularly when large sums of money are involved which a party feels is not due. Written by Erica Johnston, senior associate at Brodies LLP.
