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. It is important to get commitment to trading on from the other stakeholders who need to be involved. 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. Good levels of communication and control are essential from day one of a trading job. 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...

Can automatic number plate recognition be used for enforcement in a local authority owned car park?

Can automatic number plate recognition be used for enforcement in a local authority owned car park? In principle, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) can be used for enforcement in a local authority car park but there are caveats as to use that may provide a basis for challenge. Accordingly, the answer is not straightforward and is dependent on various factors. On the assumption the question concerns regulated public on or off-street car parks, there are two distinct areas of legislation that apply: • the criminal law regime whereby enforcement is governed by the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (RTRA 1984), and • the civil law regime for a civil or special enforcement area (C/SEA) whereby enforcement is governed by the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA 2004) and contravention is subject to the law of contract As a pre-requisite under either regime, the car park should be created under proper powers in accordance with RTRA 1984. Prior to deployment, the local authority must satisfy itself that the device is approved and...

Does a further education corporation have to appear on the PSC register of its wholly-owned subsidiary?

Does a further education corporation have to appear on the PSC register of its wholly-owned subsidiary? The people with significant control (PSC) regime applies to UK incorporated companies limited by shares or guarantee (including unlimited companies, unregistered companies, community interest companies and dormant companies), LLPs, and eligible Scottish partnerships (Scottish limited partnerships and Scottish qualifying general partnerships). The requirement to maintain a PSC register does not apply to certain other entities, such as English limited partnerships, co-operative or community benefit societies or charitable incorporated organisations, but if they have a trading subsidiary it may be that the subsidiary needs to maintain its own register. Further education corporations (FEC) and sixth form college corporations are typically classified as 'exempt' charities. For further information on their status and governance see Department of Education: Further education corporations and sixth-form college corporations: governance guide. As noted in Q&A: How are charities handled under the PSC regime? if a charitable entity is considered a relevant legal entity (RLE) for...
