"It's hard to quantify, right now. But at a guess, I'd say it's probably more than 50% faster, at times. It's literally that quick. We've found to be an essential practical tool. We're very satisfied."

A subsidiary company is a company which is subsidiary of another company called the holding company.
A subsidiary company is one of the following: (1) a company in which the majority of its voting rights are held by a holding company; (2) where another company is a member of the subsidiary company and has the right to appoint or remove a majority of the board of directors of the subsidiary company; (3) where another company is a member of the subsidiary company and controls alone, pursuant to an agreement with other members, a majority of the voting rights in the subsidiary company; (4) where it is a subsidiary to another subsidiary company as defined by (1), (2) or (3).

STOP PRESS: A significant restructuring of the UK listing regime came into effect on 29 July 2024 which included the removal of the premium and standard listing segments and the creation of a single listing category for equity shares in commercial companies. The commercial companies category is heavily disclosure-based and sits alongside other listing categories such as the shell companies, secondary listing and closed ended investment fund categories. A new UK Listing Rules sourcebook came into force to implement the changes and the previous Listing Rules sourcebook was revoked. For further information, see Practice Note: Reform of the UK listing regime鈥攆undamentals.

A parent company is not responsible for the acts or omissions of its subsidiary simply by virtue of its status as parent. Each subsidiary has separate corporate responsibility and any intention to pierce the corporate veil must be clearly and unequivocally expressed in the statute.However, a parent company can be fixed with liability if its knowledge of, and ability to, intervene in the affairs of the subsidiary are sufficient to create a duty of care towards any person suffering damage or injury due to the subsidiary's acts or omissions. Crucially, if a parent company has 'superior knowledge' about the nature and management of particular risks, and is aware of a 'systemic failure' on the part of its subsidiary, then the court may be willing to find a duty of care. It is more likely to do so if the subsidiary:鈥as been dissolved鈥as limited financial strength, and/or鈥oes not have insurance cover in relation to the relevant type of damage or injurySuch circumstances may arise where the parent company:鈥as taken direct responsibility...

Can the board of a parent company make decisions for its wholly owned subsidiary? This Q&A considers whether the board of a parent company is able to make decisions for its wholly owned subsidiary or whether the subsidiary鈥檚 board would need to pass resolutions where both companies have adopted the model articles for private companies limited by shares. Produced in partnership with Georgina Fraser, Lewis Silkin LLP. The directors of a company are responsible for the day-to-day management of that company. The directors are so empowered by the company鈥檚 articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), any applicable resolutions of its members and common law. These powers are limited by any restrictions or limitations in the company鈥檚 articles of association, directors鈥 general duties under CA 2006, ss 171鈥177, and matters reserved to the members by the CA 2006 (ie, matters which require shareholder approval such as company transactions with directors).

A bank is granting a charge to a holding company, but a wholly owned subsidiary will be occupying the freehold premises owned by the holding company until they are transferred to the subsidiary later in the year as part of a larger restructure. Is a lease between the holding and subsidiary company required or desired in these circumstances? It would be prudent for the holding company and the subsidiary to enter into some form of short term lease to cover the period before assignment. It may be possible to use a section 43(3) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (LTA 1954) agreement, but the preferable option would be a lease with a fixed term of a year with a rolling landlord break option and contracted out of LTA 1954. This arrangement would allow further time for the restructuring and assignments to take place at a later date, while ensuring security and clarity for all parties involved. The

Arbitration analysis: This decision concerns the plaintiffs鈥 (Company A and Company B) request for injunctive relief under section 45 of the Arbitration Ordinance (Cap 609) against the defendant (Company C) and its wholly owned subsidiary (D/WOS) in aid of an ongoing arbitration at the International Centre for Dispute Resolution of the American Arbitration Association (ICDR-AAA) (the Tribunal). Further to an announcement on the Shanghai Stock Exchange made by D/WOS that it intended to dispose of its equity interest in the defendant, the plaintiffs asserted that the defendant intended to transfer its assets fraudulently such that it would render any arbitration award meaningless. The plaintiffs first applied to the Tribunal for emergency relief, and with the Tribunal鈥檚 agreement then applied to the Hong Kong Court for equivalent injunctive relief to restrain the defendant from transferring its assets to D/WOS and a Mareva injunction to prevent the defendant disposing of its assets (the Injunctions). The Hong Kong Court鈥檚 robust decision to grant these Injunctions highlights the importance of interim relief measures in...
