Validity of Appointment Advice
The process around appointing an insolvency practitioner, administrator or liquidator for a business is a technical one that needs to be carried out absolutely in accordance with requirements.
More about Validity of Appointment Advice
If it turns out that the appointment made isn't valid, it can result in legal action being taken by another party involved in the situation. This can be a costly and time-consuming complication that can usually be avoided if the original appointment is carried out appropriately.
At Forbes, we are specialists in business insolvency and can provide expert advice on appointments of insolvency practitioners, administrators or liquidators to ensure that the correct processes are followed, and the necessary requirements fulfilled.
Why might the validity of appointment be challenged?
There are several different grounds by which someone might challenge the validity of the appointment of an insolvency office holder, but the party most likely to do so is one of the creditors.
In many cases, the insolvency practitioner is appointed by the company's director(s) (if the liquidation is voluntary) or creditors. They must be licensed, as they are then regulated by a professional body.
If one of the creditors who didn't appoint the insolvency practitioner disagrees with a decision or course of action that they take, they may wish to challenge this under the legal system.
Whether you are the insolvency practitioner and want legal advice in the event of a challenge or a potential future challenge, or are a creditor wishing to challenge the validity of an appointment, Forbes can help.
