Civil protection of company property from the conduct of directors in insolvent liquidation in Scotland

Alkhashroom, Abdulah Hussein January 1997 (has links)
This thesis is an attempt to trace the aspects of civil protection of company property from the conduct of directors in insolvent liquidation in Scotland. It emphasises the origin of the problem and the essential need to protect company property, particularly in public limited companies. This protection is required for two reasons. First, directors may abuse their powers and take advantage of the privilege of limited liability they enjoy. Second, the separation between ownership and control. There are several aspects of civil protection which are provided by the Insolvency Act 1986, the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 and the common law. Regarding civil protection after the commencement of an insolvent liquidation, the Insolvency Act protects company property: (1) by terminating all of the directors' powers in a creditors voluntary liquidation (s.103); (2) by avoiding dispositions of company property after the commencement of liquidation in a compulsory liquidation (s.127); (3) by making public and private examinations to investigate directors' conduct in their dealings with the company (ss. 133, 236 and 112); (4) by prohibiting directors from re-using the company's name (ss. 216-217) and (5) by disqualifying directors who are ordered by the court to contribute to the company's assets as a result of fraudulent and wrongful trading (s. 10 of the C.D.D.A. 1986) and those directors whose conduct makes them unfit to be concerned in the management of the company (s. 6 of the C.D.D.A. 1986). But to maximise this protection a provision should be added to provide that directors' powers should cease in a compulsory liquidation not only after the liquidation order but also after the appointment of a provisional liquidator except with the leave of the court. Section 127 should also extend to cover any disposition made after the making of a resolution to wind up the company voluntarily and before the appointment of the liquidator and after his appointment.

A comparative study of corporate rescue in the UK and Malaysia

Azmi, Ruzita January 2008 (has links)
It is now more than thirty years since the reform of corporate insolvency law in the United Kingdom (UK) focused on the promotion of a 'rescue culture,' a trend which started with the work of the Cork Committee chaired by Sir Kenneth Cork. The Cork Committee in its Report recommended encouraging the continuation and disposal of a corporate debtors' business as a going concern wherever possible, and the Government responded to Cork's recommendation by introducing Administration and Company Voluntary Arrangement ('CVA') in the Insolvency Act 1986 ('IA 1986'). The corporate insolvency laws in the UK have been subject to considerable scrutiny and reform, culminating in the implementation of two distinct but related nieces of legislation bearing upon corporate rescue; the Insolvency Act 2000 (IA 2000) and the Enterprise Act 2002 (EA).

Some attributes of South African incubators for new, independent, high-technology business ventures

08 August 2012 (has links)
M.Ing. / Sunter (1999:13) states "Unemployment is now the scourge of virtually every single nation." Sunter believes that unemployment or the creation of new jobs will be the responsibility of small businesses. If one however analyses the survival of new business ventures, failure is not the exception but the rule. According to literature 52% of all new business ventures are dissolved within the first four years of their existence and 63% within 6 years. Various publications on business incubators state that new business ventures that were incubated by business incubators demonstrated a success rate that is as high or higher than the failure rate of non-incubated new business ventures. A typical success rate of approximately 86% is quoted as the norm for these incubated ventures. The success rate can be attributed to the support provided by the incubators. The support and services provided by incubators consist typically of a range of products but the distinguishing attribute or feature is the support programme developed and tailored to meet the specific requirements of each individual organisation that joined the incubator. To ensure that jobs are created in South Africa it seems that incubators should be in a position to contribute much. The results of an evaluation of the achievements of seven of the highly visible incubators in South Africa, indicate that the flirtation with incubators resulted in very limited success. None of the seven examples were found to be very successful, but not all for the same reason. The aim of this dissertation is to identify some of the attributes that a high-technology incubator should possess to ensure success. The approach adopted was to: Define what a high-technology business incubator is. Identify the typical life-cycle of new ventures. Determine why new ventures fail. Determine the critical success factors of new ventures Determine the reasons for failure of South African high technology business ventures and incubators. Then based on the results of the above define some of the attributes a South African incubator should possess. The conclusion is that the attributes, excluding flexible lease space, shared business services and networking to the know-how network (technical) of the South African incubators are well developed. The following attributes were found lacking and should be fully developed: Education, training and information programmes; Networking to debt and equity capital and networking in general and Counselling and mentoring support. These attributes are those that will enable an incubator to develop and tailor support programmes to meet the specific requirements of individual firms. The South African environment is identified as being detrimental to the development of small new ventures and it was recommended that it should form the subject of further research.
