Corporate Insolvency
A creditor may issue a statutory demand and apply to the Court to appoint a Liquidator to an insolvent company. Alternatively, the shareholders of a company may resolve that a company be wound up and that a Liquidator be appointed. A Liquidator’s role is to investigate the property and affairs of the company. If there are sufficient company assets available, or if monies can be recovered into the company, then a dividend may be paid to creditors.
