WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
Car Accident Injury Do I Have a Case....Knowyourright
Every year, thousands of Minnesotans are injured in car accidents. These injuries can be severe – even life-changing. Under Minnesota law, you can pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
2. What is defamation?
In simple terms;
If a defamatory statement is written or in a permanent form
= libel
If spoken or temporary form = slander.
3. Definition of a defamatory statement
If it tends to do any one of the following:
• Expose the person to hatred, ridicule or
contempt;
• Cause the person to be shunned or avoided;
• Lower the person in the estimation of right-
thinking members of society generally;
• Disparage the person in his/her business, trade,
office or profession.
4. Beware of gossip
• You can defame someone if you republish comments
made or published by someone else.
• Don’t assume it is safe, just because someone else has
written or broadcast it.
5. What does publication mean?
•
• Via newspapers or other printed media
• Broadcasting on radio and TV
• On the web - including online forums, social media and
micro-blogging sites
• By email.
6. A reasonable man or woman?
The test of what the words actually mean is the test of what
a reasonable person would take them to mean.
7. Innuendo and inference
Words may carry an innuendo, a ‘hidden’ meaning clear to
people with special knowledge or create an inference,
obvious to everybody.
Eg
“Boy Slim was seen swaying as he left the Amsterdam bar
with a friend in Kemp Town.”
8. The chilling effect
• Punitive – could exceed £1 million
• It is up to the journalist and publication to prove truth
• Can be sued whether you are the writer, editor or
publisher.
• Can be sued if you are online, in print, or publishing your
church newsletter
9. New laws launched this year
• The Defamation Act 2013 came into effect in England
and Wales on 1 January 2014.
• Claimants have to prove ‘serious harm’ to their reputation.
• Such as ‘serious financial loss’ if a company.
• Individuals have to prove “serious harm”.
10. Don’t say
It is no defence to say;
‘I’ve heard it’s true.’
‘I didn’t mean to be horrible.’
‘It was only a joke.’
The court assumes it is false, doesn’t care if it was
intentional or not, and doesn’t have much of a sense of
humour.
11. Tests for defamation
• Identification – it must refer to them or seem to refer to
them.
• Publication – it must have been published in print or
online to a third party.
• Is defamatory.
12. Your defence
• Justification/ Truth
• Fair comment /Honest opinion
• Absolute privilege
• Publication in the public interest
13. Defences
• The main ones are:
• Truth - the publisher must prove the comments are true.
• Honest opinion - the opinion must be genuinely held and
based on fact.
• Privilege – only under certain circumstances.
• Publication in the public interest - a new defence.
14. Truth
Take notes or a tape recording
Back up any claims if possible
Ensure your source is reliable and will stick by their story
Get them to sign a statement if possible
15. Honest opinion
It must be;
•on a matter of public interest,
•based on facts which are true
•recognisable as comment
16. Example of honest opinion
A restaurant or theatre review is a classic example of a
publication which may be protected by fair comment.
Not – “He’s a terrible chef.”
But
“I think he’s a terrible chef because my meal was burnt
when I ate there last week.”
17. Public interest
Editors can use the defence if :
•they can prove the subject was on a matter of public
interest,
•they reasonably believed that publishing was in the public
interest.
• the story was balanced and neutral and thorough steps
were taken to verify the facts.
18. Is it public interest?
• As Lord Hoffman observed “the public tends to be
interested in many things which are not of the slightest
public interest.”
19. Privilege
Absolute privilege – you can report what is said even if it
is untrue.
• Court cases
• Some tribunals
• Parliament – absolute privilege to MP’s and peers
• Peer-reviewed statement in scientific or academic journal
20. Defamation online – new laws
• it is a defence to show that it was not the website
publisher who posted the statement on the website.
• The defence is defeated if the writer cannot be traced.
• Or the claimant was ignored when they complained.
21. Stop and think
These phrases are usually defamatory. If you say a person
is:
A liar,
A cheat
Is insolvent
In financial difficulties
22. Check your facts
Think twice before accusing someone of being:
• Immoral
• Dishonest
• Corrupt
• Incompetent
• Guilty of a crime
• Producer of shoddy facts
23. Steer clear
Of saying someone is:
•Having an affair
•Taking illegal drugs
•An alcoholic
•A paedophile
•A murderer
•A hypocrite
•A rapist
Unless you can absolutely prove it with rock-
solid evidence!
24. Check their pockets
• Suing for libel can cost a lot of money.
Be careful if you are dealing with a rich person, celebrity or
big company.
• No win, no fee.
These days some lawyers offer this for libel cases making
action more available for all.
25. Finally
• Use your common sense.
If you are concerned about putting something in a
report.
Ask
Is it true?
Can I prove it?
Can I back up my facts and rely on my sources?
Is it essential to report?
