Devastation Caused by Liquidation of IntegrityIain Stamp
The ongoing investigation by the FSA of Integrity Financial Solutions Ltd. is causing huge damage to the company's business and reputation. Mr. and Mrs. Stamp currently hold significant positions within Integrity and a letter from the FSA to Chaser Capital states that "As there is an ongoing investigation by the FSA into Integrity Financial Solutions Ltd., where Mr and Mrs stamp currently hold roles of a significant influence, permissions is unable to be satisfied that Mr and Mrs stamp are fit and proper whilst the investigation is ongoing".
The Complaints Commissioner rejected the complaint on 21st December 2018 during the first phase of the matter regarding Integrity’s Final Notice and the series of failed licence applications made by it.The FCA Complaints Commissioner was also pleaded for a decision in February 2019; however, a reply stated that the Complaints Commissioner was short–staffed, which justified why even after 10 months, there was still no decision.A judicial review has been requested to specifically know why the FCA agreed to a deal with a dishonest liquidator who accepted the FSA allegations.
Why did Margaret Cole not want to review the Integrity Censure, which only happened as there was an agreement between the FSA and Peter Yeldon, a dishonest liquidator? Peter Yeldon accepted the deal with Tom Spender to avoid costs and enable himself to defraud Integrity, its shareholders and creditors. The legal team wants a review of why the FSA would not reopen the matter as the censure is inept. The entire scenario is in extreme turmoil, to say the least.

The bribery act the changing face of corporate liabilityWhite & Case
Five years since its inception, the UK Bribery Act has
significantly raised the bar on corporate liability and
shaken up existing rules on tackling corruption.
CBI Northern Ireland Bribery Seminar 17 January 2013
The Bribery Act came into force on 1st July 2011 with potentially far reaching consequences for private and public sector organisations. The new Director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), David Green QC, has signaled a rougher new approach to dealing with companies suspected of paying bribes to win work. Recently, the SFO issued revised statements of policy relating to its implementation of the Bribery Act 2010.
This breakfast briefing will consider the background to these and summarizes the changes to previous statements of SFO policy, principally in relation to self-reporting. In addition, there will be clarification of the Bribery Act legislation, addressing some of the challenges it has created around accepting hospitality, doing business abroad, offering clients gifts as well as exploring how the Act works in practice, especially in “grey areas”.
North American countries have implemented anti-corruption laws. Should other areas adopt such practices? What impact would such laws have on business in a region?
Guide to The Bribery Act 2010 by Josiah HincksJosiahHincks
The Bribery Act 2010 came in to force in the UK in July 2011.
It creates criminal offences for individuals who give or receive bribes.
It also creates an offence for Companies and Partnerships who fail to prevent bribery occuring. The fines are unlimited.
This slide show from Josiah Hincks Solicitors in Leicester presents everything you need to know about Bribery, The Bribery Act, and how to ensure your business is compliant.

Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution partners Karen Reynolds and Claire McLoughlin co-author the Ireland chapter of the International Comparative Legal Guide to Business Crime.
The Bribery Act updates the existing UK laws on bribery offences and also creates some new ones, including the strict liability corporate offence of ‘failing to prevent bribery’. Helpfully, however, the Government’s guidance published in support of the Act recommends certain risk-based procedures that commercial organisations should put in place to avoid being caught out by the new corporate offence.
Bribery occurs when someone offers, seeks or accepts a payment, gift or favour that influences a business outcome improperly. Designed to reform the criminal law of bribery, the 2010 Act covers the offences of bribing another person and accepting a bribe. It also expands the law to create a new offence for commercial organisations of failing to prevent bribery by associated persons acting on the organisation’s behalf anywhere in the world.
Get it wrong and the penalties are severe. Organisations prosecuted for the new corporate offence which have failed to implement a programme designed to prevent bribery could be hit with an unlimited fine and serious reputational damage. Directors, senior managers, the company secretary or other similar officers at these organisations can also face a 10-year prison sentence and/or an unlimited fine for offences under the Act. With the Act now in force, it is crucial for businesses to avoid falling foul of the new legislation.
Wragge & Co’s experts are on hand to guide organisations through the new rules and to advise on how best to mitigate the risks posed by them. In this guide they provide answers to the burning Bribery Act questions, plus useful points to consider when assessing risk. Finally, for those with an anti-bribery policy now in place, take a look at our handy checklist to identify any potential loopholes.
This presentation discusses new federal legislation to protect trade secrets and provides concrete, pragmatic advice about how to respond to this new development.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
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.
