Reviewable Transactions
If an individual has been bankrupt or a company has entered a formal insolvency process such as liquidation or administration, certain transactions that were made before the start of the insolvency may be at risk of being challenged and overturned under provisions in the Insolvency Act 1986.
Types of reviewable transactions include;
- Transactions at an undervalue
- Preferences
- Extortionate credit transactions
- Void transactions
- Avoidance of floating charges
- Transactions to defraud creditors
- Invalid floating charges
What should I do if a claim is made against me?
There can be serious consequences for directors if allegations of misconduct are proven including becoming liable for some or all of a company’s debts. Third parties who have benefited from the above transactions may also be required to repay sums back to the company or trustee in bankruptcy.,This is a complex area of law and it is advisable to seek advice from an experienced insolvency practitioner.
