Trading a company in administration—the office-holder's point of view

Trading a company in administration—the office-holder's point of view Administration can be used for a variety of different reasons, but one of the main advantages is to use the benefit of the moratorium while trying to find a purchaser for the business. This gives a breathing space from pressing creditors while maintaining the value of the business in order to look for a purchaser. See Practice Note: The moratorium in administration. This Practice Note provides an overview on what practical issues the administrator will consider when deciding whether to trade a company in administration, and what practical considerations to take into account during the initial stages if they decide to go ahead. Advantages of trading for the company Trading for a short while can facilitate a sale of the business and/or assets on the open market, which may lead to better realisations for unsecured creditors than a liquidation and can enhance fixed security realisations. It opens the market up to all potential purchasers, whereas a pre-pack is by necessity a more closed process. See Practice Note: What is a pre-pack administration sale? In addition, a trading sale can save a lot of employee jobs. As a general rule, the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE 2006), SI 2006/246 apply and employees who are transferred into a new company upon the sale of the business will have continuity

Schemes of arrangement—process and statutory framework

Schemes of arrangement—process and statutory framework Schemes of arrangement—definition and basis in statute A scheme of arrangement is a court-sanctioned compromise between a company and its creditors or members. The subject of a scheme of arrangement may cover anything that the company and its members or creditors would not otherwise be able to agree between themselves; the scheme process allows such a compromise to be implemented without the support of 100% of the interested parties. The implementation of schemes of arrangement is governed by Part 26 of sections 895–907 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006), Pt 26, ss 895–901, although almost identical sections have existed for well over 100 years within the companies legislation in various forms. While CA 2006 does not prescribe the process specifically, it defines the process indirectly by prescribing the requirements for the court to sanction a proposed scheme (Re Rodenstock). It is mandatory to use electronic filing (e-filing) in all jurisdictions of the Rolls Building, which includes the Insolvency and Companies List (formerly the Bankruptcy and Companies Courts of the Chancery Division). It is no longer possible to issue claims or applications, or to file documents, on paper—instead all issuings and filings must be made online using the CE-File website.
