Restructuring & Insolvency analysis: A recent decision of the Court of Session has considered the proper approach of the court to an application under section 167(3) of the Insolvency Act 1986 (IA 1986) which sought to have the liquidator directed by the court to bring a challenge to an agricultural tenancy notice.
