Can liquidators or their firms dealing with a members’ voluntary liquidation limit their liability? (Pagden v Fry)

Restructuring & Insolvency analysis: This case concerns the question of whether liquidators or their firms dealing with a members’ voluntary liquidation can limit their liability in their terms of engagement. The claimants’ primary argument was that it is impossible for a liquidator to limit their liability because there is no express power within the legislative and regulatory framework to allow a limitation of their liability. The court held that, while liquidators’ firms and the employees of those firms may place some reliance on limitation clauses in respect of separate contractual or tortious obligations, liquidators themselves cannot limit their statutory obligations which arise out of statutory trust. This decision emphasises the importance of liquidators’ statutory duties, and that such duties cannot be allowed to be eroded by contractual limitation clauses. Written by Robyn Engstrom, associate at Trowers & Hamlins LLP.
