Trying to impress my dreaded Company Law lecturer - Help Please!!

    Hi, I have possibly the most coniving and sadistic Company Law lecturer on the planet and this semester I'm trying to impress her as I need a good grade in this to get my 2:1 degree and for Accounting exam exemptions in case the whole solicitor career plan goes belly up.

    She has said that she is really impressed by current awareness, as in knowing about developments and case law more recent than the books. I've searched the usual search engines and so forth but I'm not seeing anything groundbreaking.

    I'm looking in particular at Liquidators, Receivers and Examiners. I overheard someone talking about a case in relation to liquidators, I think it might have been called Danniger or something along those lines?

    If anyone has any interesting cases or help to offer I'd be eternally grateful. This woman needs to be impressed for once to wipe that smug grin off her face!! :rolleyes::)

    Thanks,
    dee8839

    Best piece of advice - buy the Sunday Business Post every week, it's a goldmine for all that sort of stuff

    You could mention something along the lines of judges tightening up on granting examinerships - for smaller companies if an examinership is granted on too lenient a basis and it goes belly up, there are considerable costs for the company involved especially when liquidator costs are put on top of that. Judges in the past seemed to have been swayed somewhat in granting examinerships by the wish to save jobs, among other things.

    Farrell Grant Sparks have some interesting figures on examinerships, receiverships and liquidations.

    Is this for an exam or an essay?

    It's for my final exam, which is in essay form. We think Liquidators is going to come up as a compulsory 40% essay, which is HORRIBLE! Thanks for the help, will have a look at the papers tomorrow.

    The only thing that springs to mind about Danniger recently was that a winding up petition was brought against them for a disputed debt. They settled it and things went no further.

    Nothing really landmark about it, there's nothing to speed up payment quite like a 7 day notice of winding up proceedings.
