    In an estate which is privatley managed what would the impact be if a person who was NOT a director of the management company (but was previously many years ago) signed the contract lease on a property? The current directors at the time had no knowledge of the sale going through.

    IF such a person who signed the lease was still a director of the building company who built the estate but the building company was in receiver ship would they have any residual rights to undertake such powers as the developer acting as the management company?

    Why would anyone do something like that?

    I can't say with any certainity but I imagine the document was just pushed onto their desk and they were told they had to sign it.

    Is there any recourse for such action? The ODCE? Would this constitute fraud in any sense as they are essentially impersonating a director.

    Link.
    In receivership, the company’s powers and the authority of its directorsare suspended in relation to the assets affected by the receivership. The directors can only use those powers with the receiver’s permission.

    If you are put at a disadvantage by this, it may be in your interests to employ a solicitor.

    If there is a management company, it might finance the solicitor.
