Before Mrs Justice Arden.

In re Norditrack (UK) Ltd

Insolvency - time of commencement of voluntary liquidation - presumption

Presumption in voluntary liquidation

The presumption contained in section 86 of the Insolvency Act 1986 as to the time of commencement of a voluntary liquidation, namely at the time of the passing of the resolution for voluntary winding up, had the effect that there was no power to ensure that the liquidation occurred immediately on discharge of the administration by passing resolutions for voluntary liquidation conditionally on the court making the order for discharge.

Mrs Justice Arden so held in the Chancery Division hearing an application by the administrator of Norditrack (UK) Ltd for the discharge of the administration order prior to the company entering voluntary winding up.
