UK: DIRECTORS’ DUTIES SURVIVE COMPANY INSOLVENCY, RULES HIGH COURT

An article from Out-Law on 28 February said that the High Court has ruled that a director’s fiduciary duties survive a company’s entry into administration or voluntary liquidation.  In the case in question, a liquidator was successful in his application in respect of company property sold at undervalue and payments made after the company entered administration.  The decision confirms that, while a director’s powers cease on insolvency, their fiduciary duties remain – even when not exercising those powers themselves.
