Abstract

The question for the House of Lords in Re Pantmaenog Timber Co Ltd, Official Receiver v Wadge Rapps and Hunt was whether the powers conferred by s.236 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (“IA”) can lawfully be exercised solely or principally to obtain evidence for use in disqualification proceedings under the Company Directors' Disqualification Act 1986 (“CDDA”). It is important to stress that the question was simply one of jurisdiction : on the application of an administrator, administrative receiver, liquidator, provisional liquidator or the official receiver does the court have the power to summon any of the categories of person described in s.236(2) to provide the applicant with information and/or documents where the information and/or documents are required solely or principally in connection with disqualification proceedings that are being contemplated or are already pending?
