More on Claims Against Directors

What are the common types of insolvency litigation?

The common types of insolvency litigation include preference claims, wrongful trading claims, fraudulent trading claims, and misfeasance claims. Preference claims involve recovering payments made to creditors before the insolvency, while wrongful trading claims involve directors continuing to trade when they knew or should have known the company was insolvent. Fraudulent trading claims involve directors knowingly carrying on business with the intent to defraud creditors, and misfeasance claims involve directors breaching their duties and causing loss to the company.
