    Government to push ahead with bank accounts for bankrupts reform
    2012-12-14

    The Government has fed back on the responses to DBIS’s consultation on the effect of bankruptcy on the ability to access a basic bank account. Responses to the consultation have shown that only 27% of people subject to a bankruptcy order are able to retain their bank account. A bank's decision not to offer a bank account to a bankrupt is mainly based on the bankrupt's credit record, rather than on the risk of the trustee making a claim against the bank, a risk that the consultation process has shown is more perceived than real.

    Commission approves Northern Rock split
    2009-10-30

    The Commission has agreed a plan to split Northern Rock into two banks, a “good” and a “bad” one. The “good” bank will carry on the economic activities of Northern Rock and the “bad” one will be an asset management company that will run down the remaining business. The Commission found the UK Government had kept state aid to a minimum in planning the restructuring. Treasury is pleased with the approval, which it says will allow Northern Rock to return to the mortgage markets while the back book of mortgages is managed separately.

    Is there any value left in floating charges?
    2011-03-08

    Where lenders rely on floating charge security to make recoveries from companies in administration, some recent cases have massively increased the potential for administration expenses to swallow up those recoveries. The more well-known cases could just be the start. So, what are the potential risks? What can lenders do in the face of the law as it currently stands? What is going to happen next?
