    2023-01-18

    Broadly, the end of life options for a solvent Cayman Islands company are either a voluntary liquidation or a strike-off.

The company should ideally have no assets or liabilities before the commencement of either option.

    Preliminary steps

    Company Personality and Insolvency
    2023-01-16

    How is the function of a company’s separate personality altered by insolvency? And to what extent may that give rise to an action in civil fraud? Nicola Sharp of Rahman Ravelli outlines the situation.

    Since the end of the 19th century and the decision in Salomon v A Salomon and Co Ltd [1897] AC 22, it has been settled law that a company has its own separate personality.

    Bankruptcy in the UAE - Part 2 - Directors' Duties
    2023-01-12

    One of the most common ways of conducting business within the UAE is through an onshore limited liability company. Commercial companies incorporated onshore in the UAE have a separate legal personality.1 The company can enter into legally binding agreements in its own name and take on valid and binding obligations. Actions of the directors of a company, on behalf of such a company, generally bind the company.2 Generally, any liabilities resulting from those actions are for the account of the company, rather than for the account of the individual directors in their personal capacity.
