    Company insolvencies at highest level since financial crisis
    2023-11-01

    The Insolvency Service released the quarterly insolvency statistics for July - September 2023 on 31 October, painting a picture of growing corporate distress. This period saw a total of 6,208 company insolvencies, which together with Q2 2023 marks the highest number of quarterly insolvencies since the midst of the financial crisis in 2009.

    Although a comparison with Q2 figures shows a slight reduction of 2% in overall insolvencies, the figures for Q3 showed a marked rise in both compulsory liquidations (14% up on Q2) and administrations (11% higher than Q2).

    2023-11-01

This judgment follows an appeal by Robert Palmer against a finding that he was criminally liable for his failure to submit form HR1 in his capacity as the joint administrator of West Coast Capital (USC) Limited (USC).

    With the passing of the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act (MTSA) (likely to pass into law in 2024) the way in which we take security over rights and assets in Scotland will be brought firmly into the 21st century, doing away with the need to rely on statutes from as long ago as 1862 and a smattering of case law which has fostered uncertainty in the market for almost as long.
