How disqualification works

The Insolvency Service may investigate your company (or you personally as a director of your company) if it바카라 사이트™s involved in insolvency proceedings or if there바카라 사이트™s been a complaint.

If they think you haven바카라 사이트™t followed your legal responsibilities as a director, they바카라 사이트™ll tell you in writing:

• what they think you바카라 사이트™ve done that makes you unfit to be a director
• they intend to start the disqualification process
• how you can respond

You can either:

• wait for The Insolvency Service to take you to court to disqualify you - you can defend the case in court if you disagree with The Insolvency Service
• give The Insolvency Service a 바카라 사이트˜disqualification undertaking바카라 사이트™ - this means you voluntarily disqualify yourself and ends court action against you

You may want to get legal advice if you get a letter about disqualification from The Insolvency Service.

Apart from The Insolvency Service, other bodies can apply to have you disqualified under certain circumstances, for example:

• Companies House
• the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
• the courts
