Tuesday, 23 November 2010
The European Commission (EC) has published a report on the European Company Statute and how it works for business. The Statute gives companies operating in more than one Member State the option of establishing themselves as a single company under EU law, allowing companies to operate across the European Union with one set of rules. Such companies are known as Societas Europaea (SE). The report is part of the review process of the SE Regulation and sets out its positive and negative factors of SEs, highlights trends on their distribution and analyses the problems encountered setting up SEs.

Abstract

 

Company – Administration order. The Chancery Division of the High Court allowed the administrators' appeal against a decision of the registrar that the guarantors of a loan to a company were entitled to apply to remove the administrators pursuant to para 88 of Sch B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986. The court took the view that the registrar's concern at the consequences for the guarantors of the administrators' decision was not enough to justify the order she had made.
