Director Disqualification - rhw Solicitors, Guildford, Surrey

If you are a director and have been threatened with disqualification, our team can help explain the implications and the options available to you.

A director can be disqualified for various reasons, including wrongful trading, fraudulent trading or behaviour adjudged to be ‘unfit’ conduct. Failing to adhere to your duties as a director can result in an investigation and disqualification in certain circumstances.

Disqualification is dealt with by the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (CDDA).

You are very unlikely to be disqualified if your company is insolvent or goes into liquidation. You would only be at risk if you had acted fraudulently, wrongfully or stupidly (as defined by the Act or party making the accusation).
