Compulsory winding-up

Compulsory winding-up in Northern Ireland

A creditor owed money — very often HMRC — can petition the High Court of Justice in Northern Ireland, Chancery Division, to wind a company up. If the judge makes a winding-up order, the Official Receiver for Northern Ireland, part of the Insolvency Service within the Department for the Economy, normally becomes liquidator and may later hand the case to a private practitioner. Petitions, orders, dismissals and final meetings all appear in this list.

Office-holder appearing most often in this list: the Official Receiver for NI.
