What this means for suppliers, creditors and counterparties
A scheme of arrangement listing in the Insolvency and Companies Court is a standard legal procedure used for corporate reorganisations, debt restructurings, or public takeover proceedings. Unlike a compulsory liquidation proceeding under Section 124 of the Insolvency Act 1986, a scheme of arrangement is a solvent statutory process.
Corporate risk managers routinely perform due diligence across connected entities. Conducting a broader winding up search allows counterparty risk teams to ensure no insolvency petitions affect associated entities within a group.
