[Webinar] The Scope of Liquidators’ Investigative Duties and Powers
25 March 2024 | 12.00pm to 1.20pm | Zoom
Liquidators are granted broad powers for the purposes of discharging their duty to, among other things, investigate the company’s affairs, ascertain its assets and liabilities, settle the list of contributories, and distribute assets to the persons entitled.
The recent Court of Appeal decision of Rashmi Bothra v SuntecCity Thirty Pte Ltd provides important guidance on the scope of a liquidator’s powers and emphasises that while broad, those powers must always be directed towards achieving specific duties beneficial to the liquidation. In this case, the Court of Appeal ruled that a liquidator had no duty to investigate disputes over the beneficial ownership of shares of the company. But the Court’s decision provides essential guidance on the proper exercise of a liquidator’s extensive powers and the risks of overreaching their duties.
