Esther Kim and Jade Young comprise the Director Prohibitions team within the Integrity & Enforcement unit at the Companies Office.
This presentation is a great opportunity for insolvency practitioners, solicitors, accountants and anyone working professionally in the commercial arena to learn about what the prohibitions process entails, including but not limited to:
- The two primary types of director prohibition enforced by the Companies Office (section 382 and section 385 banning orders);
- How candidates are identified;
- The criteria required to be a probable candidate for prohibition;
- The effectiveness of prohibition as an alternative to prosecution;
- How insolvency practitioners and other individuals can initiate or assist this process; and
- A general overview of the Integrity and Enforcement Team’s purview.
Esther and Jade have extensive experience with both Companies Act 1993 and Insolvency Act 2006 legislation. Prior to working at the Companies Office, Esther worked at the Insolvency & Trustee Service administering bankruptcies and liquidations on behalf of the Official Assignee. Jade worked as a solicitor focusing on civil and commercial litigation, including insolvency and contract matters. As such, they can offer authentic experiences and perspectives of the banning process from the perspective of the Registrar of Companies and insolvency practitioners alike.
