    Other director has cleaned us out

    'What do you do?' Immediately get legal advice. As part of this, gather and preserve relevant records/etcetera. And the info at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/options-when-a-company-is-insolvent/options-when-a-company-is-insolvent may soon become appropriate. Depending upon...

    Defendant Filed Defence - CCJ Advice
