Winding up petition problems?
A frozen bank account situation often arises following the service of a winding up petition against a company. The winding up order is often then discovered by the bank which then puts a freeze on any payments out of the company account. This means the company cannot pay suppliers, creditors or staff and this can often lead to the company quickly collapsing.
Validation orders from the court can help
However, the freeze bank account situation can be dealt with very quickly by a court validation orders application. This is a type of application to the court by which permission is granted by the court for payments to be made out of a frozen company bank account without risk to the directors if the company is later wound up. A Validation order section 127 application can be made validating payments to be made such as to staff or suppliers.
