I wonder if HCEOs would just go ahead and enforce in these circumstances. It is worth asking.

 

You are right that the director may have personal liability in these circumstances, http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/45/section/217. You would have to bring a new claim against the director personally to enforce that though.

HCEOs can't help, they can only enforce against the name on the writ.

 

I am a little bit hazy here, there's conflicting information from various forums/blogs on the internet but section 216:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/45/section/216

says:

"This section applies to a person where a company (“the liquidating company”) has gone into insolvent liquidation on or after the appointed day and he was a director or shadow director of the company at any time in the period of 12 months ending with the day before it went into liquidation."

 

But a company being struck off isn't the same as insolvent liquidation?

 

Also, if I read 217 correctly I think personal liability is for the new company and not the old?

 

 

Thanks

I took a punt and issued a new court claim against the builder personally and he again ignored it, I've been able to request another default judgement.

 

My next thoughts are to enforcement, which I hope won't be so difficult as I have a CCJ against a person and not a Ltd company:

- He has property, solely owned and in positive equity

- I'm considering cutting to the chase and requesting a charging order

- I know he banks with Santander - so attempt a TPDO, but against the bank

- Transfer to the HCEO again, although I was unimpressed by TSO when they were sent in previously, they may have greater leverage to obtain payment when they can seize personal assets.

 

My only worry is he doesn't have vehicles they can seize as they are on finance,

but there should be personals assets including a lot of Apple iGear.

 

- Or maybe a combination of the above?

 

Thanks

I would probably go for the TPDO or the bailiff route before the charging order route. A charging order is a nice option to have in your back pocket, but it could be decades before the house is sold and you probably wouldn't be paid until then!

Aaaaaaand, a result.

 

The HCEO sent an Notice of Enforcement, before Xmas and he called back this week to pay in full. Foolishly he was late, so had to pay the Stage 1 charges also. 14 days wait and I'll get my money back!
