Just & Equitable Winding Up Petitions - The Process from Start to Finish Live at Your Desk

Introduction

This virtual classroom seminar will explore why this area continues to demand close attention from practitioners and company advisers, and why now is an ideal moment to refresh and recap the general procedural requirements that underpin these applications.

The landscape is evolving, with courts taking an increasingly scrutinising approach to issues such as breakdowns in trust, deadlock, quasi-partnership dynamics, and the availability of alternative remedies. Recapping the core principles and considering recent developments, along with the practical, strategic, and evidential considerations that influence how petitions are prepared and argued is essential to avoid missteps and ensure clients’ interests are protected.

By the end of this live session, you will be better equipped to identify when a just and equitable petition is appropriate, navigate the procedural and evidential complexities, anticipate common pitfalls and handle these petitions with greater confidence. This live session will deliver practical guidance and solutions to recurring problem areas, helping you enhance your day-to-day practice.
