1 INFORMATION SHEET 41 Insolvency: a glossary of terms This is a brief explanation of some of the terms you may come across in company insolvency proceedings. Please note that this glossary is for general guidance only. Many of the terms have a specific technical meaning in certain contexts that may not be covered here.

A mortgage is a type of charge. Committee of creditors A small group of creditors, or their representatives, often appointed by the creditors of a company at the first meeting in a voluntary administration.

The voluntary administrator must report to the committee when it reasonably requires. Committee of inspection A small group of creditors and shareholders, or their representatives, often appointed by the creditors and shareholders of a company in liquidation to assist the liquidator.

Provisional liquidator A liquidator appointed by the court to preserve a company s assets until a winding-up application is decided. Proxy A person appointed by another person to represent them at a meeting. A proxy is usually entitled to attend and vote on behalf of the person who appointed them. In an external administration, the appointer is usually a creditor or shareholder. Proxy form A prescribed form that must be completed by creditors or shareholders to appoint a proxy for a creditors or shareholders meeting. Public examination A liquidator, voluntary administrator, deed administrator, ASIC or a person authorised by ASIC to do so can apply to the court to question an externally administered company s directors or any other person who may be able to give information about the affairs of the company. Realise Convert assets into cash, often by selling them. Receiver An external administrator appointed by a secured creditor to realise enough of the assets subject to the charge to repay the secured debt.

Receiver and manager A receiver who has, under the terms of their appointment, the power to manage the company s affairs. Page 5 of 66 Receivership An insolvency procedure where a receiver, or receiver and manager, is appointed over some or all of the company s assets.

Secured creditor A creditor who has a security (e.g. charge or mortgage) over some or all of a company s property. Shadow director A natural person not on the public register as a director of a company but who directs and manages the company s affairs and is taken by the Corporations Act 2001 to be a director. Tangible asset An asset with a physical form (e.g. stock or real estate). Uncommercial transaction A transaction that was unreasonable for a company to have entered into. It may be able to be set aside by the company s liquidator provided it occurred within 2 years prior to the winding up, and when the company was insolvent or if the company became insolvent by entering into the transaction. Unfair preference A payment made or other benefit given to a creditor by an insolvent company which causes that creditor to be in a more favourable position than other unsecured creditors in a liquidation. The company s liquidator can seek to recover an unfair preference provided it occurred within 6 months prior to the liquidation, and when the company was insolvent or if the company became insolvent by making the payment or giving the benefit. Unsecured creditor A creditor who does not hold a security over a company s property. Voluntary administration An insolvency procedure where the directors of a financially troubled company or a secured creditor with a charge over most of the company s assets appoint an external administrator called a voluntary administrator. The role of the voluntary administrator is to investigate the company s affairs, to report to creditors and to recommend to creditors whether the company should enter into a deed of company arrangement, go into liquidation or be returned to the directors. Voluntary administrator An external administrator appointed to carry out the voluntary administration of a company. Winding-up order A court order for the winding up of a company.
