Wrongful trading claims are generally bought by insolvency practitioners, working as liquidators or administrators for insolvent companies. Part of an IP's responsibility is to investigate the actions of directors in the period preceding insolvency for evidence of wrongful trading. It is also possible, however, for insolvency practitioners to transfer their rights to bringing a wrongful trading claim to a third party such as a company creditor. These recent legislative changes represent an expansion of wrongful trading law and one which may lead to more claims being levied against directors in the future.
