Original wording (English, legally binding): Civil liability of directors for wrongful trading
(1) Subject to subsection (3), if in the course of the winding up of a company
it appears that subsection (2) applies to a person, the Court, on the
trading
application of the liquidator or any creditor or member of the company,
may declare that that person shall be liable to make such contribution to
the company‘s assets as the Court thinks proper.

(2) This subsection applies in relation to a person if —

(a) the company has gone into insolvent liquidation;


(b) at some time before the commencement of the winding up of
the company, that person knew or ought to have concluded that
there was no reasonable prospect of the company avoiding
going into insolvent liquidation; and

(c) that person was a director of the company at that time.

(3) The Court shall not make a declaration under this section in respect of
any person if it is satisfied that, after the condition specified in subsection
(2)(b) was first fulfilled in relation to him, he took every step with a view
to minimising the potential loss to the company‘s creditors that he ought
to have taken.

(4) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), the facts which a director of
a company ought to know, the conclusions which he ought to reach and
the steps which he ought to take are those which would be known,
reached or taken by a director complying with section 144.

(5) For the purposes of this section a company goes into insolvent liquidation
if it goes into liquidation at a time when its assets are insufficient for the
payment of its debts and other liabilities and the expenses of the winding
up.

(6) This section is without prejudice to section 340.
