Administration Order

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In English and Welsh insolvency law, an Administration Order is a method used to protect a company experiencing short or medium term financial problems from its creditors. A court order is issued that forbids any form of legal or insolvency action without the court's permission. An application to the court for an administration order may be made by the company, the directors, a creditor or any combination of them. The Enterprise Act 2002 also allows a simplified procedure to appoint an administrator to the holder of a floating charge or the company or its directors.
