[edit] Difference between administration and administrative receivership

In the article article on Administration, there is a section on the administration of an insolvent business. Is this the same thing as administrative receivership? If so, should the two articles be linked? Or is there a subtle difference? DWaterson 18:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Agreeing with DWaterson, I attempted to merge these two articles, mainly becuase Administration has too much generalities and this looks like the more relevant article. But it looks a legal minefield with so many closely related terms, so it needs an expert to look at it and I've tagged it accordingly. --Concrete Cowboy 21:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "going into Administration"

Is that the same as Administration order? --Concrete Cowboy 23:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

That's right. One would talk about a company "going into Administration"; the Administration is pursuant to an "Administration order" made by the court, and once the company is "in Administration" the court-appointed officer is referred to as an "Administrator".

In the UK companies go into administration other than by court order - we need a proper article (or part of an article) on administration under the 1986 Act, and current references to "adminstration order" need to be changed (back) to "administration". Hopefully I can start on this during the week.Imprimatur 21:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
