Pre-appointment administration fees - papering over the cracks in pre-packs?

Abstract

Considers the remuneration of insolvency practitioners for work done on pre-packaged administrations (pre-packs). Examines the proposed amendments to the Insolvency Rules 1986 dealing with pre-appointment expenses, the rights of unsecured creditors, management buy-outs and conflicts of interest, and concerns over the transparency and legitimacy of pre-packs.
