Issues relating to individual insolvency, a claimant’s bankruptcy or the defendant’s financial position can loom large in some cases. From a claimant’s solicitor finding out, half way through a case, that their client is bankrupt, to the issues of proceeding against a bankrupt or insolvent defendant.
The webinar takes you through the law relating to insolvency, the major pitfalls that can occur and how to avoid them including:
- Warning the client and protecting yourself
- What is the position when the claimant is bankrupt? Who “owns” the damages and who can bring the action?
- Avoiding striking out
- Practical steps that can be taken when the claimant is bankrupt
- What is the position when a carer is bankrupt?
- The steps you need to take when proceeding against a bankrupt defendant
- The steps you need to take when proceeding against an insolvent company
- Bypassing the problem – when can you sue an insurer directly?
