Partnership Liquidation
Where the partners have decided that the partnershiphas no viable future or purpose then a decision may be made to cease tradingand wind up the partnership.
As with winding up a company there are two basic ways that the partnership can
be wound up: the creditor's petition and a partner's petition
Creditor's Petition
A creditor can petition to wind up the partnership, and at the same time decide
whether or not to petition for the bankruptcy of each of the partners, some or
none.
Partner's Petition
The partners can petition to wind up the partnership and also petition for
their own bankruptcy or not. The partners may decide that instead of bankruptcy
they would be able to contribute to IVA's.
The Winding-Up Process
The partnership is treated much like an unregistered company and is wound up in
the same way as a company. The tasks of the liquidator are therefore to:
1. Realise the assets in the partnership including any deficiencies due on the
partner's individual capital accounts. If the partners are in IVA's then only a
proportion of these would be repaid. If they go bankrupt, then it is likely
nothing would be repaid. All debtors, property and other assets will be
collected by the liquidator.
2. Investigate the conduct of the "officers of thepartnership" just as the liquidator in a company liquidation must do.
2.1. If the partners conduct warrants it, the liquidator can initiate actions against the partners to seek to disqualify them as partners in a partnership (Insolvent Partnerships Order 1994)
2.2. The liquidator must also ascertain whether anytransactions known as preferences or transactions at undervalue have taken place. If such transactions have been completed before the winding up, they can be un-done. The court can order that the partners reverse the transaction.
3. The liquidator completes his /her work by making payments to the creditors in order of priority.
It is in our opinion never the right advice to simply say, close the company and let your creditors spend their money winding you up. This is not acting in the best interests of creditors, as a partner is obliged to do.
The correct view is that there are certain advantages in initiating your own
winding up by taking such action themselves the partners as individuals may
avoid the disqualification of the partners and as company directors, however
this will depend on their actions pre the failure and whether they had acted at
all times correctly and in the creditor's interests.
The creditors appreciate that an insolvency practitioner must be appointed
where the winding up process is used. This may realise a better return,
investigation into the officers conduct pre insolvency and the knowledge that
the partnership will not increase debts. This way the liquidator can quickly
terminate leases and contractual liabilities.
If you have a partnership that is facing problems,
please take early advice.
