The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Bill introduced new measures which were designed to assist companies facing financial difficulties and the measures are particularly useful diring the Covid-19 crisis.

One of the measures is ‘statutory demands and winding up petitions’.  The Bill aims to help struggling businesses by temporarily removing the threat of winding-up proceedings where unpaid debt is due to Covid-19.  It introduces temporary provisions to void statutory demands issued against companies during the emergency.  This gives businesses the opportunity to reach realistic and fair agreements with all creditors.
