The restrictions implemented by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 in March 2020 on the issuing of statutory demands and winding-up petitions has now fully come to an end as from 1 April 2022.
Creditors are now free to issue winding-up petitions against companies who are unable to pay sums owed with monetary petition limit back to £750 instead of £10,000.
It is expected that there will be a substantial number of winding-up petitions going forward with creditors seeking to recover funds owed.
