directors' disqualification

directors' disqualification
Under the Company Directors' Disqualification Act 1986, a person may be disqualified from acting as a director by Court order. There are various grounds, either because they have committed offences relating to companies; because they are considered insolvent after being directors of unfit companies; or where for example they have been involved in wrongful trading. The court decides how long the disqualification lasts within the minimum and maximum for each category.
