Notice of Winding Up Application
What does it mean? What should you do?
When a creditor has decided to pursue this course of action they will almost always have instructed a solicitor who will be running the process.
The solicitor will:
- Serve the Winding Up Application on the Registered Office of your Company; and
- Advertise the Winding Up Application in the Government Gazette; and
- Advertise the Winding Up Application in a newspaper that is circulated in the area of which your company trades.
The Notice will have a return date at which time the Court will set a date for the hearing. It is at that hearing that the Court may order that your company be placed into Official Liquidation or Court Liquidation – they are the same thing. The Official Liquidator will then take complete control of the company and set about winding up its affairs.
