Insolvency

Vermillion International Investments Ltd v Charit-Email Technology Partnership LLP (Ch D, 13 February 2009)

Although the interests and liabilities of a member of a limited liability partnership are different from those of a contributory to a limited company (and those differences might lead to some changes in practice so far as petitions to wind them up are concerned), a person seeking to exercise a right to appear and be heard in court proceedings, whether as creditor or contributory, should at least claim to be a member of the class on whom that right was conferred.
