“Where solicitors had acted for a company in connection with its opposition to a winding up petition but had ceased to act for the company by the time the company went into out of court administration, the court had no power under the Insolvency Rules 1986 or under the inherent jurisdiction of the court to direct that fees which the company owed to the solicitors were an expense of the administration.”

“A company’s liabilities arising from financial support directions or contribution notices issued by the Pensions Regulator under the Pensions Act 2004 after the company had gone into administration, which required the company to put in place financial support for an occupational pension scheme, did not rank as an expense of the administration under rule 2.67(1)(f) of the Insolvency Rules 1986. However, where by the date on which the company went into administration it had for the preceding two years been vulnerable to a liability under a pension scheme, that liability was an obligation which ranked in the administration as a provable debt of the company.”
