Governance and Regulation of Receivers: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Conan McKenna:

It goes back to the previous comment. First, the receiver in a non-corporate instance is subject to the criminal law in terms of their behaviour, whether it is non-fatal offences or under the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act. Their behaviour as a receiver is accountable under the criminal code. Equally, the receiver would have liability for any other issue that might arise in tort law with regard to their actions. The fundamental question is whether receivers in the non-company context are accountable and whether there is a system of complaints about their behaviour, and the answer is there is not.
