This course will look at what claims can be admitted for both dividend and voting purposes and the amounts for which they should be admitted.

Failure to properly consider creditors’ claims can have serious consequences for trustees, including a finding that resolutions have not been properly passed.

Before a creditor can receive a dividend from a bankrupt estate, or vote in respect of a proposed resolution, they must have their claim admitted for dividend (or voting) purposes.

This may appear to be a simple task, but there are many nuances which affect the admissibility and value of a creditor’s claim.

This course will look at what claims can be admitted for both dividend and voting purposes and the amounts for which they should be admitted.
