Abstract

This article analyses directors’ liability for wrongful trading in the United Kingdom (UK) and European Union (EU) (looking at Germany and France), and the temporary suspension to the wrongful trading rules in these jurisdictions in light of COVID19 induced measures. The article explores whether these temporary suspensions were desirable (at all) and considers their potential impact on directors’ business decision-making during the COVID19 crisis period.
