A statutory waste removal obligation incurred by a company before it entered liquidation was held to be dischargeable as an expense of the liquidation (Re Doonin Plant Limited [2018] ScotCS CSOH 89).
UK Insolvency Practitioners will need to consider the implications of this decision when advising on strategy in relation to waste management businesses.
