Quote: Sitting Bull "With all these aliens about that might happen! Directors have more rights than the common man (woman or child) who else could destroy all they come into contact with, then walk away and start again. Morally they should be brought to book but legally - snow ball and Hell springs to mind.'"
In fact, though, company directors have far more legal responsibilities than the "common man". And certainly far far more than the self-employed common man, when it comes to a business falling over, albeit the latter instead faces the horrid direct prospect of personal bankruptcy. To bankrupt a company director when a business foalls over, you'd have to demonstrate trading whilst insolvent, wrongful trading or some other civil-actionable breach of duty.
Or for that matter controlling shareholders, who seem to have fekk all legal responsibility for anything.
I suspect that if there are any possible, any conceivable grounds, for any kind of action whatsoever against Hood, however tenuous, in tru Ahab fashion some of those with strong vested interests may have no hesitation whatsoever in ruthlessly pursuing. So worry not on that score.
