Passenger liner sinks with loss of hundreds of lives - external and funded body responsible for marine safety investigates, and recommendations enacted into law.

Small company, badly managed goes bust - no deaths, a few scorched wallets. Sure folks on here might want to know a little of what really happened but there is no cash in the bank for even a cursory investigation. So as ever apart from a few tweets from parties seeking to put their part in the mess in the best light- speculation is the best we are likely to get.

None of which in any way absolves the then-directors of their responsibility for keeping proper books of account. Something that would be especially important given the scenario you outline? Are you suggesting a breach of s.386, Companies Act 2006?

Whatever the administrator should or should not have contacted OK about (and, as the principal shareholder, I would have expected at least some contact with him), there should have been no initial reason to contact him in his capacity as a former director regarding the books of account. That would likely come later, as part of the enquiries into the conduct of past and present directors, or in response to any subsequent queries raised.



Good point - and agreed. And potentially puts the RFL's very late assertion of a debt owing to THEM in an interesting light, then? A potential connection I admit I had not made until now.



My "Titanic" analogy referred to "various parties". Which may or may not have included the likes of Whitcu*t and the RFL. I am aware that some argue that the RFL must be in this crock of shìte up to their eyeballs. Whether this is or is not the case, I suspect the crock may nevertheless need to be pretty large? To make room for all those sharing some responsibility for the disaster.

Oh what a tangled web we weave...

The council voted with Omar. They still lost

What an absolutely embarrassing p!s$ing fest this thread is.

whats the point in cutting a statement to say what you want it to say rather than what it did say? Do you think you have made some kind of point here?

1. OK resigned as a director on 24th September 2013

2. They were filed electronically so nobody signed them

I have no knowledge of how OKB did or did not keep their books or records, and have never suggested proper accounts shouldn't be kept, of course they should.

That's good to hear...for one minute I was concerned you might be showing worrying early signs of the Wooden Top or Dweeb conditions, neither of which appear to be curable...

Yes, I fully expect no reaction from anyone, whatever the decision.

17th chapter of the book of Jobe [so I have been told}, "blessèd is he who doth not expect - for he shall not be disappointed"

My closet Bulls affections hope for a 4 or 6 point bonus. My unhealthy, sick sense of humour wants it just to see the Wakey board explode. If you get anything back they want a judicial review of the conduct of the RFL.

Given that there is, on a conservative estimate, a quintsquillion other things anyone could do rather than read this thread, I conclude that those saying it is boring nevertheless chose to place reading this thread at the TOP - i.e. numero uno out of a quintsquillion - of all of the things they could have done.

The fibbers do protest too much, methinks. We know you're actually hooked on it, so don't pretend otherwise. As you'd be pretty fookin stupid to keep re-opening a thread that bored you whenever you opened it, right?

I have to say FA, I can never really understand anyone complaining about a particular thread being boring, having posts which are too long, containing too many long words, etc etc ad infinitum, when it is just so, so, so easy to just ignore said thread.

After all, there are plenty of others, which might float their particular boat.
