The changes include (a) a temporary suspension of wrongful trading by directors of UK companies for three months commencing on 1 March, 2020 and (b) the introduction of a moratorium for companies in financial difficulty preventing creditors enforcing debts for a period of time. Full details of the proposed changes are yet to be published.
