On 28 March, 2020, the UK Government announced that it intends to amend insolvency law to give companies breathing space and allow them to keep trading while they explore options for rescue. 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.
