Companies Act 2014 section 625

How liquidator is to be described and validity of acts

Section 625 sets out how a liquidator should be formally described and confirms that a liquidator's acts remain valid even if defects in their appointment or qualification are later discovered.

• A liquidator must be referred to by the style of "the liquidator" of the particular company, not by their personal name.
• A provisional liquidator must similarly be described as "the provisional liquidator" of the company concerned.
• Any acts carried out by a liquidator remain valid even if defects in their appointment or qualification come to light afterwards.
• The protection of a liquidator's acts is subject to section 621, which deals with preferential payments in a winding up.
