High Court refuses to grant declaration to restrict directors of company specialising in plumbing, notwithstanding a failure to pay pension contributions in respect of employees, where the company had suffered a sharp fall in income and cashflow in 2009, and where one of the directors was the mother of the other.
Company law - liquidator appointed in 2011 - arrears to pension scheme for workers - application for restriction of directors - s.150 of the Companies Act 1990 - contributions paid up to 1990 - instalment agreement agreed - analogy between non-payment of pension contributions and non-payment of taxes - overall commercial management of company - level of irresponsibility required to grant order of restriction - scale of enterprise - length of respondents' term as directors - economic situation - second respondent director being mother of first respondent - never played any part in operation of company - "ties of affection".
