1) The funds credited to the dca should not have been.
2) They should have been credited to a deferred wages account.
3) they were being paid to you on an ad hoc basis as and when possible.
That they were unpaid wages might possibly be key, they could have been accounted for better though. Employees wages are preferential (or were).
Of course if you didnt have a contract of employment it may be more difficult to argue.
Are you able to discuss this, and the accounting treatment, with the old accountants.
If you are unable to agree with the liquidator you may be able to comvince the judge if you want to dig your heels in. The liquidators powers are limited. But he can seek court approval for actions.
Hope this may be of some limited help. You basic argument needs to be prior claim.
Edit: Forgot to mention. If you were paying wages to a director when it was known insolvent then these mat be attacked, thus any wages paid or "booked" after the date at which liquidation was decided are at risk of being disallowed. It may be the case that the 3,800 paid, reducing the DCA, is mapped onto those.Last edited by ASB; 27 October 2016, 11:08.Comment
