Is this intended to be a technical dissolution, under which a new general partner will be appointed, or a general dissolution, under which the partnership’s affairs will be wound up? Technical dissolution What does the partnership agreement say about a technical dissolution? Does it specify that, on a change of general partner, a reconstituted partnership, reflecting that change, will immediately succeed the dissolved partnership, assume its assets and liabilities, and continue the business?

The official receiver (OR) is designated as trustee in bankruptcy (trustee) or as liquidator to manage and investigate every bankruptcy and court-ordered winding up, including those of partnerships. The Secretary of State or the creditors may, in place of the OR, appoint an insolvency practitioner (IP) to act as trustee for personal insolvencies or as liquidator for corporate cases. Under the Insolvency Regulations 1994, SI 1994/2507, as amended (the Regulations), the OR or IP, as appropriate, is obliged to pay into the (ISA) any funds they receive while administering all bankruptcies and compulsory liquidations. Before 1 October 2011, sums from voluntary liquidations could also be lodged in the ISA; now, only unclaimed dividends in a voluntary liquidation may be paid into the ISA. Likewise, unclaimed dividends arising in an administration or an administrative receivership may be paid into the ISA once the company has been dissolved. The Regulations also permit payments out of the ISA for disbursements, expenses and distributions to creditors and, in a liquidation, to contributories, or, in...

This Practice Note sets out guidance on initiating ad hoc arbitration proceedings under the Arbitration Act 1996 (AA 1996). Prior to starting the arbitration Arbitration proceedings ought not to be commenced without first carefully evaluating the potential consequences and risks of entering a formal dispute resolution process. Practice Note: The role of in-house counsel in international arbitration offers practical guidance on key considerations for in-house counsel, and those advising them, in relation to pre-arbitration issues. The scope for settlement of the parties’ dispute should likewise be weighed at the pre-arbitration stage—see Practice Note: Settlement in arbitration. Before commencing arbitration, the parties and their lawyers should also carefully review the applicable dispute resolution provisions and consider whether there is any contractual obligation to undertake mediation or any other form of ADR procedure before referring the dispute to arbitration. It is common for dispute resolution clauses to be structured in tiers in this way—see Practice Note: Types of dispute resolution clauses—litigation, mediation, multi-tier, hybrid and carve-out clauses and ADR and...
