What to Do Once Your Company Has Been Taken Over

If your company has been taken over by a receiver, liquidator, or administrator, there are several things that you can do to protect your interests:

1. Keep informed: Stay in contact with the receiver, liquidator, or administrator and keep informed about what is happening with your company.

2. Seek professional advice: Get advice from an insolvency practitioner or a lawyer to help you understand your rights and obligations.

3. Cooperate with the insolvency practitioner: Cooperate with the receiver, liquidator, or administrator and provide them with the information they need to carry out their duties.

4. Protect your assets: If you have assets that are not part of the company's assets, such as personal assets, try to protect them from being seized by the insolvency practitioner.

5. Attend creditors' meetings: Attend creditors' meetings to stay informed about what is happening with your company and to have a say in the decision-making process.

6. Consider your options: If you are a director of the company, consider your options carefully and seek professional advice before making any decisions.

_A person who engages in other businesses who out of sympathy or pressure lends money to his friend to resuscitate his ailing business should not by any stretch of imagination be termed Money lender under the law._

Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws, or worse, its disregard of the charter of its own existence.”

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark (1899-1977) in Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 659 (1961)

“[T]he ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the
Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.”

Concurring Opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) in Graves v. New York, 306 U.S. 466, 491-92 (1939)

Decency, security and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperilled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means — to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal — would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face.”
Dissenting Opinion of U.S Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis (1856-1941) in Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 485 (1928)

Did You Know That?

Beyonce's "Love Drought" video was in memory of "Igbo Landing" story. An act of mass resistance against slavery.

A group of Igbo slaves revolted, took control of their ship, rather than submit to slavery, they drowned themselves.

When they were drowning, they were singing in Igbo, a song that translates to:

"the water spirit brought us. The water spirit will take us home". (Mmụọ mmiri du anyị bia, mmụọ mmiri ga-edu anyi laa)

May 1803 will forever be remembered in Black history as one that showed the courage of the Black race in the face of subjection.

During the transatlantic slave trade in Africa (Nigeria) the Igbo Nation were revered because they were industrious, proud, independent, performed their duties with little or no supervision.

As such, John Couper and Thomas Spalding purchased Igbos for export to the US to work on plantations in Simons Island.

Each was to be sold for rates as high as $100. Among those taken captives were 75 Igbo men.

In Dunbar Creek on St. Simons Island, Glynn County, Georgia, there is a deeply historic site called Igbo Landing. So named because of the mass su***de of Igbo people captured as slaves in 1803.

The history started when about 75-100 Igbo people from what's now known as Nigeria were captured, were bounded and put on ship to be sold as slaves in plantations across the Americas.

Most of the Africans who were enslaved were captured in battles or were k.idnapped, though some were sold into slavery for debt or as punishment.

The captives were marched to the coast, often enduring long journeys of weeks or even months, shackled to one another.

Rather than head to the arrival port, one of the Igbo chiefs taken captive gives a directive and suddenly, they turn back to the Dunbar creek singing that the water spirits and their god Chukwu take them back to their land.

During the voyage, the Igbo slaves rose in rebellion and drowned their captors.

The ship was grounded. Left with no clear direction

”At this age of information technology, it will be foolhardy for any litigant to insist on being served with a hard copy of a hearing notice. Once a notice is sent to a telephone number supplied by the litigant, it is sufficient.”

JOLUGBO & ANOR v. AINA & ANOR
(2016) LPELR-40352(CA)

However, the law also makes a distinction between the husband and the wife - when a wife buys a property, and conveys it in the name of her husband, there is no presumption of advancement infavour of her husband; he holds in trust for his wife. However, if the husband purchases a property in his wife's name, this is prima facie a gift to her - see Silver v. Silver (1958) 1 All E. R.523." Per AMINA ADAMU AUGIE, JCA (Pp 27 - 29 Paras A - D)

The order of court in an annulled election has no retrospective effect on the tenure and actions taken by the governor before the nullification order. Therefore both the pre-nullification tenure and acts flowing from it are recognizable by law as the valid legal effect of the annulled election. The period spent in office as governor by the person concerned must count as part of his tenure PER ADEKEYE, JSC in the case of
BRIG. GEN. MOHAMMED BUBA MARWA V. INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC)
