This presentation will examine a range of contentious scenarios within law enforcement, insolvency and debt recovery involving the repossession and seizure of a client’s assets – with reference to assets being realised under the Insolvency (NI) Order 1989 and seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Discussion will centre on the wide-ranging powers conferred on the authorities by key legislation and client’s rights and obligations.
The session will be delivered by Maria Glover, Napier & Sons Solicitors and Aidan Larkin, Wilsons Auction Group.
