The Insolvency Service can apply to the court for a compensation order on behalf of the Secretary of State for Business and Trade. The court can make a compensation order if the director is subject to a disqualification order or undertaking and their conduct has caused a quantifiable loss to one or more creditors of an insolvent or dissolved company.
