Winding up by the court in Scotland
A creditor — very often HM Revenue & Customs — presents a petition to the Court of Session or to the sheriff court of the sheriffdom where the company has its registered office. The sheriff court can deal with it only if the paid-up share capital is £120,000 or less; larger companies go to Edinburgh. The court's first order requires the petition to be intimated and advertised in The Edinburgh Gazette, giving anyone with an interest eight days to lodge answers.
If the petition succeeds the court pronounces an interlocutor winding the company up and appoints an interim liquidator, who later becomes, or hands over to, the liquidator chosen by creditors. A provisional liquidator can be appointed earlier if assets are at risk.
Other procedures: Creditors' voluntary liquidations · Members' voluntary liquidations · Administrations · Receiverships · Winding-up petitions.
