    Section B - Scenario 5

    AeroLogistics Ltd is a freight service firm. Following the crystallization of the charge, BankCorp decides to appoint an Administrator to try and rescue the company. BankCorp holds a 'Qualifying Floating Charge' (QFC).

    How can BankCorp appoint an Administrator?

    Answer options:

    A.

    They must petition the court and wait for a judge to make an Administration Order.

    B.

    By filing a notice of appointment at court, without needing a formal court hearing.

    C.

    They must get the approval of the majority of the unsecured creditors.

    D.

    They cannot appoint an administrator; only the directors can do this.

    How to approach this question

    Recall the special powers granted to Qualifying Floating Charge (QFC) holders under the Enterprise Act 2002 amendments to the Insolvency Act.

    Full Answer

    B.By filing a notice of appointment at court, without needing a formal court hearing.✓ Correct
    Under Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986, the holder of a Qualifying Floating Charge (a charge over the whole or substantially the whole of the company's property) has the power to appoint an administrator using an 'out-of-court' route. They simply need to file the relevant notice of appointment at court, avoiding the delay and expense of a full court hearing.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking that all administration appointments require a court hearing and a judge's order.
