Insolvency administrator’s burden

The role of an administrator was brought into sharp focus recently in the case of Cytonn High Yield Solutions LLP (in Administration) v Official Receiver KEHC 16 (KLR), which involved the administration of a limited liability partnership that was unable to repay certain investments that had matured. An administrator may be appointed by, among others, the company (this is defined in the Insolvency Act of 2015 to include a limited liability partnership) or its directors, and the appointers file the notice of the administrator’s appointment together with other prescribed documents with the High Court for the appointment to be effective. The documents to be filed include a statement that confirms that the administrator consents to the appointment and that in the administrator’s opinion the objective of the administration is reasonably likely to be achieved.
