DMCC COMPANY LIQUIDATION METHOD

In DMCC, there are numerous forms of corporate liquidation. They are as follows:

SUMMARY WINDING UP: In this kind, the firm’s directors declare that they may fully liquidate the company within 6 months of the process’s beginning.

SOLVENT WINDING UP:  This is a circumstance in which the Board of Directors declares that they can fully liquidate the firm in a time span of 12 months.

INSOLVENT VOLUNTARY WINDING UP: a procedure in which the company’s creditors participate in the company’s liquidation.

THE COMPETENT COURT’S INVOLUNTARY WINDING UP: In this scenario, the court makes the decision to liquidate a firm. This might be due to a number of factors, including major violations of DMCC rules and regulations, or the corporation being struck off.
