Disqualified Directors
The Financial Supervision Commission expects the highest standards of conduct from those involved in the corporate governance of companies. Where a person through their conduct is considered potentially unfit to carry out such a role, the Commission may petition the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man under Section 26 of the Companies Act 1992 seeking disqualification of that person from acting as:
1. a director of a company; or
2. a secretary of a company; or
3. a liquidator of a company; or
4. a receiver or manager of a company's property; or
5. in any way, whether directly or indirectly, being concerned or taking part in the promotion, formation or management of a company unless that person has the consent of the Court.
Disqualification of persons for fraudulent trading.
In cases where the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man makes a declaration under Section 259(1) of the Companies Act 1992 that any of the directors of a company, whether past or present, were knowing parties to the carrying on, by the company, of business with intent to defraud creditors of the company or creditors of any other person or for any fraudulent purpose, or, where a person is convicted by the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man under Section 259(3) of the Companies Act 1992 of being as a director knowingly a party to the carrying on of the business in manner aforesaid the court may also under Section 259(4) of the Companies Act 1992 order that that person shall not, without the leave of the court, be a director of or in any way, whether directly or indirectly, be concerned in or take part in the management of a company for a period, not exceeding five years.
Disqualification of directors of insolvent companies.
In cases where a person is or has been the director of a company which has at any time gone into liquidation and was insolvent, and has been the director of another such company which went into liquidation within the previous 5 years, and the conduct of the person as director of any of those companies makes him unfit to be concerned in the management of a company, the Commission may apply to the High Court of Justice of the Isle of Man under Section 31(1) of the Companies Act 1992 for an order that the person shall not, without the leave of the Court, be a director of or in any way, whether directly or indirectly, be concerned or take part in the management of a company for such period as the court may specify, beginning with the date of the order and not exceeding 5 years.
