| 单词 | Winding up order |
| 释义 | 清盤令 A court order that a company be dissolved under the Companies Ordinance (Cap 32). An order for winding up a company operates in favour of all the creditors and of all contributories of the company as if made on the joint petition of a creditor and of a contributory: Companies Ordinance (Cap 32) s 187. When a winding-up order has been made, no action or proceeding may be proceeded with or commenced against the company or its property except by leave of the court and subject to such terms as the court may impose: s 186; Re Axona International Credit and Commerce Ltd [1985] 2 HKC 675. The winding-up order also has the effect of discharging all the company’s employees (Re Peck Winch & Tod Ltd (1979) 130 NLJ 116 (CA)), of terminating agencies, and of dismissing its directors (Measures Bros Ltd v Measures [1910] 2 Ch 248 (CA)). It puts an end to the directors’ powers of management (Re Farrow’s Bank Ltd [1921] 2 Ch 164 (CA)); thus they cannot make calls (Fowler v Broad’s Patent Night Light Co [1893] 1 Ch 724). They may, however, appeal in the company’s name from the winding-up order (Re Diamond Fuel Co (1879) 13 Ch D 400); and they do not cease to be officers of the company for purposes of being ordered to answer interrogatories (Madrid Bank v Bayley (1866) LR 2 QB 37). Where the winding-up order is made after a receiver has been appointed under a debenture that creates a floating charge over the company’s property and assets, the power of the receiver to bind the company as its agent is automatically terminated; but his power to assign the benefit of the company’s property and assets is not affected by the winding up as that authority is acquired from the debenture: Re Corona Corduroy Factory Ltd [1987] 1 HKC 385. See also Compulsory winding up; Voluntary winding up; Winding up. 命令根據《公司條例》（第32章）解散一間公司的法院命令。將公司清盤的命令，具有使公司的所有債權人及所有分擔人受惠的效用，猶如該命令是應一名債權人及一名分擔人的共同呈請而作出一樣：《公司條例》（第32章）第187條。當已有清盤令作出，不得針對公司或其財產進行或展開任何訴訟或法律程序，而獲法院許可者並在符合法院所施加的條款下進行或展開者除外：第186條；Re Axona International Credit and Commerce Ltd [1985] 2 HKC 675。清盤令亦具有解僱該公司所有僱員（Re Peck Winch & Tod Ltd (1979) 130 NLJ 116（英國上訴法院））、終止代理人及解散董事會（Measures Bros Ltd v Measures [1910] 2 Ch 248（英國上訴法院））的效力。清盤令可終止董事的管理權（Re Farrow）s Bank Ltd [1921] 2 Ch 164（英國上訴法院））；因此，他們不能發出命令（Fowler v Broad）s Patent Night Light Co [1893] 1 Ch 724）。然而，他們可能以該公司的名義要求清盤令（Re Diamond Fuel Co (1879) 13 Ch D 400）；由於要回答質詢，他們將繼續留任（Madrid Bank v Bayley (1866) LR 2 QB 37）。凡清盤令於根據債權證（以該公司的財產及資產作為浮動押計）委任接管人後作出者，接管人以該公司作為其代理人的權力亦自動終止；但其分配該公司財產及資產的權力並不受清盤令影響，因為該權力由債權證所賦予：Re Corona Corduroy Factory Ltd [1987] 1 HKC 385。另見 Compulsory winding up; Voluntary winding up; Winding up。 |
