Company

Secretary of State for Business Innovation and v Rahman [2017] EWHC 2468 (Ch), [2017] All ER (D) 83 (Oct)

Where the appellant (the Secretary of State) had alleged that the sole director of a company had failed to ensure that the company had complied with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, with the result that it had been fined £30,000 for employing two illegal workers, resulting in its liquidation, the Companies Court held that the deputy district judge had not erred in making a disqualification order for three years, under s 6 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (CDDA 1986). He had been entitled to regard the case as falling in the lower bracket of seriousness.
