Your guide to making a claim with McDonald Vague
Who can submit a claim?
“A debt or liability, present or future, certain or contingent, whether it is ascertained debt or a liability for damages, may be admitted as a claim against a company in liquidation” (Section 303(1) Companies Act 1993).
A claim by an unsecured creditor against a company in liquidation must be in the prescribed form and contain full particulars of the claim and identify any documents that evidence or substantiate the claim.
A secured creditor has certain rights and duties defined under Section 305 of the Companies Act 1993. A secured creditor may claim as an unsecured creditor for any balance due after deducting any net amount realised and must account to the liquidator for any surplus.
If your claim is made on behalf of a creditor, please specify your relationship and authority.
By submitting a claim online, you accept that the electronic submission of your claim is equivalent to your signature to a hardcopy document. You confirm that you are an authorised person and have the authority to submit the claim and that you understand it is an offence to submit a false or misleading claim.
Please note, it is an offence under Section 304(6) of the Companies Act 1993 to make or authorise the making of a claim that is false or misleading or omit or authorise the omission that may lead to a false or misleading claim.
Unsecured creditor claims
Creditors who do not hold securities, have realised the security and have a shortfall, are unpaid and do not qualify as a preferential creditor, are likely to be unsecured creditors. Most creditors in a liquidation fit into this category.
Preferential creditor claims
For information on "preferential claims" click here to access the seventh schedule of the Companies Act 1993. Employees fit into this category for wages, holiday pay and redundancy up to a statutory limit.
Secured creditor claims – Registered on the PPSR
If your claim is as a secured creditor, please complete a secured creditor claim form. You will be secured if you hold a general security agreement ("GSA") or have a specific security interest registered on the Personal Property Securities Register over stock or equipment. You may have secured creditor status with an unregistered security, if there are no competing interests that are registered, and you hold valid documentation. Please contact the case manager if you consider this may apply.
Secured creditor claims – NOT registered on the PPSR
If you have an unregistered claim for retention of title or hold an unregistered specific security interest please contact the manager by email.
Secured creditor claims – Contact a manager
If you have a registered security on the Personal Property Securities Register and have not been contacted by the case manager, please send an email to the manager providing detail of the security.
