Voluntary administration - Administrator's investigation of company's affairs
239AG: Administrator's right to documents, etc
You could also call this:
"Administrator's access to company documents and information during voluntary administration"
When you're in charge of a company that's going through voluntary administration, you have the right to access important documents and information. This right is similar to what a liquidator would have if the company was being closed down.
The law says that you can use sections 261 and 263 to 267 of the Companies Act 1993, but instead of talking about liquidators and liquidation, these sections now apply to administrators and administration. This means you have the same powers to get and look at documents that a liquidator would have.
If you want to know more about what specific rights you have, you can look at section 261 and sections 263 to 267 of the Companies Act 1993. These sections will tell you exactly what you can do and what information you can access as an administrator.
