Talking Business podcast: reducing red tape post-Brexit

In this month’s update, host Sophie Brookes talks us through some changes proposed in the Government’s policy paper aimed at reducing red tape post-Brexit as well as some more immediate changes to the rules on winding up petitions in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Sophie also discusses two recent cases which considered whether a company’s directors had breached their duties by issuing shares to defeat resolutions at a general meeting and whether increasing the pre-default interest rate in a loan agreement by 400% post-default was an unenforceable penalty.
