Statistics Regarding Directors Disqualification

The Company Director Disqualification Act (CDDA) was introduced into law in 1986.

Since that time there has been an accelerating number of disqualification orders as the law bedded in and greater resources were granted to the DTI. This increasing trend might be expected to increase even further following on from the simplification of the procedure introduced by the Insolvency Act 2000.
