This hotline was set up by the Minister in January 1998 to enable members of the public to provide details of the activities of disqualified directors or bankrupts who are apparently taking part in the management of limited liability companies without having obtained the leave of the Court. Practitioners may use the hotline when they feel it is appropriate and should encourage complainants to do so.
