Could any of our legal minded people tell me if it is illigal to
willfully strip assests from a company with the sole purpose of
letting the said company decay to the point it goes under, and as a
result getting out of paying (out of their own pocket) redundancies??.
For my money I would say that would be a direct breach of company law
and Corrigan and Reith (who masterminded it) should be held fully
acountable!!
PS. Contray to popular beleif the warfies wern't technicaly sacked,
just the company that employed them ceased to exist and as a result
the contract for stevidoring went to the NFF's P&C Stervidoring
company!
