    That's up to the ATA.

    is it the company name , or the directors that are struck off ?
    The company can be issued a winding-up order, and the persons banned from holding director positions in other companies.

    can the directors be banned from running other companies?
    Yes, at the court's behest. Not sure if a Scottish ruling would apply to the rest of the UK though.

    how many other companies have they registered with ATAs
    No idea.

    any live feeds from the court?
    Not unless someone is there with their mobile to give a Twitter feed. :)

    When OPC were convicted a Wolverhampton a couple of years ago nothing happened to them regarding the BPA Ltd. They are still members of that august institution.

    Pol Pot would be welcomed as a member of the BPA Ltd.

    He'd be made chairman of the IPC.

    You are joking, right? The Bullsh|t Purveyors' Association already happily harbours convicted criminals among its membership, what's one more?
    is it the company name , or the directors that are struck off ?
    The director (singular) is a shady South African stooge who has nothing to do with running the company. Sanctions against him will likely be unenforceable and will have no effect on the people who really run the company.

    The two individuals who really run the company could be subject to criminal charges, but only if the prosecutor in Scotland has sufficient evidence that they are the "controlling minds and wills" behind the company. They have certainly been tipped off as to their identities.
    can the directors be banned from running other companies?

    See above

    The stooge is a director of 140 companies. Can't be bothered to look through them all. So what anyway? Being a criminal is no obstacle to being an ATA member.

    Not a chance. It's hardly the trial of Oscar Pistorious!

  • If you are so interested why have you not gone to the hearing?

    The judge has sent out to chambers for his black cap before he passes sentence.

    Is what I heard.

    I take it you don't know where Aberdeen is ?

    Go on, you work for CEL don't you ?

    Why would anyone not directly involved in the case bother to pay to get to Aberdeen ( from Brighton in my case ) when the details will be freely available a little later ? Typical PPC economic thinking from you there !
