With Stock & Share ISA I take it that dividends are paid into that ISA, However If the shares you hold in your ISA say £20k worth are subject to a forced sell (such as a company or more likely Utility has been taken over).
Would the money received for the shares be paid into the ISA and would be treated as tax free?
As it is now cash as shares were forcibly sold what happens, does it have to go into a Cash ISA or something else?
Because it was forcibly sold I wouldn't be able to keep the sell under the Capital gains limit due to all being sold at once. Would it be treated as Capital Gains and taxed as so?

Anything that happens inside an ISA is excluded from tax.2

Yes.
It would sit as cash in the same ISA until you decided what to do with it - withdraw, reinvest etc.1 -

If not, then no.Would the money received for the shares be paid into the ISA and would be treated as tax free?It stays in the ISA unless you choose to draw it.Up to you. You can either buy alternative investments or transfer it or draw it.
