Anglaterre WRONG
That all changed a while back
“While company status offers valuable protection to a director, there are certain situations where limited liability can be disregarded, leaving the director responsible for paying the company’s debts.
These include:
Overdrawn director’s loan accounts
Signing a personal guarantee
Debts have accumulated due to fraudulent means (such as taking on credit you knew you wouldn’t be able to repay)
Director misconduct
Continuing to pay shareholders dividends whilst the company is insolvent
Withdrawing and/or using company funds for non-business activity; this is an offence known as misfeasance
Disposing of the company's assets at undervalue or no value”
There are lots of ways to make company directors personally accountable now, so whilst the assets may be under the limited company umbrella the person no longer is if they break the law or breach their responsibilities.
