What does the allegation actually say?
Misfeasance allegations can concern breach of duty, misapplication of company property or other alleged misconduct. The specific legal basis, period, role and loss asserted must be identified. A disputed loan balance and a breach-of-duty allegation should not be conflated.
Reconstruct decisions and transactions
Build a dated schedule of payments, recipients, bank references, ledger postings, approvals, board decisions, expenses and relevant advice. Identify records that support or contradict each allegation, and make uncertainties explicit.
Separate each director's involvement
Document appointment periods, delegated functions, access to banking, decisions personally taken, board records and communications. Delegation and lack of access may be relevant facts but do not automatically determine legal responsibility.
What to provide
The claim or pre-action correspondence, schedule of alleged losses, accounting records, bank transactions, company minutes, professional correspondence, relevant contracts and any procedural notice.
What we prepare
An allegation-by-allegation evidence matrix, chronology, transaction schedule, document index, factual briefing and information-gap list. An authorised legal adviser should assess legal defences, litigation strategy and court steps.
