i)
In context to case study it can be seen that Champion ltd. was shifted by one place to
another due to development of a new stadium by a premier league club. For this company was
given cash payment. But its negative impact was on decrease in customers (Kraakman and
Hansmann, 2017). Due to this there are not able to pay to their creditors. They are threatening
company to take legal action against company. Creditors of Champion ltd. is having the power to
take legal action against it. This is because Champion ltd. is not able to pay the loan amount to
bank and other creditors. This is due to decline in their profits and customers. So the company is
not in a situation to pay amount to creditors. Taking legal action against company will lead to
liquidation. Therefore, in this way creditors will get their money back. Besides this, there are
many legal solutions that are available to creditors. These are as follows :-
In this case the liquidation that can be done is either creditors voluntary or court
appointed liquidation.
Creditors voluntary liquidation – It is done when company is not able to meet the debts of
creditors that is it become insolvent. In this a systematic procedure is followed. It helps in
effective and proper liquidation (Hiller and Shackelford, 2018). The procedure is described as
below :-
 Firstly directors of company has to agree with this.
 Then notice is given to member and creditors and meeting is organised. For this a
chairperson is appointed by directors.
 In meeting company is declared as insolvent by directors and a statement is issued
regarding this.
 At last procedure is followed and implemented.
Court appointed liquidation – It is a liquidation that has been given by court. This type of
liquidation is done when creditor believes that company is insolvent and takes legal action
against it. It this company continue to trade so that creditors' debt can be recovered. Basically,
this is the last option that is followed.
7

Delayed payments- in this Champion ltd. can delay the payment of creditor for a specific period
(Vargas, Dasari and Vargas, 2015). This means that payment will be given with interest rate. It
will help in continuing business. With this company will not wind up.
Creditor negotiation- in this Champion ltd. can make negotiation with creditor. They can
provide a payment plan to them. In this a particular time period can be given so that creditor do
not take any legal action.
Therefore, it can be concluded that creditors of Champion ltd. has the right to take legal
action. The company can either follow the creditor voluntary or court appointed liquidation. It
will help in recovering debt. The other two methods can be followed by Champion ltd. that will
help in continuing trade. Then slowly debt can be returned to creditors. Therefore, in this way
creditors will get their money back.
ii)
This case shows that Mr. Anderson was working as CFO with Amber ltd. His
employment contract states that before termination notice must be given within 12 months. Mr.
Anderson received an offer from Beta ltd. To work for them as CEO. Mr. Anderson accepted
that offer and terminated contract before specified period of 12 months (Trevino and Nelson,
2016). Thus, Amber ltd. Is seeking an injunction to prevent Mr. Anderson to join another
company. The case reflects on the agreement between Mr. Anderson and Amber ltd. It states
that before leaving the job Mr. Anderson must serve the notice period of 12 months.
In this case Mr. Anderson can terminate the contract any time by having agreement
between parties. It includes employment contract that can be cancelled by taking the initiative of
employer or employee. But by doing this Mr. Anderson can get an injunction from court. This
will restrict him to work for Beta ltd. So in order to overcome this Mr. Anderson can serve the
notice period of 12 months. After doing this, Mr. Anderson can terminate the contract and can
work for Beta ltd.. In this case Amber ltd. Has the right to take injunction against Mr. Anderson,
it is because as per the employment contract he has not given notice before 12 months. So
company is having right to reach court (Boldt, Kassis and Smith, 2017).
if Amber gets an injunction for Mr. Anderson it will be difficult for him to join Beta. An
injunction is a court order that restrict a person to carry or perform a specific act. In forces person
to complete the notice period. This will spoil the image of Mr. Anderson and he will not be able
work in any other organisation. On the other hand if he serves notice period then he can build
8

image of trust and confidence on Beta ltd. This will help Mr. Anderson to work for them in the
future. It will be easy for him to become a good CEO of Beta ltd (Hiller and Shackelford,
2018). There are other solution that can be applied in this. First of all Amber can allow him to
work by making an agreement that no information will be shared. Second can be that Amer ltd
can take allow him to leave on some conditions, that is they can reduce the notice time. So in
order to overcome this Mr. Anderson can serve the notice period of 12 months. After doing this,
Mr. Anderson can terminate the contract and can work for Beta ltd. Thus, these alternative
solution can be taken into consideration that will help in negotiation between Mr. Anderson and
organisation. Company can also take the help of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in order
to solve the issue (Trevino and Nelson, 2016.). This will give them appropriate solution to
resolve the conflict. In this way threat of injunction can be overcome by Mr. Anderson. This will
help Mr. Anderson to work for them in the future. Also, it will help in career development.
TASK 4
b) Recommend an Alternative legal solutions.
As according to the case with Anderson Ltd and Beta company that they facing low
financial growth due to relocation of the company structure overall, it makes the proper process
and effective decision making approach (Shaw-Mellors and Poole, 2018). There are different
legal and alternative solution making techniques through company can easily make the better
decision making approach for both the parties. Alternative dispute solution is the most applied
techniques and methods that make the proper effective process of making task. Overall, it brings
the new effective challenging and fast making services to be implemented. ADR is the
procedures for settling the issues between two or more than two parties. There are such strategies
and action or methods of alternative solution making task. Such as Litigation, arbitration,
mediation and negotiation (Trevino and Nelson, 2016). These are the same method through
Amber Ltd company will make protect the company from external disputes. There are given
some explanation of following methods:

This method will be more helpful to take the better output results and task oriented process to be
