A Notice of Appointment of Liquidator (Compulsory) refers to a legal document that signifies the appointment of a liquidator to oversee the winding-up and liquidation process of a company through a compulsory liquidation.

Compulsory liquidation is a formal insolvency procedure that occurs when a company is forced into liquidation by a court order. It is typically initiated by creditors or other interested parties who have filed a winding-up petition against the company due to its inability to pay its debts.

When the court grants the winding-up petition and issues a compulsory liquidation order, a liquidator is appointed to take control of the company’s affairs. The appointed liquidator’s primary role is to realize the company’s assets, distribute the proceeds to creditors, and wind up the company’s affairs in an orderly manner.
