Isn’t this circumventing the administration process? Is is correct to say that this is an attempt by an unsecured creditor to become a secured creditor? If you can seize assets, wouldn’t you only be able to seize assets to the approximate value of what you are owed?
I wouldn't go so far as to say impound or seize. It sounds like an airport company equivalent of wheel clamping.
Maybe the pushback tugs could fix the problem.
In any case how did the dozer drivers get an asic and airside drivers permit so quickly???
