Re: B.A. Bankruptcy advised

After the Rolls Royce debacle in the 70's, wasn't there a law brought in to stop company's closing down & re-opening the next day under another name i.e. BA 2006 Ltd.
Any body know if the above is correct?
& if it is correct could they however open up in another EEC country. Um! in this case Eire comes to mind.

Going into bankruptcy would also most likely bring down the government's Pension Protection Fund, by unloading the BA shortfall onto it. While it might be a legal move, it would be highly unpopular with the other companies contributing to PPF, the government and the pensioners who are relying on the PPF.
