Maybe they will pay the delinquent advertising bill?  |

In the "Sad Demise" thread you said that Tor weren't TMP advertisers. |

Maybe "they" are the new owners who currently owe money. Don't see much sense in shaming the company that sold out. |

In the "Sad Demise" thread you said that Tor weren't TMP advertisers. Shut down for non-payment, David. |

I suspect their reasons for shutting down ran rather deeper than not being TMP advertisers, or not having paid a TMP bill, Bill :) Anyway, I'd be amazed if any company who bought the range from Tor also saddled themselves with any outstanding liabilities. I don't think life works like that (although it would be handy if it did, I have a few "lifetime service plans" with companies that closed down and another company bought them out) |

Can't speak for UK bankruptcy law. Under American law, you sell off the assets--as these people appear to be doing--and the proceeds are divided among the creditors, so if Tor actually owed you money--as in advertising provided and not paid for--you'd have a claim, but probably not worth pursuing. (If the assets sold for half their outstanding debts, you'd get fifty cents on the dollar--less your legal fees.) But no, whoever buys an asset doesn't assume the obligations, any more than you'd owe for something bought at a Sherrif's auction or an estate sale. Now, if the company is still profitable but owes a heap of money, you have what in the US is a "Chapter 11"--the current owners are wiped out, and the creditors become the new owners, but the company continues. In that case, the warranties might still be worth something. Don't count on it. |
