Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Freight Services's J Ironfield subsidiary are believed to be owed £50,000 following the company's voluntary liquidation in January.

Owner-driver Colin Sandiford of Accrington says he is owed £10,000; a number of other owner-drivers and subcontractors are understood to have submitted claims to Ironfield's liquidators.

• The collapse is blamed on unsuitable contracts following the RFS takeover in 1988.

Former J Ironfield management have since set up a new company, Harvestdawn, trading as Ironfield Distribution, at the same GEC Estate site at Clayton le Moors near Accrington.

According to Harvestdawn director Stan Caldfield, about £22,000 could be paid to Harvestdawn employees under the Transfer of Undertakings Act
