Under Maltese company law, creditors holding at least one-fourth of a company's debt value have the statutory right to request a meeting to potentially replace the Official Receiver as liquidator. This mechanism provides creditors with meaningful influence over the liquidation process, particularly when specialized expertise or a different approach to asset recovery is needed.

Can A Legal Action Be Paused Once A Company Is Being Wound Up?
When a winding up application is filed in Malta, the company doesn't immediately enter liquidation, but certain legal protections activate. Under the Companies Act, the court has discretion to stay ongoing judicial proceedings against the company during this interim period. This mechanism preserves the company's position and ensures all creditors are treated fairly in accordance with insolvency rules.
