Insolvency of companies in tz

[Madam Koku]

Hi people,
I would like to know generally if a company is wound up (any kind of winding up)due to insolvency in Tz, is there any legal way to protect the creditors? The status of employees for example, do they practicaly get their benefits? (i.e any kind of debts). What about big creditors like banks how are they protected?
I am much interested in the practical part especialy at the curent situation where most of the companies are no longer under state ownership.
Thanks.

It depends on what type of creditor you are, Secured Creditors are considered first therefore if the company has any assets they get first consideration when it comes liquidation time, then the unsecured creditors get whatever if anything that is left.
If the company has no assets at time of liquidation than tough luck no one gets anything.
Employees are considered secured creditors as far as I can tell.

Take a look at the Companies Act for details
