3) A transfer of shares without the liquidators's sanction and any alteration in the status of the members is void s.275,

5) Invoices, letters, etc, must state that the company is being wound up s.329

7) The company's employees are automatically dismissed if the company is insolvent (Fowler v Commercial Timber Co.); otherwise probably not.
