Director disqualification is a legal process in the UK that prevents an individual from serving as a company director for a specified period, typically due to misconduct or failure to meet legal obligations. This process is governed primarily by the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (CDDA 1986). The Insolvency Service, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, investigates and prosecutes these cases to protect the public and the business community.

Reasons for director disqualification can include:

• Allowing a company to trade while insolvent.
• Not keeping proper company accounting records.
• Failing to send accounts and returns to Companies House.
• Not paying tax owed by the company.
• Using company money or assets for personal benefit.
• Fraudulent or dishonest dealings.
• Breaching specific provisions of company legislation.

Disqualification periods can range from 2 to 15 years, depending on the severity of the conduct. While director disqualification is a civil sanction and does not, by itself, result in a criminal record, breaching a disqualification order is a criminal offense that can lead to fines, imprisonment for up to two years, or both.
