Can Creditors Request a Change in Liquidator? Understanding your Rights during Liquidation

This article forms part of a series exploring key procedures and rights under the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta) in the context of company liquidation. While not every step requires a direct court application, creditors and other stakeholders still play an active role in shaping the process.

Legal Update | New Tourism Accommodation Regulations (S.L. 409.24): A Guide for Short-Let Property Owners in Malta

The local market for short-let rented accommodation has grown rapidly over the past decade, with non-collective accommodation, including short-let apartments, houses and villas, increasing its share of inbound tourist accommodation.
