I could be wrong, but my understanding is that liability stops at the boundary of the assets.
This seems to extend that boundary; in effect the limited company and its agents can have liabilities/responsibilities greater than its assets.
In cases of criminal intent/fraud, redress can already break those boundaries; although it requires more work and can be countered with bankruptcy; so is this measure just hot-air being blown around to sound like something, which will amount to nothing, or is there something new in it?
