To establish fraudulent trading the tribunal must find transactions knowingly made with dishonest intent to defraud creditors, while wrongful trading targets directors or partners who knew or ought to have known insolvency was inevitable and failed to minimize creditor loss; the tribunal applied these distinct standards and found false entries and collusion between the corporate debtor and the counterparty, concluding receivables were wiped out without actual sales.
