USA federal bankruptcy law treats the priority of creditors in this order:
Secured claim by lien, ie a mortgage holder
Priority unsecured claims (incl receivers admin fees, employees
wages/commissions, benefit plan contributions, farmers'/fishermens' claims,
personal prepaid purchases, alimony/child support and any taxes owed, more
or less in that order)
General unsecured claims, incl suppliers
Various late claims, damages and lost interest
The debtor
I don't see any special treatment for directors' pension funds. As a matter
of fact, up here in Canada, directors can be personally sued for unpaid
wages, environmental liabilities etc. UK may be different again.
