17 February 2009 First you have to verify what for the demand has been raised.

Whether it is for the rate structure, or suppression of sales or any mistakes by clerks or stock problem.

If the mistakes have happened during the course of business with no fault of the directors then you cannot recover from them.

If the mistakes has been happened due the fault of the directors, then it can be recovered from the directors.

Based on your facts of the demand you have choose the option.
