Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order brings the Company Directors Disqualification (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 (“the 2005 Order”) fully into operation on 19th December 2005. The 2005 Order amends the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002. The 2005 Order empowers the High Court to disqualify a person from being a company director if a company of which he is a director commits a breach of competition law and the Court considers that his conduct as a director makes him unfit to be concerned in the management of a company.
