(b)there is an insolvency event in relation to the holder.
(2) This Order shall not cease to have effect by virtue of paragraph (1)(a) where a licence granted under Article 8(1)(a) of the Gas Order authorising the holder to convey gas through the pipeline is assigned or revoked but is immediately replaced by a further such licence granted to the same person so as to preserve the continuity of the authorisation of that person to convey gas through the pipeline, or when an Energy Administration Order as defined in Part 2 section 17 of the Energy Act (Northern Ireland) 2011(1) is in force.
(3) For the purpose of paragraph (1)(b) an “insolvency event” occurs in relation to the licence holder referred to in that sub-paragraph if it:—
