Application for sequestration

Section 12 – Concurrent proceedings for sequestration: recall

29.This section amends section 10A of the 1985 Act to insert, after subsection (3), four new subsections in order to create a power, in the narrow circumstances where a sheriff has directed AiB to dismiss a debtor application under section 10A(3) of the 1985 Act, for AiB to recall that debtor application (i.e. where sequestration has been awarded on the debtor application). This section also makes provision for the consequences of such a recall.
