Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Rule (including any effects on those provisions):
A foreign representative is entitled to apply directly to the court in Northern Ireland.
The sole fact that an application pursuant to this Law is made to a court in Northern Ireland by a foreign representative does not subject the foreign representative or the foreign assets and affairs of the debtor to the jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland for any purpose other than the application.
A foreign representative appointed in a foreign main proceeding or foreign non-main proceeding is entitled to apply to commence a proceeding under Northern Ireland insolvency law if the conditions for commencing such a proceeding are otherwise met.
Upon recognition of a foreign proceeding, the foreign representative is entitled to participate in a proceeding regarding the debtor under Northern Ireland insolvency law.
1. Subject to paragraph 2, foreign creditors have the same rights regarding the commencement of, and participation in, a proceeding under Northern Ireland insolvency law as creditors in Northern Ireland.N.I.
2. Paragraph 1 does not affect the ranking of claims in a proceeding under Northern Ireland insolvency law, except that the claim of a foreign creditor shall not be given a lower priority than that of general unsecured claims solely because the holder of such a claim is a foreign creditor.N.I.
3. A claim may not be challenged solely on the grounds that it is a claim by a foreign tax or social security authority but such a claim may be challenged—N.I.
(a)on the ground that it is in whole or in part a penalty, or
(b)on any other ground that a claim might be rejected in a proceeding under Northern Ireland insolvency law.

2. Such notification shall be made to the foreign creditors individually, unless—N.I.
(a)the court considers that under the circumstances some other form of notification would be more appropriate; or
(b)the notification to creditors in Northern Ireland is to be by advertisement only, in which case the notification to the known foreign creditors may be by advertisement in such foreign newspapers as the Northern Ireland insolvency officeholder considers most appropriate for ensuring that the content of the notification comes to the notice of the known foreign creditors.
3. When notification of a right to file a claim is to be given to foreign creditors, the notification shall—N.I.
(a)indicate a reasonable time period for filing claims and specify the place for their filing;
