Part A1Chapter 1A11This Part contains provision that enables an eligible company, in certain circumstances, to obtain a moratorium, giving it various protections from creditors set out in this Part.2In this Chapter section A2 introduces Schedule ZA1 (which defines what is meant by an “eligible” company).3Chapter 2 sets out how an eligible company may obtain a moratorium.4Chapter 3 sets out for how long a moratorium has effect.5Chapter 4 sets out the effects of a moratorium on the company and its creditors.6Chapter 5 contains provision about the monitor.7Chapter 6 contains provision about challenges.8Chapter 7 contains provision about certain offences.9Chapter 8 contains miscellaneous and general provision, including—aspecial provision for certain kinds of company;bdefinitions for the purposes of this Part;cprovision about regulations under this Part.A2Schedule ZA1 contains provision for determining whether a company is an eligible company for the purposes of this Part.Chapter 2A31This section applies to an eligible company that—ais not subject to an outstanding winding-up petition, andbis not an overseas company.2The directors of the company may obtain a moratorium for the company by filing the relevant documents with the court (for the relevant documents, see section A6).3For the purposes of this Chapter a company is “subject to an outstanding winding-up petition” if—aa petition for the winding up of the company has been presented, andbthe petition has not been withdrawn or determined.A41This section applies to an eligible company that is subject to an outstanding winding-up petition.2The directors of the company may apply to the court for a moratorium for the company.3The application must be accompanied by the relevant documents (for the relevant documents, see section A6).4On hearing the application the court may—amake an order that the company should be subject to a moratorium, orbmake any other order which the court thinks appropriate.5The court may make an order under subsection (4)(a) only if it is satisfied that a moratorium for the company would achieve a better result for the company’s creditors as a whole than would be likely if the company were wound up (without first being subject to a moratorium).A51This section applies to an eligible company that—ais not subject to an outstanding winding-up petition, andbis an overseas company.2The directors of the company may apply to the court for a moratorium for the company.3The application must be accompanied by the relevant documents (for the relevant documents, see section A6).4On hearing the application the court may—amake an order that the company should be subject to a moratorium, orbmake any other order which the court thinks appropriate.A61For the purposes of this Chapter, “the relevant documents” are—aa notice that the directors wish to obtain a moratorium,ba statement from a qualified person (“the proposed monitor”) that the person—iis a qualified person, andiiconsents to act as the monitor in relation to the proposed moratorium,ca statement from the proposed monitor that the company is an eligible company,da statement from the directors that, in their view, the company is, or is likely to become, unable to pay its debts, andea statement from the proposed monitor that, in the proposed monitor’s view, it is likely that a moratorium for the company would result in the rescue of the company as a going concern.2Where it is proposed that more than one person should act as the monitor in relation to the proposed moratorium—aeach of them must make a statement under subsection (1)(b), (c) and (e), andbthe statement under subsection (1)(b) must specify—iwhich functions (if any) are to be exercised by the persons acting jointly, andiiwhich functions (if any) are to be exercised by any or all of the persons.3The rules may make provision about the date on which a statement comprised in the relevant documents must be made.4The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this section for the purposes of adding to the list of documents in subsection (1).5Regulations under subsection (4) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.A71A moratorium for a company comes into force at the time at which—ain the case of a company to which section A3 applies, the relevant documents are filed with the court under subsection (2) of that section;bin the case of a company to which section A4 applies, an order is made under section A4(4)(a);cin the case of a company to which section A5 applies, an order is made under section A5(4)(a).2On the coming into force of a moratorium, the person or persons who made the statement mentioned in section A6(1)(b) become the monitor in relation to the moratorium.A81As soon as reasonably practicable after a moratorium for a company comes into force, the directors must notify the monitor of that fact.2As soon as reasonably practicable after receiving a notice under subsection (1), the monitor must notify the following that a moratorium for the company has come into force—athe registrar of companies,bevery creditor of the company of whose claim the monitor is aware,cin a case where the company is or has been an employer in respect of an occupational pension scheme that is not a money purchase scheme, the Pensions Regulator, anddin a case where the company is an employer in respect of such a pension scheme that is an eligible scheme within the meaning given by section 126 of the Pensions Act 2004, the Board of the Pension Protection Fund.3A notice under subsection (2) must specify—awhen the moratorium came into force, andbwhen, subject to any alteration under or by virtue of any of the provisions mentioned in section A9(3) or (4), the moratorium will come to an end.4If the directors fail to comply with subsection (1), any director who did not have a reasonable excuse for the failure commits an offence.5If the monitor without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (2), the monitor commits an offence.Chapter 3A91A moratorium ends at the end of the initial period unless it is extended, or comes to an end sooner, under or by virtue of a provision mentioned in subsection (3) or (4).2In this Chapter “the initial period”, in relation to a moratorium, means the period of 20 business days beginning with the business day after the day on which the moratorium comes into force.3For provision under or by virtue of which a moratorium is or may be extended, see—section A10 (extension by directors without creditor consent);section A11 (extension by directors with creditor consent);section A13 (extension by court on application of directors);section A14 (extension while proposal for CVA pending);section A15 (extension by court in course of other proceedings).4For provision under or by virtue of which the moratorium is or may be terminated, see—section A16 (termination on entry into insolvency procedure etc);section A38 (termination by monitor);section A42 or A44 (termination by court).5A moratorium may not be extended under a provision mentioned in subsection (3) once it has come to an end.6Where the application of two or more of the provisions mentioned in subsections (3) and (4) would produce a different length of moratorium, the provision that applies last is to prevail (irrespective of whether that results in a shorter or longer moratorium).A101During the initial period, but after the first 15 business days of that period, the directors may extend the moratorium by filing with the court—aa notice that the directors wish to extend the moratorium,ba statement from the directors that all of the following that have fallen due have been paid or otherwise discharged—imoratorium debts, andiipre-moratorium debts for which the company does not have a payment holiday during the moratorium (see section A18),ca statement from the directors that, in their view, the company is, or is likely to become, unable to pay its pre-moratorium debts, andda statement from the monitor that, in the monitor’s view, it is likely that the moratorium will result in the rescue of the company as a going concern.2The rules may make provision about the date on which a statement mentioned in subsection (1) must be made.3On the filing with the court of the documents mentioned in subsection (1), the moratorium is extended so that it ends at the end of the period—abeginning immediately after the initial period ends, andbending with the 20th business day after the initial period ends.A111At any time after the first 15 business days of the initial period the directors may, if they have obtained creditor consent, extend the moratorium by filing with the court—aa notice that the directors wish to extend the moratorium,ba statement from the directors that all of the following that have fallen due have been paid or otherwise discharged—imoratorium debts, andiipre-moratorium debts for which the company does not have a payment holiday during the moratorium (see section A18),ca statement from the directors that, in their view, the company is, or is likely to become, unable to pay its pre-moratorium debts,da statement from the monitor that, in the monitor’s view, it is likely that the moratorium will result in the rescue of the company as a going concern, andea statement from the directors that creditor consent has been obtained, and of the revised end date for which that consent was obtained.2The rules may make provision about the date on which a statement mentioned in subsection (1) must be made.3On the filing with the court of the documents mentioned in subsection (1), the moratorium is extended so that it ends with the revised end date mentioned in the statement under subsection (1)(e).4A moratorium may be extended under this section more than once.A121References in section A11 to creditor consent are to the consent of pre-moratorium creditors to a revised end date for the moratorium.2The decision as to consent is to be made using a qualifying decision procedure.3The revised end date must be a date before the end of the period of one year beginning with the first day of the initial period.4In this section “pre-moratorium creditor” means a creditor in respect of a pre-moratorium debt—afor which the company has a payment holiday during the moratorium (see section A18), andbwhich has not been paid or otherwise discharged.5In determining for the purposes of subsection (4) what counts as a pre-moratorium debt for which the company has a payment holiday during the moratorium, sections A18(3) and A53(1)(b) apply as if the references to the moratorium were to the moratorium as proposed to be extended.6The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this section for the purposes of changing the definition of “pre-moratorium creditor”.7Regulations under subsection (6) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.A131At any time after the first 15 business days of the initial period, the directors may apply to the court for an order that the moratorium be extended.2The application must be accompanied by—aa statement from the directors that all of the following that have fallen due have been paid or otherwise discharged—imoratorium debts, andiipre-moratorium debts for which the company does not have a payment holiday during the moratorium (see section A18),ba statement from the directors that, in their view, the company is, or is likely to become, unable to pay its pre-moratorium debts,ca statement from the directors as to whether pre-moratorium creditors (as defined by section A12(4) and (5)) have been consulted about the application and if not why not, andda statement from the monitor that, in the monitor’s view, it is likely that the moratorium will result in the rescue of the company as a going concern.3The rules may make provision about the date on which a statement mentioned in subsection (2) must be made.4On hearing the application the court may—amake an order that the moratorium be extended to such date as is specified in the order, orbmake any other order which the court thinks appropriate.5In deciding whether to make an order under subsection (4)(a) the court must, in particular, consider the following—athe interests of pre-moratorium creditors, as defined by section A12(4) and (5), andbthe likelihood that the extension of the moratorium will result in the rescue of the company as a going concern.6Subsection (7) applies where—aan application under this section is made, andbapart from that subsection, the moratorium would end at a time before the application has been disposed of.7The moratorium—adoes not end at the time mentioned in subsection (6)(b), andbinstead, ends—iin a case in which the court makes an order under subsection (4)(a), in accordance with the order;iiotherwise, when the application is withdrawn or disposed of.8A moratorium may be extended under this section more than once.A141Subsection (2) applies where—aat any time, the directors make a proposal under Part 1 (company voluntary arrangements), andbapart from that subsection, the moratorium would end at a time before the proposal is disposed of.2The moratorium—adoes not end at the time mentioned in subsection (1)(b), andbinstead, ends when the proposal is disposed of.3For the purposes of this section a proposal under Part 1 is “disposed of” when any of the following takes place—athe company and its creditors both decide under section 4 not to approve the voluntary arrangement contained in the proposal;bthe decisions taken by the company and its creditors under section 4 differ, and—ithe period for making an application under section 4A(3) expires and either no application has been made within that period or any application made within that period has been withdrawn, oriian application is made under section 4A(3) and that application is disposed of, or it is withdrawn after the expiry of the period for making an application under section 4A(3);cthe voluntary arrangement contained in the proposal takes effect under section 5;dthe proposal is withdrawn.A151Subsection (2) applies where—aan application is made under section 896 or 901C(1) of the Companies Act 2006 (arrangements and reconstructions: court order for holding of meeting) in respect of a company, andbduring proceedings before a court in connection with the application, a moratorium for the company is in force.2The court may make an order that the moratorium be extended to such date as is specified in the order.A161A moratorium comes to an end at any time at which the company—aenters into a compromise or arrangement (see subsection (2)), orbenters into a relevant insolvency procedure (see subsection (3)).2For the purposes of this section a company enters into a compromise or arrangement if an order under section 899 or 901F of the Companies Act 2006 (court sanction for compromise or arrangement) comes into effect in relation to the company.3For the purposes of this section a company enters into a relevant insolvency procedure if—aa voluntary arrangement takes effect under section 5 in relation to the company,bthe company enters administration (within the meaning of Schedule B1 (see paragraph 1(2)(b) of that Schedule)),cparagraph 44 of Schedule B1 (administration: interim moratorium) begins to apply in relation to the company, ordthe company goes into liquidation (see section 247).A171The table imposes obligations on the directors

subsection (1)—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the grant of the security commits an offence.5For the consequences of a company granting security over its property in contravention of subsection (1), see also section A23.6The monitor may not give consent under this section if the granting of security is an offence under section A27.A271If a company enters into a transaction to which this section applies during a moratorium for the company—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the company to enter into the transaction commits an offence.2A company enters into a transaction to which this section applies if it—aenters into a market contract,benters into a financial collateral arrangement,cgives a transfer order,dgrants a market charge or a system-charge, oreprovides any collateral security.3Where during the moratorium a company enters into a transaction to which this section applies, nothing done by or in pursuance of the transaction is to be treated as done in contravention of any of sections A19, A21, A25, A26 and A28 to A32.4In this section—“collateral security” has the same meaning as in the Financial Markets and Insolvency (Settlement Finality) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2979);“financial collateral arrangement” has the same meaning as in the Financial Collateral Arrangements (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3226);“market charge” has the same meaning as in Part 7 of the Companies Act 1989;“market contract” has the same meaning as in Part 7 of the Companies Act 1989;“system-charge” has the meaning given by the Financial Markets and Insolvency Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/1469);“transfer order” has the same meaning as in the Financial Markets and Insolvency (Settlement Finality) Regulations 1999.A281During a moratorium, the company may make one or more relevant payments to a person that (in total) exceed the specified maximum amount only if—athe monitor consents,bthe payment is in pursuance of a court order, orcthe payment is required by section A31(3) or A32(3).2In subsection (1)—“relevant payments” means payments in respect of pre-moratorium debts for which the company has a payment holiday during the moratorium (see section A18);“specified maximum amount” means an amount equal to the greater of—£5000, and1% of the value of the debts and other liabilities owed by the company to its unsecured creditors when the moratorium began, to the extent that the amount of such debts and liabilities can be ascertained at that time.3The monitor may give consent under subsection (1)(a) only if the monitor thinks that it will support the rescue of the company as a going concern.4In deciding whether to give consent under subsection (1)(a), the monitor is entitled to rely on information provided by the company unless the monitor has reason to doubt its accuracy.5If the company makes a payment to which subsection (1) applies otherwise than as authorised by that subsection—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the payment commits an offence.A291During a moratorium, the company may dispose of its property only if authorised by subsection (2) or (5).2In the case of property that is not subject to a security interest, the company may dispose of the property if—athe disposal is made in the ordinary way of the company’s business,bthe monitor consents, orcthe disposal is in pursuance of a court order.3The monitor may give consent under subsection (2)(b) only if the monitor thinks that it will support the rescue of the company as a going concern.4In deciding whether to give consent under subsection (2)(b), the monitor is entitled to rely on information provided by the company unless the monitor has reason to doubt its accuracy.5In the case of property that is subject to a security interest, the company may dispose of the property if the disposal is in accordance with—asection A31(1), orbthe terms of the security.6If the company disposes of its property during the moratorium otherwise than as authorised by this section—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the disposal commits an offence.A301During a moratorium, the company may dispose of any goods in the possession of the company under a hire-purchase agreement only if the disposal is in accordance with —asection A32(1), orbthe terms of the agreement.2If the company disposes of goods in the possession of the company under a hire-purchase agreement otherwise than as authorised by subsection (1)—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the disposal commits an offence.A311During a moratorium, the company may, with the permission of the court, dispose of property which is subject to a security interest as if it were not subject to the security interest.2The court may give permission under subsection (1) only if the court thinks that it will support the rescue of the company as a going concern.3Where the court gives permission under subsection (1) other than in relation to a floating charge, the company must apply the following towards discharging the sums secured—athe net proceeds of disposal of the property, andbany money required to be added to the net proceeds so as to produce the amount determined by the court as the net amount which would be realised on a sale of the property in the open market by a willing vendor.4Where the permission relates to two or more security interests, the condition in subsection (3) requires the application of money in the order of the priorities of the security interests.5Where property subject to a floating charge is disposed of under subsection (1), the holder of the floating charge has the same priority in respect of acquired property as they had in respect of the property disposed of.6In subsection (5) “acquired property” means property of the company which directly or indirectly represents the property disposed of.7Where the court makes an order giving permission under subsection (1), the directors must, within the period of 14 days beginning with the date of the order, send a copy of it to the registrar of companies.8If the directors fail to comply with subsection (7), any director who did not have a reasonable excuse for the failure commits an offence.9Where property in Scotland is disposed of under subsection (1), the company must grant to the disponee an appropriate document of transfer or conveyance of the property, and—athat document, orbrecording, intimation or registration of that document (where recording, intimation or registration of the document is a legal requirement for completion of title to the property),has the effect of disencumbering the property of or, as the case may be, freeing the property from, the security interest.10If a company fails to comply with subsection (3) or (9)—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the failure commits an offence.11Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to any property which is subject to a financial collateral arrangement, a market charge, a system-charge or a collateral security (as defined by section A27).A321During a moratorium, the company may, with the permission of the court, dispose of goods which are in the possession of the company under a hire-purchase agreement as if all of the rights of the owner under the agreement were vested in the company.2The court may give permission under subsection (1) only if the court thinks that it will support the rescue of the company as a going concern.3Where the court gives permission under subsection (1), the company must apply the following towards discharging the sums payable under the hire-purchase agreement—athe net proceeds of disposal of the goods, andbany additional money required to be added to the net proceeds so as to produce the amount determined by the court as the net amount which would be realised on a sale of the goods in the open market by a willing vendor.4If a company fails to comply with subsection (3)—athe company commits an offence, andbany officer of the company who without reasonable excuse authorised or permitted the failure commits an offence.5Where the court makes an order giving permission under subsection (1), the directors must, within the period of 14 days beginning with the date of the order, send a copy of it to the registrar of companies.6If the directors fail to comply with subsection (5), any director who did not have a reasonable excuse for the failure commits an offence.7In Scotland, where goods in the possession of the company under a hire-purchase agreement are disposed of under subsection (1), the disposal has the effect of extinguishing, as against the disponee, all rights of the owner of the goods under the agreement.A33The fact that a company contravenes section A19 or any of sections A25 to A32 does not—amake any transaction void or unenforceable, orbaffect the validity of any other thing.CHAPTER 5A34The monitor in relation to a moratorium is an officer of the court.A351During a moratorium, the monitor must monitor the company’s affairs for the purpose of forming a view as to whether it remains likely that the moratorium will result in the rescue of the company as a going concern.2In forming the view mentioned in subsection (1), the monitor is entitled to rely on information provided by the company, unless the monitor has reason to doubt its accuracy.A361The monitor may require the directors of the company to provide any information required by the monitor for the purpose of carrying out the monitor’s functions.2The directors must comply with a requirement to provide information as soon as practicable.3For the potential consequences of failing to comply with a requirement to provide information, see section A38.A37The monitor in relation to a moratorium may apply to the court for directions about the carrying out of the monitor’s functions.A381The monitor must bring a moratorium to an end by filing a notice with the court if—athe monitor thinks that the moratorium is no longer likely to result in the rescue of the company as a going concern,bthe monitor thinks that the objective of rescuing the company as a going concern has been achieved,cthe monitor thinks that, by reason of a failure by the directors to comply with a requirement under section A36, the monitor is unable properly to carry out the monitor’s functions, ordthe monitor thinks that the company is unable to pay any of the following that have fallen due—imoratorium debts;iipre-moratorium debts for which the company does not have a payment holiday during the moratorium (see section A18).2The rules may provide for debts that are to be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (1)(d).3On the filing with the court of a notice under subsection (1), the moratorium comes to an end.4The rules may make provision about the timing of a notice required to be given under subsection (1).5The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this section for the purposes of changing the circumstances in which the monitor must bring a moratorium to an end under subsection (1).6Regulations under subsection (5) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.7See also section A17 (obligations to notify change in end of moratorium).A391The court may make an order authorising the appointment of a qualified person to act as the monitor in relation to a moratorium instead of, or in addition to, a person who already acts as the monitor.2The court may make an order providing that a person ceases to act as the monitor in relation to a moratorium.3An order under subsection (1) or (2) may be made only on an application by the directors or the monitor.4The court may make an order authorising the appointment of a monitor under subsection (1) only if the person has provided the court with a statement that the person—ais a qualified person, andbconsents to act as the monitor in relation to the moratorium.5Where it is proposed that more than one person should act as the monitor in relation to the moratorium, the statement under subsection (4) must specify—awhich functions (if any) are to be exercised by the persons acting jointly, andbwhich functions (if any) are to be exercised by any or all of the persons.6The rules may make provision about the date on which the statement under subsection (4) must be made.7Where the court makes an order under subsection (1) or (2) the person begins to act as the monitor, or ceases to act as the monitor, in relation to the moratorium at the time specified in, or determined in accordance with, the order (“the relevant time”).8As soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant time, the monitor must notify the following of the effect of the order—athe registrar of companies,bevery creditor of the company of whose claim the monitor is aware,cin a case where the company is or has been an employer in respect of an occupational pension scheme that is not a money purchase scheme, the Pensions Regulator, anddin a case where the company is an employer in respect of such a pension scheme that is an eligible scheme within the meaning given by section 126 of the Pensions Act 2004, the Board of the Pension Protection Fund.9If the monitor without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (8), the monitor commits an offence.A401Where two or more persons act jointly as the monitor—aa reference in this Act to the monitor is a reference to those persons acting jointly;bwhere an offence of omission is committed by the monitor, each of the persons appointed to act jointly—icommits the offence, andiimay be proceeded against and punished individually.2Where persons act jointly in respect of only some of the functions of the monitor, subsection (1) applies only in relation to those functions.3Where two or more persons act concurrently as the monitor a reference in this Act to the monitor is a reference to any of the persons appointed (or any combination of them).A41An act of the monitor is valid in spite of a defect in the monitor’s appointment or qualification.Chapter 6A421Any of the persons specified below may apply to the court on the ground that an act, omission or decision of the monitor during a moratorium has unfairly harmed the interests of the applicant.2The persons who may apply are—aa creditor, director or member of the company, orbany other person affected by the moratorium.3An application under subsection (1) may be made during the moratorium or after it has ended.4On an application under subsection (1) the court may—aconfirm, reverse or modify any act or decision of the monitor,bgive the monitor directions, orcmake such other order as it thinks fit (but may not, under this paragraph, order the monitor to pay any compensation).5Where an application under subsection (1) relates to a failure by the monitor to bring the moratorium to an end under section A38(1), an order under subsection (4) may, in particular, bring the moratorium to an end and make such consequential provision as the court thinks fit.6Where an application under subsection (1) relates to the monitor bringing a moratorium to an end under section A38(1), an order under subsection (4) may, in particular, provide that the moratorium is not to be taken into account for the purposes of paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule ZA1 (company not eligible for moratorium if moratorium in force within previous 12 months).7In making an order under subsection (4) the court must have regard to the need to safeguard the interests of persons who have dealt with the company in good faith and for value.8See also section A17 (obligations to notify change in end of moratorium).A431The rules may confer on an administrator or liquidator of a company the right to apply to the court on the ground that remuneration charged by the monitor in relation to a prior moratorium for the company was excessive.2Rules under subsection (1) may (among other things) make provision as to—atime limits;bdisposals available to the court;cthe treatment of costs (or, in Scotland, the expenses) of the application in the administration or winding up.A441A creditor or member of a company may apply to the court for an order under this section on the ground that—aduring a moratorium, the company’s affairs, business and property are being or have been managed by the directors in a manner which has unfairly harmed the interests of its creditors or members generally or of some part of its creditors or members (including at least the applicant), orbany actual or proposed act or omission of the directors during a moratorium causes or would cause such harm.2An application under subsection (1) may be made during the moratorium or after it has ended.3On an application under subsection (1) the court may make such order as it thinks fit.4An order under subsection (3) may in particular—aregulate the management by the directors of the company’s affairs, business and property during the remainder of the moratorium,brequire the directors to refrain from doing or continuing an act complained of by the applicant or to do an act which the applicant has complained they have omitted to do,crequire a decision of the company’s creditors to be sought (using a qualifying decision procedure) on such matters as the court may direct, ordbring the moratorium to an end and make such consequential provision as the court thinks fit.5In making an order under subsection (3) the court must have regard to the need to safeguard the interests of persons who have dealt with the company in good faith and for value.6See also section A17 (obligations to notify change in end of moratorium).A451This section applies where—aa moratorium—iis in force in relation to a company that is an employer in respect of an eligible scheme, oriiis or has been in force in relation to a company that has been an employer in respect of an eligible scheme at any time during the moratorium, andbthe trustees or managers of the scheme are a creditor of the company.2The Board of the Pension Protection Fund may make any application under section A42(1) or A44(1) that could be made by the trustees or managers as a creditor.3For the purposes of such an application, any reference in section A42(1) or A44(1) to the interests of the applicant is to be read as a reference to the interests of the trustees or managers as a creditor.4In this section “eligible scheme” has the meaning given by section 126 of the Pensions Act 2004.CHAPTER 7A461An officer of a company commits an offence if, during a moratorium for the company or at any time within the period of 12 months ending with the day on which a moratorium for the company comes into force, the officer—adoes any of the things mentioned in subsection (2), orbwas privy to the doing by others of any of the things mentioned in subsection (2)(c), (d) and (e).2Those things are—aconcealing any part of the company’s property to the value of £500 or more, or concealing any debt due to or from the company,bfraudulently removing any part of the company’s property to the value of £500 or more,cconcealing, destroying, mutilating or falsifying any document affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs,dmaking any false entry in any document affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs,efraudulently parting with, altering or making any omission in any document affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs, orfpawning, pledging or disposing of any property of the company which has been obtained on credit and has not been paid for (unless the pawning, pledging or disposal was in the ordinary way of the company’s business).3It is a defence—afor a person charged with an offence under subsection (1) in respect of any of the things mentioned in subsection (2)(a) or (f) to prove that the person had no intent to defraud, andbfor a person charged with an offence under subsection (1) in respect of any of the things mentioned in subsection (2)(c) or (d) to prove that the person had no intent to conceal the state of affairs of the company or to defeat the law.4Where a person pawns, pledges or disposes of any property of a company in circumstances which amount to an offence under subsection (1), every person who takes in pawn or pledge, or otherwise receives, the property commits an offence if the person knows it to be pawned, pledged or disposed of in circumstances which—aamount to an offence under subsection (1), orbwould, if a moratorium were obtained for the company within the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which the pawning, pledging or disposal took place, amount to an offence under subsection (1).5In this section, “officer” includes a shadow director.A471An officer of a company commits an offence if, for the purpose of obtaining a moratorium for the company or an extension of a moratorium for the company, the officer—amakes any false representation, orbfraudulently does, or omits to do, anything.2Subsection (1) applies even if no moratorium or extension is obtained.3In this section, “officer” includes a shadow director.A481This section applies where a moratorium has been obtained for a company.2If it appears to the monitor that any past or present officer of the company has committed an offence in connection with the moratorium, the monitor must forthwith—areport the matter to the appropriate authority, andbprovide the appropriate authority with such information and give the authority such access to and facilities for inspecting and taking copies of documents (being information or documents in the possession or under the control of the monitor and relating to the matter in question) as the authority requires.3In subsection (2), “the appropriate authority”—ain the case of a company registered in England and Wales, means the Secretary of State,bin the case of a company registered in Scotland, means the Lord Advocate, andcin the case of an unregistered company means—iif it has a principal place of business in England and Wales but not Scotland, the Secretary of State,iiif it has a principal place of business in Scotland but not England and Wales, the Lord Advocate,iiiif it has a principal place of business in both England and Wales and Scotland, the Secretary of State and the Lord Advocate, andivif it does not have a principal place of business in England and Wales or Scotland, the Secretary of State.4Where a matter is reported to the Secretary of State under subsection (2), the Secretary of State may, for the purpose of investigating the matter and such other matters relating to the affairs of the company as appear to the Secretary of State to require investigation, exercise any of the powers which are exercisable by inspectors appointed under section 431 or 432 of the Companies Act 1985.5For the purpose of such an investigation any obligation imposed on a person by any provision of the Companies Acts to produce documents or give information to, or otherwise to assist, inspectors so appointed is to be regarded as an obligation similarly to assist the Secretary of State in the Secretary of State’s investigation.6Where a question is put to a person in exercise of the powers conferred by subsection (4), the person’s answer may be used in evidence against them.7However, in criminal proceedings in which the person is charged with an offence other than a false statement offence—ano evidence relating to the answer may be adduced, andbno question relating to it may be asked,by or on behalf of the prosecution, unless evidence relating to it is adduced, or a question relating to it is asked, in the proceedings by or on behalf of the person.8In subsection (7) “false statement offence” means—aan offence under section 2 or 5 of the Perjury Act 1911 (false statements made on oath otherwise than in judicial proceedings or made otherwise than on oath), orban offence under section 44(1) or (2) of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (false statements made on oath or otherwise than on oath).9Where a prosecuting authority institutes criminal proceedings following any report under subsection (2), the monitor, and every officer and agent of the company past and present (other than the defendant or defender), must give the authority all assistance in connection with the prosecution which they are reasonably able to give.10For this purpose—“agent” includes any banker or solicitor of the company and any person employed by the company as auditor, whether that person is or is not an officer of the company;“prosecuting authority” means the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate or the Secretary of State.11The court may, on the application of the prosecuting authority, direct a person who has failed to comply with subsection (9) to comply with it.Chapter 8A491For the purposes of sections A3 and A4 as they apply in relation to a regulated company, section A6(1) has effect as if the documents listed there included a reference to the written consent of the appropriate regulator to the appointment of the proposed monitor.2The remaining provisions of this section apply in relation to a moratorium for a regulated company.3Any notice under section A8(2), A17(2) to (4) or A39(8) must also be sent by the monitor to the appropriate regulator.4The directors must give the appropriate regulator notice of any qualifying decision procedure by which a decision of the company’s creditors is sought for the purposes of section A12(2) or A44(4)(c).5If the directors fail to comply with subsection (4), any director who did not have a reasonable excuse for the failure commits an offence.6The appropriate regulator, or a person appointed by the appropriate regulator, may in the way provided for by the rules, participate (but not vote) in any qualifying decision procedure by which a decision of the company’s creditors is sought for the purposes of this Part.7The appropriate regulator is entitled to be heard on any application to the court for permission under section A31(1) or A32(1) (disposal of charged property, etc).8The court may make an order under section A39(1) only if the appropriate regulator has given its written consent to the appointment of the proposed monitor.9The persons who may apply to the court under section A39(3), A42(1) or A44(1) include the appropriate regulator.10If a person other than a regulator applies to the court under section A39(3), A42(1) or A44(1) the appropriate regulator is entitled to be heard on the application.11If either regulator makes an application to the court under section A39(3), A42(1) or A44(1) in relation to a PRA-regulated company, the other regulator is entitled to be heard on the application.12This section does not affect any right that the appropriate regulator has (apart from this section) as a creditor of a regulated company.13In this section—“the appropriate regulator” means—where the regulated company is a PRA-regulated company, each of the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, andwhere the regulated company is not a PRA-regulated company, the Financial Conduct Authority;“PRA-authorised person” has the meaning given by section 2B(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000;“PRA-regulated company” means a regulated company which—is, or has been, a PRA-authorised person,is, or has been, an appointed representative within the meaning given by section 39 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, whose principal (or one of whose principals) is, or was, a PRA-authorised person, oris carrying on, or has carried on, a PRA-regulated activity (within the meaning of section 22A of that Act) in contravention of the general prohibition;“regulated activity” has the meaning given by section 22 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, taken with Schedule 2 to that Act and any order under that section;“regulated company” means a company which—is, or has been, an authorised person within the meaning given by section 31 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000,is, or has been, an appointed representative within the meaning given by section 39 of that Act, oris carrying on, or has carried on, a regulated activity in contravention of the general prohibition within the meaning given by section 19 of that Act;“regulator” means the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority.14The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this section for the purposes of changing the definition of “regulated company” in subsection (13).15Regulations under subsection (14) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.A501The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision under the law of England and Wales or Scotland—ato modify this Part as it applies in relation to a company for which there is a special administration regime, orbin connection with the interaction between this Part and any other insolvency procedure in relation to such a company.2The Welsh Ministers may by regulations make provision under the law of England and Wales—ato modify this Part as it applies in relation to a company that is a social landlord registered under Part 1 of the Housing Act 1996, orbmake provision in connection with the interaction between this Part and any other insolvency procedure in relation to such a company.3The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make provision under the law of Scotland—ato modify this Part as it applies in relation to a company that is a social landlord registered under Part 2 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 17),

under the law of England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland that appears to the Secretary of State to be appropriate in view of provision made under subsection (1), (2) or (3).5The power in subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) may, in particular, be used to amend, repeal, revoke or otherwise modify any provision made by an enactment.6Regulations under subsection (1) or (4) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.7A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (2) may not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing them has been laid before and approved by a resolution of Senedd Cymru.8Regulations made by the Scottish Ministers under subsection (3) are subject to the affirmative procedure (see section 29 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (asp 10)).9In this section—“insolvency procedure” includes—in relation to subsection (1)(b), the provision made by sections 143A to 159 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008;in relation to subsection (2)(b), the provision made by sections 39 to 50 of the Housing Act 1996;in relation to subsection (3)(b), the provision made by Part 7 of the Housing (Scotland) Act

oriiis or has been in force in relation to a company that has been an employer in respect of an eligible scheme at any time during the moratorium, andbthe trustees or managers of the scheme are a creditor of the company,the Board of the Pension Protection Fund may exercise any of the following rights.2The rights are those which are exercisable by the trustees or managers as a creditor of the company under or by virtue of—asection A12, orba court order under section A44(4)(c).3Regulations under subsection (1) may provide that the Board may exercise any such rights—ato the exclusion of the trustees or managers of the scheme, orbin addition to the exercise of those rights by the trustees or managers of the scheme.4Regulations under subsection (1)—amay specify conditions that must be met before the Board may exercise any such rights;bmay provide for any such rights to be exercisable by the Board for a specified period;cmay make provision in connection with any such rights ceasing to be so exercisable at the end of such a period.5Regulations under subsection (1) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.6In this section “eligible scheme” has the meaning given by section 126 of the Pensions Act 2004.A521A provision in an instrument creating a floating charge is void if it provides for the obtaining of a moratorium, or anything done with a view to obtaining a moratorium, to be—aan event causing the floating charge to crystallise,ban event causing restrictions which would not otherwise apply to be imposed on the disposal of property by the company, orca ground for the appointment of a receiver.2The reference in subsection (1) to anything done with a view to obtaining a moratorium includes any preliminary decision or investigation.3In subsection (1) “receiver” includes a manager and a person who is appointed both receiver and manager.4Subsection (1) does not apply to a provision in an instrument creating a floating charge that is—aa collateral

Arrangements (No. 2) Regulations 2003 (S.I. 2003/3226));da system-charge (as defined by section A27).A531In this Part “pre-moratorium debt”, in relation to a company for which a moratorium is or has been in force, means—aany debt or other liability to which the company becomes subject before the moratorium comes into force, orbany debt or other liability to which the company has become or may become subject during the moratorium by reason of any obligation incurred before the moratorium comes into force,but this is subject to subsection (3).2In this Part “moratorium debt”, in relation to a company for which a moratorium is or has been in force, means—aany debt or other liability to which the company becomes subject during the moratorium, other than by reason of an obligation incurred before the moratorium came into force, orbany debt or other liability to which the company has become or may become subject after the end of the moratorium by reason of an obligation incurred during the moratorium,but this is subject to subsection (3).3For the purposes of this Part—aa liability in tort or delict is a “pre-moratorium debt” if either—ithe cause of action has accrued before the moratorium comes into force, oriiall the elements necessary to establish the cause of action exist before the moratorium comes into force except for actionable damage;ba liability in tort or delict is a “moratorium debt” if it does not fall within paragraph (a) and either—ithe cause of action has accrued during the moratorium, oriiall the elements necessary to establish the cause of action exist before the moratorium comes to an end except for actionable damage.4The Secretary of State may by regulations amend this section for the purposes of changing the definition of “pre-moratorium debt” or

not the liquidator or administrator of the company ....2The nominee shall, within 28 days (or such longer period as the court may allow) after he is given notice of the proposal for a voluntary arrangement, submit a report to the court stating—awhether, in his opinion, the proposed voluntary arrangement has a reasonable prospect of being approved and implemented,bwhether, in his opinion, the proposal should be considered by a meeting of the company and by the company's creditors, andcif in his opinion it should, the date on which, and time and place at which, he proposes a meeting of the

date and place as he thinks fit, andbseek a decision from the company's creditors as to whether they approve the proposal.3A decision of the company's creditors as to whether they approve the proposal is to be made by a qualifying decision procedure.4Notice of the qualifying decision procedure must be given to every creditor of the company of whose claim and address the person seeking the decision is aware.41This section applies where, under section 3—aa meeting of the company is summoned to consider the proposed voluntary arrangement, andbthe company's creditors are asked to decide whether to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement.1AThe company and its creditors may approve the proposed voluntary arrangement with or without modifications.2The modifications may include one conferring the functions proposed to be conferred on the nominee on another person qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner ... in relation to the voluntary arrangement.But they shall not include any modification by virtue of which the proposal ceases to be a proposal such as is mentioned in section 1.3Neither the company nor its creditors may approve any proposal or modification which affects the right of a secured creditor of the company to enforce his security, except with the concurrence of the creditor concerned.4Subject as follows, neither the company nor its creditors may approve any proposal or modification under which—aany preferential debt of the company is to be paid otherwise than in priority to such of its debts as are not preferential debts, ...aaany ordinary preferential debt of the company is to be paid otherwise than in priority to any secondary preferential debts that it may have,ba preferential creditor of the company is to be paid an amount in respect of an ordinary preferential debt that bears to that debt a smaller proportion than is borne to another ordinary preferential debt by the amount that is to be paid in respect of that other debt , ...ca preferential creditor of the company is to be paid an amount in respect of a secondary preferential debt that bears to that debt a smaller proportion than is borne to another secondary preferential debt by the amount that is to be paid in respect of that other debt. ordin the case of a company which is a relevant financial institution (see section 387A), any non-preferential debt is to be paid otherwise than in accordance with the rules in section 176AZA(2) or (3).However, ... such a proposal or modification may be approved with the concurrence of the ... creditor concerned.4ASubject to subsection (4B), where the nominee’s report under section 2(2) is submitted to the court before the end of the period of 12 weeks beginning with the day after the end of any moratorium for the company under Part A1, neither the company nor its creditors may approve any proposal or modification under which the following are to be paid otherwise than in full—amoratorium debts (within the meaning given by section 174A);bpriority pre-moratorium debts (within the meaning given by section 174A).4BSubsection (4A) does not prevent the approval of such a proposal or modification with the concurrence of the creditor concerned.5Subject as above, the meeting of the company and the qualifying decision procedure shall be conducted in accordance with the rules.6After the conclusion of the company meeting in accordance with the rules, the chairman of the meeting shall report the result of the meeting to the court, and, immediately after reporting to the court, shall give notice of the result of the meeting to such persons as may be prescribed.6AAfter the company's creditors have decided whether to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement the person who sought the decision must—areport the creditors' decision to the court, andbimmediately after reporting to the court, give notice of the creditors' decision to such persons as may be prescribed.7References in this section to preferential debts , ordinary preferential debts, secondary preferential debts and preferential creditors are to be read in accordance with section 386 in Part XII of this Act.4A1This section applies to a decision, under section 4, with respect to the approval of a proposed voluntary arrangement.2The decision has effect if, in accordance with the rules—ait has been taken by the meeting of the company summoned under section 3 and by the company's creditors pursuant to that section, orb(subject to any order made under subsection (6)) it has been taken by the company's creditors pursuant to that section.3If the decision taken by the company's creditors differs from that taken by the company meeting, a member of the company may apply to the court.4An application under subsection (3) shall not be made after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with—athe day on which the decision was taken by the company's creditors, orbwhere the decision of the company meeting was taken on a later day, that day.5Where a member of a regulated company, as defined by section A49(13), applies to the court under subsection (3), the appropriate regulator is entitled to be heard on the application.5AThe appropriate regulator” means—awhere the regulated company is a PRA-regulated company as defined by section A49(13), the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority, andbin any other case, the Financial Conduct Authority.6On an application under subsection (3), the court may—aorder the decision of the company meeting to have effect instead of the decision of the company's creditors, orbmake such other order as it thinks fit.51This section applies where a decision approving a voluntary arrangement has effect under section 4A.2The ... voluntary arrangement—atakes effect as if made by the company at the time the creditors decided to approve the voluntary arrangement, andbbinds every person who in accordance with the rules—iwas entitled to vote in the qualifying decision procedure by which the creditors' decision to approve the voluntary arrangement was made, oriiwould have been so entitled if he had had notice of it,as if he were a party to the voluntary arrangement.2AIf—awhen the arrangement ceases to have effect any amount payable under the arrangement to a person bound by virtue of subsection (2)(b)(ii) has not been paid, andbthe arrangement did not come to an end prematurely,the company shall at that time become liable to pay to that person the amount payable under the arrangement.3Subject as follows, if the company is being wound up or is in administration, the court may do one or both of the following, namely—aby order stay or sist all proceedings in the winding up or provide for the appointment of the administrator to cease to have effect;bgive such directions with respect to the conduct of the winding up or the administration as it thinks appropriate for facilitating the implementation of the ... voluntary arrangement.3AWhere immediately before the voluntary arrangement took effect a moratorium for the company was in force under Part A1 and a petition for the winding up of the company, other than an excepted petition within the meaning of section A20, was presented before the beginning of the moratorium, the court must dismiss the petition.4The court shall not make an order under subsection (3)(a) or dismiss a petition under subsection (3A)—aat any time before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the first day on which each of the reports required by section 4(6) and (6A) has been made to the court, orbat any time when an application under the next section or an appeal in respect of such an application is pending, or at any time in the period within which such an appeal may be brought.5Where the company is in energy administration, the court shall not make an order or give a direction under subsection (3) unless—athe court has given the Secretary of State or the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority a reasonable opportunity of making representations to it about the proposed order or direction; andbthe order or direction is consistent with the objective of the energy administration.6In subsection (5) “in energy administration” and “objective of the energy administration” are to be construed in accordance with Schedule B1 to this Act, as applied by Part 1 of Schedule 20 to the Energy Act 2004.61Subject to this section, an application to the court may be made, by any of the persons specified below, on one or both of the following grounds, namely—athat a voluntary arrangement which has effect under section 4A unfairly prejudices the interests of a creditor, member or contributory of the company;bthat there has been some material irregularity at or in relation to the meeting of the company, or in relation to the relevant qualifying decision procedure.1AIn this section—athe “relevant qualifying decision procedure” means the qualifying decision procedure in which the company's creditors decide whether to approve a voluntary arrangement;breferences to a decision made in the relevant qualifying decision procedure include any other decision made in that qualifying decision procedure.2The persons who may apply under subsection (1) are—aa person entitled, in accordance with the rules, to vote at the meeting of the company or in the relevant qualifying decision procedure;aaa person who would have been entitled, in accordance with the rules, to vote in the relevant qualifying decision procedure if he had had notice of it;bthe nominee or any person who has replaced him under section 2(4) or 4(2); andcif the company is being wound up or is in administration, the liquidator or administrator.2ASubject to this section, where a voluntary arrangement in relation to a company in energy administration is approved at the meetings summoned under section 3, an application to the court may be made—aby the Secretary of State, orbwith the consent of the Secretary of State, by the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority,on the ground that the voluntary arrangement is not consistent with the achievement of the objective of the energy administration.3An application under this section shall not be madeaafter the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the first day on which each of the reports required by section 4(6) and (6A) has been made to the court orbin the case of a person who was not given notice of the relevant qualifying decision procedure, after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which he became aware that the relevant qualifying decision procedure had taken place,but (subject to that) an application made by a person within subsection (2)(aa) on the ground that the voluntary arrangement prejudices his interests may be made after the arrangement has ceased to have effect, unless it came to an end prematurely.4Where on such an application the court is satisfied as to either of the grounds mentioned in subsection (1) or, in the case of an application under subsection (2A), as to the ground mentioned in that subsection, it may do any of the following, namely—arevoke or suspend any decision approving the voluntary arrangement which has effect under section 4A or, in a case falling within subsection (1)(b), any decision taken by the meeting of the company, or in the relevant qualifying decision procedure, which has effect under that section;bgive a direction to any person for the summoning of a further company meeting to consider any revised proposal the person who made the original proposal may make or, in the case falling within subsection (1)(b), and relating to the company meeting, a further company meeting to reconsider the original proposal;cdirect any person—ito seek a decision from the company's creditors (using a qualifying decision procedure) as to whether they approve any revised proposal the person who made the original proposal may make, oriiin a case falling within subsection (1)(b) and relating to the relevant qualifying decision procedure, to seek a decision from the company's creditors (using a qualifying decision procedure) as to whether they approve the original proposal.5Where at any time after giving a direction under subsection (4)(b) or (c) in relation to a revised proposal the court is satisfied that the person who made the original proposal does not intend to submit a revised proposal, the court shall revoke the direction and revoke or suspend any decision approving the voluntary arrangement which has effect under section 4A.6In a case where the court, on an application under this section with respect to any meeting or relevant qualifying decision procedure —agives a direction under subsection (4)(b) or (c), orbrevokes or suspends an approval under subsection (4)(a) or (5),the court may give such supplemental directions as it thinks fit and, in particular, directions with respect to things done under the voluntary arrangement since it took effect.7Except in pursuance of the preceding provisions of this section, a a decision taken at a company meeting summoned under section 3 is not invalidated by any irregularity at or in relation to the meeting , andba decision of the company's creditors made in the relevant qualifying decision procedure is not invalidated by any irregularity in relation to the relevant qualifying decision procedure.8In this section “in energy administration” and “objective of the energy administration” are to be construed in accordance with Schedule B1 to this Act, as applied by Part 1 of Schedule 20 to the Energy Act 2004.6A1If, for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the members or creditors of a company to a proposal for a voluntary arrangement, a person who is an officer of the company—amakes any false representation, orbfraudulently does, or omits to do, anything,he commits an offence.2Subsection (1) applies even if the proposal is not approved.3For purposes of this section “officer” includes a shadow director.4A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.71This section applies where a voluntary arrangement has effect under section 4A.2The person who is for the time being carrying out in relation to the voluntary arrangement the functions conferred—aon the nominee by virtue of the approval of the voluntary arrangement by the company or its creditors (or both) pursuant to section 3,bby virtue of section 2(4) or 4(2) on a person other than the nominee,shall be known as the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement.3If any of the company’s creditors or any other person is dissatisfied by any act, omission or decision of the supervisor, he may apply to the court; and on the application the court may—aconfirm, reverse or modify any act or decision of the supervisor,bgive him directions, orcmake such other order as it thinks fit.4The supervisor—amay apply to the court for directions in relation to any particular matter arising under the voluntary arrangement, andbis included among the persons who may apply to the court for the winding up of the company or for an administration order to be made in relation to it.5The court may, whenever—ait is expedient to appoint a person to carry out the functions of the supervisor, andbit is inexpedient, difficult or impracticable for an appointment to be made without the assistance of the court,make an order appointing a person who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner ... in relation to the voluntary arrangement, either in substitution for the existing supervisor or to fill a vacancy.6The power conferred by subsection (5) is exercisable so as to increase the number of persons exercising the functions of supervisor or, where there is more than one person exercising those functions, so as to replace one or more of those persons.7A1This section applies where the approval of a voluntary arrangement in relation to a company has taken effect under section 4A.2 If it appears to the supervisor that any past or present officer of the company has committed an offence in connection with the voluntary arrangement, the supervisor must forthwith areport the matter to the appropriate authority, andbprovide the appropriate authority with such information and give the authority such access to and facilities for inspecting and taking copies of documents (being information or documents in the possession or under the control of the ... supervisor and relating to the matter in question) as the authority requires.In this subsection, “the appropriate authority” means—in the case of a company registered in England and Wales, the Secretary of State, andin the case of a company registered in Scotland, the Lord Advocate.3Where a report is made to the Secretary of State under subsection (2), he may, for the purpose of investigating the matter reported to him and such other matters relating to the affairs of the company as appear to him to require investigation, exercise any of the powers which are exercisable by inspectors appointed under section 431 or 432 of the the Companies Act 1985 to investigate a company’s affairs.4For the purpose of such an investigation any obligation imposed on a person by any provision of the the Companies Acts to produce documents or give information to, or otherwise to assist, inspectors so appointed is to be regarded as an obligation similarly to assist the Secretary of State in his investigation.5An answer given by a person to a question put to him in exercise of the powers conferred by subsection (3) may be used in evidence against him.6However, in criminal proceedings in which that person is charged with an offence to which this subsection applies—ano evidence relating to the answer may be adduced, andbno question relating to it may be asked,by or on behalf of the prosecution, unless evidence relating to it is adduced, or a question relating to it is asked, in the proceedings by or on behalf of that person.7Subsection (6) applies to any offence other than—aan offence under section 2 or 5 of the Perjury Act 1911 (false statements made on oath otherwise than in judicial proceedings or made otherwise than on oath), orban offence under section 44(1) or (2) of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (false statements made on oath or otherwise than on oath).8Where a prosecuting authority institutes criminal proceedings following any report under subsection (2), the ... supervisor, and every officer and agent of the company past and present (other than the defendant or defender), shall give the authority all assistance in connection with the prosecution which he is reasonably able to give.For this purpose—“agent” includes any banker or solicitor of the company and any person employed by the company as auditor, whether that person is or is not an officer of the company,“prosecuting authority” means the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate or the Secretary of State.9The court may, on the application of the prosecuting authority, direct any person referred to in subsection (8) to comply with that subsection if he has failed to do so.7BFor the purposes of this Part, a voluntary arrangement the approval of which has taken effect under section 4A ... comes to an end prematurely if, when it ceases to have effect, it has not been fully implemented in respect of all persons bound by the arrangement by virtue of section 5(2)(b)(i) ....Part II8Schedule B1 to this Act (which makes provision about the administration of companies) shall have effect.Part II91An application to the court for an administration order shall be by petition presented either by the company or the directors, or by a creditor or creditors (including any contingent or prospective creditor or creditors), or by the clerk of a magistrates’ court in the exercise of the power conferred by section 87A of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (enforcement of fines imposed on companies) or by all or any of those parties, together or separately.2Where a petition is presented to the court—anotice of the petition shall be given forthwith to any person who has appointed, or is or may be entitled to appoint, an administrative receiver of the company, and to such other persons as may be prescribed, andbthe petition shall not be withdrawn except with the leave of the court.3Where the court is satisfied that there is an administrative receiver of the company, the court shall dismiss the petition unless it is also satisfied either—athat the person by whom or on whose behalf the receiver was appointed has consented to the making of the order, orbthat, if an administration order were made, any security by virtue of which the receiver was appointed would—ibe void against the administrator to any extent by virtue of the provisions of Part XII of the Companies Act 1985 (registration of company charges), ibe liable to be released or discharged under sections 238 to 240 in Part VI (transactions at an undervalue and preferences), iibe avoided under section 245 in that Part (avoidance of floating charges), or iiibe challengeable under section 242 (gratuitous alienations) or 243 (unfair preferences) in that Part, or under any rule of law in Scotland.4Subject to subsection (3), on hearing a petition the court may dismiss it, or adjourn the hearing conditionally or unconditionally, or make an interim order or any other order that it thinks fit.5Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (4), an interim order under that subsection may restrict the exercise of any powers of the directors or of the company (whether by reference to the consent of the court or of a person qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company, or otherwise).101During the period beginning with the presentation of a petition for an administration order and ending with the making of such an order or the dismissal of the petition—ano resolution may be passed or order made for the winding up of the company;aano landlord or other person to whom rent is payable may exercise any right of forfeiture by peaceable re-entry in relation to premises let to the company in respect of a failure by the company to comply with any term or condition of its tenancy of such premises, except with the leave of the court and subject to such terms as the court may imposebno steps may be taken to enforce any security over the company’s property, or to repossess goods in the company’s possession under any hire-purchase agreement, except with the leave of the court and subject to such terms as the court may impose; andcno other proceedings and no execution or other legal process may be commenced or continued, and no distress may be levied, against the company or its property except with the leave of the court and subject to such terms as aforesaid.2Nothing in subsection (1) requires the leave of the court—afor the presentation of a petition for the winding up of the company,bfor the appointment of an administrative receiver of the company, orcfor the carrying out by such a receiver (whenever appointed) of any of his functions.3Where—aa petition for an administration order is presented at a time when there is an administrative receiver of the company, andbthe person by or on whose behalf the receiver was appointed has not consented to the making of the order,the period mentioned in subsection (1) is deemed not begin unless and until that person so consents.4References in this section and the next to hire-purchase agreements include conditional sale agreements, chattel leasing agreements and retention of title agreements.5In the application of this section and the next to Scotland, references to execution being commenced or continued include references to diligence being carried out or continued, and references to distress being levied shall be omitted.111On the making of an administration order—aany petition for the winding up of the company shall be dismissed, andbany administrative receiver of the company shall vacate office.2Where an administration order has been made, any receiver of part of the company’s property shall vacate office on being required to do so by the administrator.3During the period for which an administration order is in force—ano resolution may be passed or order made for the winding up of the company;bno administrative receiver of the company may be appointed;bano landlord or other person to whom rent is payable may exercise any right of forfeiture by peaceable re-entry in relation to premises let to the company in respect of a failure by the company to comply with any term or condition of its tenancy of such premises, except with the consent of the administrator or the leave of the court and subject (where the court gives leave) to such terms as the court may imposecno other steps may be taken to enforce any security over the company’s property, or to repossess goods in the company’s possession under any hire-purchase agreement, except with the consent of the administrator or the leave of the court and subject (where the court gives leave) to such terms as the court may impose; anddno other proceedings and no execution or other legal process may be commenced or continued, and no distress may be levied, against the company or its property except with the consent of the administrator or the leave of the court and subject (where the court gives leave) to such terms as aforesaid.4Where at any time an administrative receiver of the company has vacated office under subsection (1)(b), or a receiver of part of the company’s property has vacated office under subsection (2)—ahis remuneration and any expenses properly incurred by him, andbany indemnity to which he is entitled out of the assets of the company.shall be charged on and (subject to subsection (3) above) paid out of any property of the company which was in his custody or under his control at that time in priority to any security held by the person by or on whose behalf he was appointed.5Neither an administrative receiver who vacates office under subsection (1)(b) nor a receiver who vacates office under subsection (2) is required on or after so vacating office to take any steps for the purpose of complying with any duty imposed on him by section 40 or 59 of this Act (duty to pay preferential creditors).121Every invoice, order for goods or business letter which, at a time when an administration order is in force in relation to a company, is issued by or on behalf of the company or the administrator, being a document on or in which the company’s name appears, shall also contain the administrator’s name and a statement that the affairs, business and property of the company are being managed by the administrator.2If default is made in complying with this section, the company and any of the following persons who without reasonable excuse authorises or permits the default, namely, the administrator and any officer of the company, is liable to a fine.131The administrator of a company shall be appointed either by the administration order or by an order under the next subsection.2If a vacancy occurs by death, resignation or otherwise in the office of the administrator, the court may by order fill the vacancy.3An application for an order under subsection (2) may be made—aby any continuing administrator of the company; orbwhere there is no such administrator, by a creditors’ committee established under section 26 below; orcwhere there is no such administrator and no such committee, by the company or the directors or by any creditor or creditors of the company.141The administrator of a company—amay do all such things as may be necessary for the management of the affairs, business and property of the company, andbwithout prejudice to the generality of paragraph (a), has the powers specified in Schedule 1 to this Act;and in the application of that Schedule to the administrator of a company the words “he” and “him” refer to the administrator.2The administrator also has power—ato remove any director of the company and to appoint any person to be a director of it, whether to fill a vacancy or otherwise, andbto call any meeting of the members or creditors of the company.3The administrator may apply to the court for directions in relation to any particular matter arising in connection with the carrying out of his functions.4Any power conferred on the company or its officers, whether by this Act or the Companies Act or by the memorandum or articles of association, which could be exercised in such a way as to interfere with the exercise by the administrator of his powers is not exercisable except with the consent of the administrator, which may be given either generally or in relation to particular cases.5In exercising his powers the administrator is deemed to act as the company’s agent.6A person dealing with the administrator in good faith and for value is not concerned to inquire whether the administrator is acting within his powers.151The administrator of a company may dispose of or otherwise exercise his powers in relation to any property of the company which is subject to a security to which this subsection applies as if the property were not subject to the security.2Where, on an application by the administrator, the court is satisifed that the disposal (with or without other assets) of—aany property of the company subject to a security to which this subsection applies, orbany goods in the possession of the company under a hire-purchase agreement,would be likely to promote the purpose or one or more of the purposes specified in the administration order, the court may by order authorise the administrator to dispose of the property as if it were not subject to the security or to dispose of the goods as if all rights of the owner under the hire-purchase agreement were vested in the company.3Subsection (1) applies to any security which, as created, was a floating charge; and subsection (2) applies to any other security.4Where property is disposed of under subsection (1), the holder of the security has the same priority in respect of any property of the company directly or indirectly representing the property disposed of as he would have had in respect of the property subject to the security.5It shall be a condition of an order under subsection (2) that—athe net proceeds of the disposal, andbwhere those proceeds are less than such amount as may be determined by the court to be the net amount which would be realised on a sale of the property or goods in the open market by a willing vendor, such sums as may be required to make good the deficiency,shall be applied towards discharging the sums secured by the security or payable under the hire-purchase agreement.6Where a condition imposed in pursuance of subsection (5) relates to two or more securities, that condition requires the net proceeds of the disposal and, where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the sums mentioned in that paragraph to be applied towards discharging the sums secured by those securities in the order of their priorities.7An office copy of an order under subsection (2) shall, within 14 days after the making of the order, be sent by the administrator to the registrar of companies.8If the administrator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (7), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.9References in this section to hire-purchase agreements include conditional sale agreements, chattel leasing agreements and retention of title agreements.161Where property is disposed of under section 15 in its application to Scotland, the administrator shall grant to the disponee an appropriate document of transfer or conveyance of the property, and—athat document, orbwhere any recording, intimation or registration of the document is a legal requirement for completion of title to the property, that recording, intimation or registration,has the effect of disencumbering the property of or, as the case may be, freeing the property from the security.2Where goods in the possession of the company under a hire-purchase agreement, conditional sale agreement, chattel leasing agreement or retention of title agreement are disposed of under section 15 in its application to Scotland, the disposal has the effect of extinguishing, as against the disponee, all rights of the owner of the goods under the agreement.171The administrator of a company shall, on his appointment, take into his custody or under his control all the property to which the company is or appears to be entitled.2The administrator shall manage the affairs, business and property of the company—aat any time before proposals have been approved (with or without modifications) under section 24 below, in accordance with any directions given by the court, andbat any time after proposals have been so approved, in accordance with those proposals as from time to time revised, whether by him or a predecessor of his.3The administrator shall summon a meeting of the company’s creditors if—ahe is requested, in accordance with the rules, to do so by one-tenth, in value, of the company’s creditors, orbhe is directed to do so by the court.181The administrator of a company may at any time apply to the court for the administration order to be discharged, or to be varied so as to specify an additional purpose.2The administrator shall make an application under this section if—ait appears to him that the purpose or each of the purposes specified in the order either has been achieved or is incapable of achievement, orbhe is required to do so by a meeting of the company’s creditors summoned for the purpose in accordance with the rules.3On the hearing of an application under this section, the court may by order discharge or vary the administration order and make such consequential provision as it thinks fit, or adjourn the hearing conditionally or unconditionally, or make an interim order or any other order it thinks fit.4Where the administration order is discharged or varied the administrator shall, within 14 days after the making of the order effecting the discharge or variation, send an office copy of that order to the registrar of companies.5If the administrator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (4), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.191The administrator of a company may at any time be removed from office by order of the court and may, in the prescribed circumstances, resign his office by giving notice of his resignation to the court.2The administrator shall vacate office if—ahe ceases to be qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company, orbthe administration order is discharged.3Where at any time a person ceases to be administrator, the following subsections apply.4His remuneration and any expenses properly incurred by him shall be charged on and paid out of any property of the company which is in his custody or under his control at that time in priority to any security to which section 15(1) then applies.5Any sums payable in respect of debts or liabilities incurred, while he was administrator, under contracts entered into . . . by him or a predecessor of his in the carrying out of his or the predecessor’s functions shall be charged on and paid out of any such property as is mentioned in subsection (4) in priority to any charge arising under that subsection.6 Any sums payable in respect of liabilities incurred, while he was administrator, under contracts of employment adopted by him or a predecessor of his in the carrying out of his or the predecessor’s functions shall, to the extent that the liabilities are qualifying liabilities, be charged on and paid out of any such property as is mentioned in subsection (4) and enjoy the same priority as any sums to which subsection (5) applies.For this purpose, the administrator is not to be taken to have adopted a contract of employment by reason of anything done or omitted to be done within 14 days after his appointment.7For the purposes of subsection (6), a liability under a contract of employment is a qualifying liability if—ait is a liability to pay a sum by way of wages or salary or contribution to an occupational pension scheme, andbit is in respect of services rendered wholly or partly after the adoption of the contract.8There shall be disregarded for the purposes of subsection (6) so much of any qualifying liability as represents payment in respect of services rendered before the adoption of the contract.9For the purposes of subsections (7) and (8)—awages or salary payable in respect of a period of holiday or absence from work through sickness or other good cause are deemed to be wages or (as the case may be) salary in respect of services rendered in that period, andba sum payable in lieu of holiday is deemed to be wages or (as the case may be) salary in respect of services rendered in the period by reference to which the holiday entitlement arose.10In subsection (9)(a), the reference to wages or salary payable in respect of a period of holiday includes any sums which, if they had been paid, would have been treated for the purposes of the enactments relating to social security as earnings in respect of that period.201A person who has ceased to be the administrator of a company has his release with effect from the following time, that is to say—ain the case of a person who has died, the time at which notice is given to the court in accordance with the rules that he has ceased to hold office;bin any other case, such time as the court may determine.2Where a person has his release under this section, he is, with effect from the time specified above, discharged from all liability both in respect of acts or omissions of his in the administration and otherwise in relation to his conduct as administrator.3However, nothing in this section prevents the exercise, in relation to a person who has had his release as above, of the court’s powers under section 212 in Chapter X of Part IV (summary remedy against delinquent directors, liquidators, etc.).211Where an administration order has been made, the administrator shall—aforthwith send to the company and publish in the prescribed manner a notice of the order, andbwithin 28 days after the making of the order, unless the court otherwise directs, send such a notice to all creditors of the company (so far as he is aware of their addresses).2Where an administration order has been made, the administrator shall also, within 14 days after the making of the order, send an office copy of the order to the registrar of companies and to such other persons as may be prescribed.3If the administrator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.221Where an administration order has been made, the administrator shall forthwith require some or all of the persons mentioned below to make out and submit to him a statement in the prescribed form as to the affairs of the company.2The statement shall be verified by affidavit by the persons required to submit it and shall show—aparticulars of the company’s assets, debts and liabilities;bthe names and addresses of its creditors;cthe securities held by them respectively;dthe dates when the securities were respectively given; andesuch further or other information as may be prescribed.3The persons referred to in subsection (1) are—athose who are or have been officers of the company;bthose who have taken part in the company’s formation at any time within one year before the date of the administration order;cthose who are in the company’s employment or have been in its employment within that year, and are in the administrator’s opinion capable of giving the information required;dthose who are or have been within that year officers of or in the employment of a company which is, or within that year was, an officer of the company.In this subsection “employment” includes employment under a contract for services.4Where any persons are required under this section to submit a statement of affairs to the administrator, they shall do so (subject to the next subsection) before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the prescribed notice of the requirement is given to them by the administrator.5The administrator, if he thinks fit, may—aat any time release a person from an obligation imposed on him under subsection (1) or (2), orbeither when giving notice under subsection (4) or subsequently, extend the period so mentioned;and where the administrator has refused to exercise a power conferred by this subsection, the court, if it thinks fit, may exercise it.6If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed under this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.231Where an administration order has been made, the administrator shall, within 3 months (or such longer period as the court may allow) after the making of the order—asend to the registrar of companies and (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all creditors a statement of his proposals for achieving the purpose or purposes specified in the order, andblay a copy of the statement before a meeting of the company’s creditors summoned for the purpose on not less than 14 days’ notice.2The administrator shall also, within 3 months (or such longer period as the court may allow) after the making of the order, either—asend a copy of the statement (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all members of the company, orbpublish in the prescribed manner a notice stating an address to which members of the company should write for copies of the statement to be sent to them free of charge.3If the administrator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.241A meeting of creditors summoned under section 23 shall decide whether to approve the administrator’s proposals.2The meeting may approve the proposals with modifications, but shall not do so unless the administrator consents to each modification.3Subject as above, the meeting shall be conducted in accordance with the rules.4After the conclusion of the meeting in accordance with the rules, the administrator shall report the result of the meeting to the court and shall give notice of that result to the registrar of companies and to such persons as may be prescribed.5If a report is given to the court under subsection (4) that the meeting has declined to approve the administrator’s proposals (with or without modifications), the court may by order discharge the administration order and make such consequential provision as it thinks fit, or adjourn the hearing conditionally or unconditionally, or make an interim order or any other order that it thinks fit.6Where the administration order is discharged, the administrator shall, within 14 days after the making of the order effecting the discharge, send an office copy of that order to the registrar of companies.7If the administrator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (6), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.251This section applies where—aproposals have been approved (with or without modifications) under section 24, andbthe administrator proposes to make revisions of those proposals which appear to him substantial.2The administrator shall—asend to all creditors of the company (so far as he is aware of their addresses) a statement in the prescribed form of his proposed revisions, andblay a copy of the statement before a meeting of the company’s creditors summoned for the purpose on not less than 14 days’ notice;and he shall not make the proposed revisions unless they are approved by the meeting.3The administrator shall also either—asend a copy of the statement (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all members of the company, orbpublish in the prescribed manner a notice stating an address to which members of the company should write for copies of the statement to be sent to them free of charge.4The meeting of creditors may approve the proposed revisions with modifications, but shall not do so unless the administrator consents to each modification.5Subject as above, the meeting shall be conducted in accordance with the rules.6After the conclusion of the meeting in accordance with the rules, the administrator shall give notice of the result of the meeting to the registrar of companies and to such persons as may be prescribed.261Where a meeting of creditors summoned under section 23 has approved the administrator’s proposals (with or without modifications), the meeting may, if it thinks fit, establish a committee (“the creditors’ committee”) to exercise the functions conferred on it by or under this Act.2If such a committee is established, the committee may, on giving not less than 7 days’ notice, require the administrator to attend before it at any reasonable time and furnish it with such information relating to the carrying out of his functions as it may reasonably require.271At any time when an administration order is in force, a creditor or member of the company may apply to the court by petition for an order under this section on the ground—athat the company’s affairs, business and property are being or have been managed by the administrator in a manner which is unfairly prejudicial to the interests of its creditors or members generally, or of some part of its creditors or members (including at least himself), orbthat any actual or proposed act or omission of the administrator is or would be so prejudicial.2On an application for an order under this section the court may, subject as follows, make such order as it thinks fit for giving relief in respect of the matters complained of, or adjourn the hearing conditionally or unconditionally, or make an interim order or any other order that it thinks fit.3An order under this section shall not prejudice or prevent—athe implementation of a voluntary arrangement approved under . . . Part I, or any compromise or arrangement sanctioned under section 425 of the Companies Act; orbwhere the application for the order was made more than 28 days after the approval of any proposals or revised proposals under section 24 or 25, the implementation of those proposals or revised proposals4Subject as above, an order under this section may in particular—aregulate the future management by the administrator of the company’s affairs, business and property;brequire the administrator to refrain from doing or continuing an act complained of by the petitioner, or to do an act which the petitioner has complained he has omitted to do.crequire the summoning of a meeting of creditors or members for the purpose of considering such matters as the court may direct;ddischarge the administration order and make such consequential provision as the court thinks fit.5Nothing in section 15 or 16 is to be taken as prejudicing applications to the court under this section.6Where the administration order is discharged, the administrator shall, within 14 days after the making of the order effecting the discharge, send an office copy of that order to the registrar of companies; and if without reasonable excuse he fails to comply with this subsection, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine. Part III Chapter I281In this Chapter “company” means a company registered under the Companies Act 2006 in England and Wales or Scotland.2This Chapter does not apply to receivers appointed under Chapter 2 of this Part (Scotland).291It is hereby declared that, except where the context otherwise requires—aany reference in . . . this Act to a receiver or manager of the property of a company, or to a receiver of it, includes a receiver or manager, or (as the case may be) a receiver of part only of that property and a receiver only of the income arising from the property or from part of it; andbany reference in . . . this Act to the appointment of a receiver or manager under powers contained in an instrument includes an appointment made under powers which, by virtue of any enactment, are implied in and have effect as if contained in an instrument.2In this Chapter “administrative receiver” means—aa receiver or manager of the whole (or substantially the whole) of a company’s property appointed by or on behalf of the holders of any debentures of the company secured by a charge which, as created, was a floating charge, or by such a charge and one or more other securities; orba person who would be such a receiver or manager but for the appointment of some other person as the receiver of part of the company’s property.30A body corporate is not qualified for appointment as receiver of the property of a company, and any body corporate which acts as such a receiver is liable to a fine.311A person commits an offence if he acts as receiver or manager of the property of a company on behalf of debenture holders while—ahe is an undischarged bankrupt,aaa moratorium period under a debt relief order applies in relation to him, orba bankruptcy restrictions order or a debt relief restrictions order is in force in respect of him.2A person guilty of an offence under subsection (1) shall be liable to imprisonment, a fine or both.3This section does not apply to a receiver or manager acting under an appointment made by the court.32Where application is made to the court to appoint a receiver on behalf of the debenture holders or other creditors of a company which is being wound up by the court, the official receiver may be appointed.331The appointment of a person as a receiver or manager of a company’s property under powers contained in an instrument—ais of no effect unless it is accepted by that person before the end of the business day next following that on which the instrument of appointment is received by him or on his behalf, andbsubject to this, is deemed to be made at the time at which the instrument of appointment is so received.2This section applies to the appointment of two or more persons as joint receivers or managers of a company’s property under powers contained in an instrument, subject to such modifications as may be prescribed by the rules.34Where the appointment of a person as the receiver or manager of a company’s property under powers contained in an instrument is discovered to be invalid (whether by virtue of the invalidity of the instrument or otherwise), the court may order the person by whom or on whose behalf the appointment was made to indemnify the person appointed against any liability which arises solely by reason of the invalidity of the appointment.351A receiver or manager of the property of a company appointed under powers contained in an instrument, or the persons by whom or on whose behalf a receiver or manager has been so appointed, may apply to the court for directions in relation to any particular matter arising in connection with the performance of the functions of the receiver or manager.2On such an application, the court may give such directions, or may make such order declaring the rights of persons before the court or otherwise, as it thinks just.361The court may, on an application made by the liquidator of a company, by order fix the amount to be paid by way of remuneration to a person who, under powers contained in an instrument, has been appointed receiver or manager of the company’s property.2The court’s power under subsection (1), where no previous order has been made with respect thereto under the subsection—aextends to fixing the remuneration for any period before the making of the order or the application for it,bis exercisable notwithstanding that the receiver or manager has died or ceased to act before the making of the order or the application, andcwhere the receiver or manager has been paid or has retained for his remuneration for any period before the making of the order any amount in excess of that so fixed for that period, extends to requiring him or his personal representatives to account for the excess or such part of it as may be specified in the order.But the power conferred by pararaph (c) shall not be exercised as respects any period before the making of the application for the order under this section, unless in the court’s opinion there are special circumstances making it proper for the power to be exercised.3The court may from time to time on an application made either by the liquidator or by the receiver or manager, vary or amend an order made under subsection (1).371A receiver or manager appointed under powers contained in an instrument (other than an administrative receiver) is, to the same extent as if he had been appointed by order of the court—apersonally liable on any contract entered into by him in the performance of his functions (except in so far as the contract otherwise provides) and on any contract of employment adopted by him in the performance of those functions, andbentitled in respect of that liability to indemnity out of the assets.2For the purposes of subsection (1)(a), the receiver or manager is not to be taken to have adopted a contract of employment by reason of anything done or omitted to be done with 14 days after his appointment.3Subsection (1) does not limit any right to indemnity which the receiver or manager would have apart from it, nor limit his liability on contracts entered into without authority, nor confer any right to indemnity in respect of that liability.4Where at any time the receiver or manager so appointed vacates office—ahis remuneration and any expenses properly incurred by him, andbany indemnity to which he is entitled out of the assets of the company,shall be charged on and paid out of any property of the company which is in his custody or under his control at that time in priority to any charge or other security held by the person by or on whose behalf he was appointed.381Except in the case of an adminstrative receiver, every receiver or manager of a company’s property who has been appointed under powers contained in an instrument shall deliver to the registrar of companies for registration the requisite accounts of his receipts and payments.2The accounts shall be delivered within one month (or such longer period as the registrar may allow) after the expiration of 12 months from the date of his appointment and of every subsequent period of 6 months, and also within one month after he ceases to act as receiver or manager.3The requisite accounts shall be an abstract in the prescribed form showing—areceipts and payments during the relevant period of 12 or 6 months, orbwhere the receiver or manager ceases to act, receipts and payments during the period from the end of the period of 12 or 6 months to which the last preceding abstract related (or, if no preceding abstract has been delivered under this section, from the date of his appointment) up to the date of his so ceasing, and the aggregate amount of receipts and payments during all preceding periods since his appointment.4In this section “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by statutory instrument by the Secretary of State.5A receiver or manager who makes default in complying with this section is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.391Where a receiver or manager of the property of a company has been appointed—aevery invoice, order for goods or services, business letter or order form (whether in hard copy, electronic or any other form) issued by or on behalf of the company or the receiver or manager or the liquidator of the company; andball the company's websites,must contain a statement that a receiver or manager has been appointed.2If default is made in complying with this section, the company and any of the following persons, who knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits the default, namely, any officer of the company, any liquidator of the company and any receiver or manager, is liable to a fine.401The following applies in the case of a company, where a receiver is appointed on behalf of the holders of any debentures of the company secured by a charge which, as created, was a floating charge.2If the company is not at the time in course of being wound up, its preferential debts (within the meaning given to that expression by section 386 in Part XII) shall be paid out of the assets coming to the hands of the receiver in priority to any claims for principal or interest in respect of the debentures.3Payments made under this section shall be recouped, as far as may be, out of the assets of the company available for payment of general creditors.411If a receiver or manager of a company’s property—ahaving made default in filing, delivering or making any return, account or other document, or in giving any notice, which a receiver or manager is by law required to file, deliver, make or give, fails to make good the default within 14 days after the service on him of a notice requiring him to do so, orbhaving been appointed under powers contained in an instrument, has, after being required at any time by the liquidator of the company to do so, failed to render proper accounts of his receipts and payments and to vouch them and pay over to the liquidator the amount properly payable to him,the court may, on an application made for the purpose, make an order directing the receiver or manager (as the case may be) to make good the default within such time as may be specified in the order.2In the case of the default mentioned in subsection (1)(a), application to the court may be made by any member or creditor of the company or by the registrar of companies; and in the case of the default mentioned in subsection (1)(b), the application shall be made by the liquidator.In either case the court’s order may provide that all costs of and incidental to the application shall be borne by the receiver or manager, as the case may be.3Nothing in this section prejudices the operation of any enactment imposing penalties on receivers in respect of any such default as is mentioned in subsection (1).421The powers conferred on the administrative receiver of a company by the debentures by virtue of which he was appointed are deemed to include (except in so far as they are inconsistent with any of the provisions of those debentures) the powers specified in Schedule 1 to this Act.2In the application of Schedule 1 to the administrative receiver of a company—athe words “he” and “him” refer to the administrative receiver, andbreferences to the property of the company are to the property of which he is or, but for the appointment of some other person as the receiver of part of the company’s property, would be the receiver or manager.3A person dealing with the administrative receiver in good faith and for value is not concerned to inquire whether the receiver is acting within his powers.431Where, on an application by the administrative receiver, the court is satisfied that the disposal (with or without other assets) of any relevant property which is subject to a security would be likely to promote a more advantageous realisation of the company’s assets than would otherwise be effected, the court may by order authorise the administrative receiver to dispose of the property as if it were not subject to the security.2Subsection (1) does not apply in the case of any security held by the person by or on whose behalf the administrative receiver was appointed, or of any security to which a security so held has priority.3It shall be a condition of an order under this section that—athe net proceeds of the disposal, andbwhere those proceeds are less than such amount as may be determined by the court to be the net amount which would be realised on a sale of the property in the open market by a willing vendor, such sums as may be required to make good the deficiency,shall be applied towards discharging the sums secured by the security.4Where a condition imposed in pursuance of subsection (3) relates to two or more securities, that condition shall require the net proceeds of the disposal and, where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the sums mentioned in that paragraph to be applied towards discharging the sums secured by those securities in the order of their priorities.5A copy of an order under this section shall, within 14 days of the making of the order, be sent by the administrative receiver to the registrar of companies.6If the administrative receiver without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (5), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.7In this section “relevant property”, in relation to the administrative receiver, means the property of which he is or, but for the appointment of some other person as the receiver of part of the company’s property, would be the receiver or manager.441The administrative receiver of a company—ais deemed to be the company’s agent, unless and until the company goes into liquidation;bis personally liable on any contract entered into by him in the carrying out of his functions (except in so far as the contract otherwise provides) and , to the extent of any qualifying liability,on any contract of employment adopted by him in the carrying out of those functions; andcis entitled in respect of that liability to an indemnity out of the assets of the company.2For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) the administrative receiver is not to be taken to have adopted a contract of employment by reason of anything done or omitted to be done within 14 days after his appointment.2AFor the purposes of subsection (1)(b), a liability under a contract of employment is a qualifying liability if—ait is a liability to pay a sum by way of wages or salary or contribution to an occupational pension scheme,bit is incurred while the administrative receiver is in office, andcit is in respect of services rendered wholly or partly after the adoption of the contract.2BWhere a sum payable in respect of a liability which is a qualifying liability for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) is payable in respect of services rendered partly before and partly after the adoption of the contract, liability under subsection (1)(b) shall only extend to so much of the sum as is payable in respect of services rendered after the adoption of the contract.2CFor the purposes of subsections (2A) and (2B)—awages or salary payable in respect of a period of holiday or absence from work through sickness or other good cause are deemed to be wages or (as the case may be) salary in respect of services rendered in that period, andba sum payable in lieu of holiday is deemed to be wages or (as the case may be) salary in respect of services rendered in the period by reference to which the holiday entitlement arose.2D. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3This section does not limit any right to indemnity which the administrative receiver would have apart from it, nor limit his liability on contracts entered into or adopted without authority, nor confer any right to indemnity in respect of that liability.451An administrative receiver of a company may at any time be removed from office by order of the court (but not otherwise) and may resign his office by giving notice of his resignation in the prescribed manner to such persons as may be prescribed.2An administrative receiver shall vacate office if he ceases to be qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company.3Where at any time an administrative receiver vacates office—ahis remuneration and any expenses properly incurred by him, andbany indemnity to which he is entitled out of the assets of the company,shall be charged on and paid out of any property of the company which is in his custody or under his control at that time in priority to any security held by the person by or on whose behalf he was appointed.4Where an administrative receiver vacates office otherwise than by death, he shall, within 14 days after his vacation of office, send a notice to that effect to the registrar of companies.5If an administrative receiver without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (4), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.461Where an administrative receiver is appointed, he shall—aforthwith send to the company and publish in the prescribed manner a notice of his appointment, andbwithin 28 days after his appointment, unless the court otherwise directs, send such a notice to all the creditors of the company (so far as he is aware of their addresses).2This section and the next do not apply in relation to the appointment of an administrative receiver to act—awith an existing administrative receiver, orbin place of an administrative receiver dying or ceasing to act,except that, where they apply to an administrative receiver who dies or ceases to act before they have been fully complied with, the references in this section and the next to the administrative receiver include (subject to the next subsection) his successor and any continuing administrative receiver.3If the company is being wound up, this section and the next apply notwithstanding that the administrative receiver and the liquidator are the same person, but with any necessary modifications arising from that fact.4If the administrative receiver without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.471Where an administrative receiver is appointed, he shall forthwith require some or all of the persons mentioned below to make out and submit to him a statement in the prescribed form as to the affairs of the company.2A statement submitted under this section shall be verified by a statement of truth by the persons required to submit it and shall show—aparticulars of the company’s assets, debts and liabilities;bthe names and addresses of its creditors;cthe securities held by them respectively;dthe dates when the securities were respectively given; andesuch further or other information as may be prescribed.3The persons referred to in subsection (1) are—athose who are or have been officers of the company;bthose who have taken part in the company’s formation at any time within one year before the date of the appointment of the administrative receiver;cthose who are in the company’s employment, or have been in its employment within that year, and are in the administrative receiver’s opinion capable of giving the information required;dthose who are or have been within that year officers of or in the employment of a company which is, or within that year was, an officer of the company.In this subsection “employment” includes employment under a contract for services.4Where any persons are required under this section to submit a statement of affairs to the administrative receiver, they shall do so (subject to the next subsection) before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the prescribed notice of the requirement is given to them by the administrative receiver.5The administrative receiver, if he thinks fit, may—aat any time release a person from an obligation imposed on him under subsection (1) or (2), orbeither when giving notice under subsection (4) or subsequently, extend the period so mentioned;and where the administrative receiver has refused to exercise a power conferred by this subsection, the court, if it thinks fit, may exercise it.6If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed under this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.481Where an administrative receiver is appointed, he shall, within 3 months (or such longer period as the court may allow) after his appointment, send to the registrar of companies, to any trustees for secured creditors of the company and (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all such creditors , other than opted-out creditors, a report as to the following matters, namely—athe events leading up to his appointment, so far as he is aware of them;bthe disposal or proposed disposal by him of any property of the company and the carrying on or proposed carrying on by him of any business of the company;cthe amounts of principal and interest payable to the debenture holders by whom or on whose behalf he was appointed and the amounts payable to preferential creditors; anddthe amount (if any) likely to be available for the payment of other creditors.2The administrative receiver shall also, within 3 months (or such longer period as the court may allow) after his appointment, either—asend a copy of the report (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all unsecured creditors of the company , other than opted-out creditors, orbpublish in the prescribed manner a notice stating an address to which unsecured creditors of the company should write for copies of the report to be sent to them free of charge,. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4Where the company has gone or goes into liquidation, the administrative receiver—ashall, within 7 days after his compliance with subsection (1) or, if later, the nomination or appointment of the liquidator, send a copy of the report to the liquidator, andbwhere he does so within the time limited for compliance with subsection (2), is not required to comply with that subsection.5A report under this section shall include a summary of the statement of affairs made out and submitted to the administrative receiver under section 47 and of his comments (if any) upon it.6Nothing in this section is to be taken as requiring any such report to include any information the disclosure of which would seriously prejudice the carrying out by the administrative receiver of his functions.7Section 46(2) applies for the purposes of this section also.8If the administrative receiver without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.491Where an administrative receiver has sent or published a report as mentioned in section 48(2) the company's unsecured creditors may, in accordance with the rules, establish a committee (“the creditors’ committee”) to exercise the functions conferred on it by or under this Act.2If such a committee is established, the committee may, on giving not less than 7 days’ notice, require the administrative receiver to attend before it at any reasonable time and furnish it with such information relating to the carrying out by him of his functions as it may reasonably require.Chapter II50This Chapter extends to Scotland only.511It is competent under the law of Scotland for the holder of a floating charge over all or any part of the property (including uncalled capital), which may from time to time be comprised in the property and undertaking of an incorporated company (whether a company registered under the Companies Act 2006 or not) awhich the Court of Session has jurisdiction to wind up; orbwhere paragraph (a) does not apply, in respect of which a court of a member state ... has under the EU Regulation jurisdiction to open insolvency proceedings,to appoint a receiver of such part of the property of the company as is subject to the charge. 2It is competent under the law of Scotland for the court, on the application of the holder of such a floating charge, to appoint a receiver of such part of the property of the company as is subject to the charge.2ZA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2ASubsections (1) and (2) are subject to section 72A.3The following are disqualified from being appointed as receiver—aa body corporate;ban undischarged bankrupt; andbaa person subject to a bankruptcy restrictions order;ca firm according to the law of Scotland.4A body corporate or a firm according to the law of Scotland which acts as a receiver is liable to a fine.5An undischarged bankrupt or a person subject to a bankruptcy restrictions order who so acts is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.6In this section, “receiver” includes joint receivers ; and“bankruptcy restrictions order” means—a bankruptcy restrictions order made under section 155 of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016;...a bankruptcy restrictions order made under paragraph 1 of Schedule 4A to this Act; ora bankruptcy restrictions undertaking entered into under paragraph 7 of that Schedule.“the EU Regulation” is Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council on insolvency proceedings as that Regulation has effect in the law of the European Union;“court” is to be construed in accordance with Article 2(6) of the EU Regulation;“insolvency proceedings” is to be construed in accordance with Article 2(4) of the EU Regulation.521A receiver may be appointed under section 51(1) by the holder of the floating charge on the occurrence of any event which, by the provisions of the instrument creating the charge, entitles the holder of the charge to make that appointment and, in so far as not otherwise provided for by the instrument, on the occurrence of any of the following events, namely—athe expiry of a period of 21 days after the making of a demand for payment of the whole or any part of the principal sum secured by the charge, without payment having been made;bthe expiry of a period of 2 months during the whole of which interest due and payable under the charge has been in arrears;cthe making of an order or the passing of a resolution to wind up the company;dthe appointment of a receiver by virtue of any other floating charge created by the company.2A receiver may be appointed by the court under section 51(2) on the occurrence of any event which, by the provisions of the instrument creating the floating charge, entitles the holder of the charge to make that appointment and, in so far as not otherwise provided for by the instrument, on the occurrence of any of the following events, namely—awhere the court, on the application of the holder of the charge, pronounces itself satisfied that the position of the holder of the charge is likely to be prejudiced if no such appointment is made;bany of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (1).531The appointment of a receiver by the holder of the floating charge under section 51(1) shall be by means of an instrument subscribed in accordance with the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995 (“the instrument of appointment”), a copy (certified in the prescribed manner to be a correct copy) whereof shall be delivered by or on behalf of the person making the appointment to the registrar of companies for registration within 7 days of its execution and shall be accompanied by a notice in the prescribed form.2If any person without reasonable excuse makes default in complying with the requirements of subsection (1), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4If the receiver is to be appointed by the holders of a series of secured debentures, the instrument of appointment may be executed on behalf of the holders of the floating charge by any person authorised by resolution of the debenture-holders to execute the instrument.5On receipt of the certified copy of the instrument of appointment in accordance with subsection (1), the registrar shall, on payment of the prescribed fee, enter the particulars of the appointment in the register.6The appointment of a person as a receiver by an instrument of appointment in accordance with subsection (1)—ais of no effect unless it is accepted by that person before the end of the business day next following that on which the instrument of appointment is received by him or on his behalf, andbsubject to paragraph (a), is deemed to be made on the day on and at the time at which the instrument of appointment is so received, as evidenced by a written docquet by that person or on his behalf;and this subsection applies to the appointment of joint receivers subject to such modifications as may be prescribed.7On the appointment of a receiver under this section, the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed attaches to the property then subject to the charge; and such attachment has effect as if the charge was a fixed security over the property to which it has attached.541Application for the appointment of a receiver by the court under section 51(2) shall be by petition to the court, which shall be served on the company.2On such an application, the court shall, if it thinks fit, issue an interlocutor making the appointment of the receiver.3A copy (certified by the clerk of the court to be a correct copy) of the court’s interlocutor making the appointment shall be delivered by or on behalf of the petitioner to the registrar of companies for registration, accompanied by a notice in the prescribed form, within 7 days of the date of the interlocutor or much longer period as the court may allow.If any person without reasonable excuse makes default in complying with the requirements of this subsection, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.4On receipt of the certified copy interlocutor in accordance with subsection (3), the registrar shall, on payment of the prescribed fee, enter the particulars of the appointment in the register.5The receiver is to be regarded as having been appointed on the date of his being appointed by the court.6On the appointment of a receiver under this section, the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed attaches to the property then subject to the charge; and such attachment has effect as if the charge were a fixed security over the property to which it has attached.7In making rules of court for the purposes of this section, the Court of Session shall have regard to the need for special provision for cases which appear to the court to require to be dealt with as a matter of urgency.551Subject to the next subsection, a receiver has in relation to such part of the property of the company as is attached by the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed, the powers, if any, given to him by the instrument creating that charge.2In addition, the receiver has under this Chapter the powers as respects that property (in so far as these are not inconsistent with any provision contained in that instrument) which are specified in Schedule 2 to this Act.3Subsections (1) and (2) apply—asubject to the rights of any person who has effectually executed diligence on all or any part of the property of the company prior to the appointment of the receiver, andbsubject to the rights of any person who holds over all or any part of the property of the company a fixed security or floating charge having priority, over, or ranking pari passu with, the floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed.4A person dealing with a receiver in good faith and for value is not concerned to enquire whether the receiver is acting within his powers.561Where there are two or more floating charges subsisting over all or any part of the property of the company, a receiver may be appointed under this Chapter by virtue of each such charge; but a receiver appointed by, or on the application of, the holder of a floating charge having priority of ranking over any other floating charge by virtue of which a receiver has been appointed has the powers given to a receiver by section 55 and Schedule 2 to the exclusion of any other receiver.2Where two or more floating charges rank with one another equally, and two or more receivers have been appointed by virtue of such charges, the receivers so appointed are deemed to have been appointed as joint receivers.3Receivers appointed, or deemed to have been appointed, as joint receivers shall act jointly unless the instrument of appointment or respective instruments of appointment otherwise provide.4Subject to subsection (5) below, the powers of a receiver appointed by, or on the application of, the holder of a floating charge are suspended by, and as from the date of, the appointment of a receiver by, or on the application of, the holder of a floating charge having priority of ranking over that charge to such extent as may be necessary to enable the receiver second mentioned to exercise his powers under section 55 and Schedule 2; and any powers so suspended take effect again when the floating charge having priority of ranking ceases to attach to the property then subject to the charge, whether such cessation is by virtue of section 62(6) or otherwise.5The suspension of the powers of a receiver under subsection (4) does not have the effect of requiring him to release any part of the property (including any letters or documents) of the company from his control until he receives from the receiver superseding him a valid indemnity (subject to the limit of the value of such part of the property of the company as is subject to the charge by virtue of which he was appointed) in respect of any expenses, charges and liabilities he may have incurred in the performance of his functions as receiver.6The suspension of the powers of a receiver under subsection (4) does not cause the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed to cease to attach to the property to which it attached by virtue of section 53(7) or 54(6).7Nothing in this section prevents the same receiver being appointed by virtue of two or more floating charges.571A receiver is deemed to be the agent of the company in relation to such property of the company as is attached by the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed.1AWithout prejudice to subsection (1), a receiver is deemed to be the agent of the company in relation to any contract of employment adopted by him in the carrying out of his functions.2A receiver (including a receiver whose powers are subsequently suspended under section 56) is personally liable on any contract entered into by him in the performance of his functions, except in so far as the contract otherwise provides, and , to the extent of any qualifying liability,on any contract of employment adopted by him in the carrying out of those functions.2AFor the purposes of subsection (2), a liability under a contract of employment is a qualifying liability if—ait is a liability to pay a sum by way of wages or salary or contribution to an occupational pension scheme,bit is incurred while the receiver is in office, andcit is in respect of services rendered wholly or partly after the adoption of the contract.2BWhere a sum payable in respect of a liability which is a qualifying liability for the purposes of subsection (2) is payable in respect of services rendered partly before and partly after the adoption of the contract, liability under that subsection shall only extend to so much of the sum as is payable in respect of services rendered after the adoption of the contract.2CFor the purposes of subsections (2A) and (2B)—awages or salary payable in respect of a period of holiday or absence from work through sickness or other good cause are deemed to be wages or (as the case may be) salary in respect of services rendered in that period, andba sum payable in lieu of holiday is deemed to be wages or (as the case may be) salary in respect of services rendered in the period by reference to which the holiday entitlement arose.2D. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3A receiver who is personally liable by virtue of subsection (2) is entitled to be indemnified out of the property in respect of which he was appointed.4Any contract entered into by or on behalf of the company prior to the appointment of a receiver continues in force (subject to its terms) notwithstanding that appointment, but the receiver does not by virtue only of his appointment incur any personal liability on any such contract.5For the purposes of subsection (2), a receiver is not to be taken to have adopted a contract of employment by reason of anything done or omitted to be done within 14 days after his appointment.6This section does not limit any right to indemnity which the receiver would have apart from it, nor limit his liability on contracts entered into or adopted without authority, nor confer any right to indemnity in respect of that liability.7Any contract entered into by a receiver in the performance of his functions continues in force (subject to its terms) although the powers of the receiver are subsequently suspended under section 56.581The remuneration to be paid to a receiver is to be determined by agreement between the receiver and the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed.2Where the remuneration to be paid to the receiver has not been determined under subsection (1), or where it has been so determined but is disputed by any of the persons mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (d) below, it may be fixed instead by the Auditor of the Court of Session on application made to him by—athe receiver;bthe holder of any floating charge or fixed security over all or any part of the property of the company;cthe company; ordthe liquidator of the company.3Where the receiver has been paid or has retained for his remuneration for any period before the remuneration has been fixed by the Auditor of the Court of Session under subsection (2) any amount in excess of the remuneration so fixed for that period, the receiver or his personal representatives shall account for the excess.591Where a receiver is appointed and the company is not at the time of the appointment in course of being wound up, the debts which fall under subsection (2) of this section shall be paid out of any assets coming to the hands of the receiver in priority to any claim for principal or interest by the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed.2Debts falling under this subsection are preferential debts (within the meaning given by section 386 in Part XII) which, by the end of a period of 6 months after advertisement by the receiver for claims in the Edinburgh Gazette and in a newspaper circulating in the district where the company carries on business either—ihave been intimated to him, oriihave become known to him.3Any payments made under this section shall be recouped as far as may be out of the assets of the company available for payment of ordinary creditors.601Subject to the next section, and to the rights of any of the following categories of persons (which rights shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in any instrument, have the following order of priority), namely—athe holder of any fixed security which is over property subject to the floating charge and which ranks prior to, or pari passu with, the floating charge;ball persons who have effectually executed diligence on any part of the property of the company which is subject to the charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed;ccreditors in respect of all liabilities, charges and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the receiver;dthe receiver in respect of his liabilities, expenses and remuneration, and any indemnity to which he is entitled out of the property of the company; andethe preferential creditors entitled to payment under section 59,the receiver shall pay moneys received by him to the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed in or towards satisfaction of the debt secured by the floating charge.2Any balance of moneys remaining after the provisions of subsection (1) and section 61 below have been satisfied shall be paid in accordance with their respective rights and interests to the following persons, as the case may require—aany other receiver;bthe holder of a fixed security which is over property subject to the floating charge;cthe company or its liquidator, as the case may be.3Where any question arises as to the person entitled to a payment under this section, or where a receipt or a discharge of a security cannot be obtained in respect of any such payment, the receiver shall consign the amount of such payment in any joint stock bank of issue in Scotland in name of the Accountant of Court for behoof of the person or persons entitled thereto.611Where the receiver sells or disposes, or is desirous of selling or disposing, or any property or interest in property of the company which is subject to the floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed and which is—asubject to any security or interest of, or burden or encumbrance in favour of, a creditor the ranking of which is prior to, or pari passu with, or postponed to the floating charge, orbproperty or an interest in property affected or attached by effectual diligence executed by any person,and the receiver is unable to obtain the consent of such creditor or, as the case may be, such person to such a sale or disposal, the receiver may apply to the court for authority to sell or dispose of the property or interest in property free of such security, interest, burden, encumbrance or diligence.1AFor the purposes of subsection (1) above, an inhibition which takes effect after the creation of the floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed is not an effectual diligence.2Subject to the next subsection, on such an application the court may, if it thinks fit, authorise the sale or disposal of the property or interest in question free of such security, interest, burden, encumbrance or diligence, and such authorisation may be on such terms or conditions as the court thinks fit.3In the case of an application where a fixed security over the property or interest in question which ranks prior to the floating charge has not been met or provided for in full, the court shall not authorise the sale or disposal of the property or interest in question unless it is satisfied that the sale or disposal would be like to provide a more advantageous realisation of the company’s assets than would otherwise be effected.4It shall be a condition of an authorisation to which subsection (3) applies that—athe net proceeds of the disposal, andbwhere those proceeds are less than such amount as may be determined by the court to be the net amount which would be realised on a sale of the property or interest in the open market by a willing seller, such sums as may be required to make good the deficiency,shall be applied towards discharging the sums secured by the fixed security.5Where a condition imposed in pursuance of subsection (4) relates to two or more such fixed securities, that condition shall require the net proceeds of the disposal and, where paragraph (b) of that subsection applies, the sums mentioned in that paragraph to be applied towards discharging the sums secured by those fixed securities in the order of their priorities.6A copy of an authorisation under subsection (2) . . . shall, within 14 days of the granting of the authorisation, be sent by the receiver to the registrar of companies.7If the receiver without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsection (6), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.8Where any sale or disposal is effected in accordance with the authorisation of the court under subsection (2), the receiver shall grant to the purchaser or disponee an appropriate document of transfer or conveyance of the property or interest in question, and that document has the effect, or, where recording, intimation or registration of that document is a legal requirement for completion of title to the property or interest, then that recording, intimation or registration (as the case may be) has the effect, of—adisencumbering the property or interest of the security, interest, burden or encumbrance affecting it, andbfreeing the property or interest from the diligence executed upon it.9Nothing in this section prejudices the right of any creditor of the company to rank for his debt in the winding up of the company.621A receiver may be removed from office by the court under subsection (3) below and may resign his office by giving notice of his resignation in the prescribed manner to such persons as may be prescribed.2A receiver shall vacate office if he ceases to be qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company.3Subject to the next subsection, a receiver may, on application to the court by the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed, be removed by the court on cause shown.4Where at any time a receiver vacates office—ahis remuneration and any expenses properly incurred by him, andbany indemnity to which he is entitled out of the property of the company,shall be paid out of the property of the company which is subject to the floating charge and shall have priority as provided for in section 60(1).5When a receiver ceases to act as such otherwise than by death he shall, and, when a receiver is removed by the court, the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed shall, within 14 days of the cessation or removal (as the case may be) given the registrar of companies notice to that effect, and the registrar shall enter the notice in the register.If the receiver or the holder of the floating charge (as the case may require) makes default in complying with the requirements of this subsection, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.6If by the expiry of a period of one month following upon the removal of the receiver or his ceasing to act as such no other receiver has been appointed, the floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed—athereupon ceases to attach to the property then subject to the charge, andbagain subsists as a floating charge;and for the purposes of calculating the period of one month under this subsection no account shall be taken of any period during which the company is in administration, under Part II of this Act . . . .631The court on the application of—athe holder of a floating charge by virtue of which a receiver was appointed, orba receiver appointed under section 51,may give directions to the receiver in respect of any matter arising in connection with the performance by him of his functions.2Where the appointment of a person as a receiver by the holder of a floating charge is discovered to be invalid (whether by virtue of the invalidity of the instrument or otherwise), the court may order the holder of the floating charge to indemnify the person appointed against any liability which arises solely by reason of the invalidity of the appointment.641Where a receiver has been appointed—aevery invoice, order for goods or services, business letter or order form (whether in hard copy, electronic or any other form) issued by or on behalf of the company or the receiver or the liquidator of the company; andball the company's websites,must contain a statement that a receiver has been appointed.2If default is made in complying with the requirements of this section, the company and any of the following persons who knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits the default, namely any officer of the company, any liquidator of the company and any receiver, is liable to a fine.651Where a receiver is appointed, he shall—aforthwith send to the company and publish notice of his appointment, andbwithin 28 days after his appointment, unless the court otherwise directs, send such notice to all the creditors of the company (so far as he is aware of their addresses).2This section and the next do not apply in relation to the appointment of a receiver to act—awith an existing receiver, orbin place of a receiver who has died or ceased to act,except that, where they apply to a receiver who dies or ceases to act before they have been fully complied with, the references in this section and the next to the receiver include (subject to subsection (3) of this section) his successor and any continuing receiver.3If the company is being wound up, this section and the next apply notwithstanding that the receiver and the liquidator are the same person, but with any necessary modifications arising from that fact.4If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.661Where a receiver of a company is appointed, the receiver shall forthwith require some or all of the persons mentioned in subsection (3) below to make out and submit to him a statement in the prescribed form as to the affairs of the company.2A statement submitted under this section shall contain a statutory declaration by the persons required to submit it and shall show—aparticulars of the company’s assets, debts and liabilities;bthe names and addresses of its creditors;cthe securities held by them respectively;dthe dates when the securities were respectively given; andesuch further or other information as may be prescribed.3The persons referred to in subsection (1) are—athose who are or have been officers of the company;bthose who have taken part in the company’s formation at any time within one year before the date of the appointment of the receiver;cthose who are in the company’s employment or have been in its employment within that year, and are in the receiver’s opinion capable of giving the information required;dthose who are or have been within that year officers of or in the employment of a company which is, or within that year was, an officer of the company.In this subsection “employment” includes employment under a contract for services.4Where any persons are required under this section to submit a statement of affairs to the receiver they shall do so (subject to the next subsection) before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the prescribed notice of the requirement is given to them by the receiver.5The receiver, if he thinks fit, may—aat any time release a person from an obligation imposed on him under subsection (1) or (2), orbeither when giving the notice mentioned in subsection (4) or subsequently extend the period so mentioned,and where the receiver has refused to exercise a power conferred by this subsection, the court, if it thinks fit, may exercise it.6If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed under this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention to a daily default fine.671Where a receiver is appointed under section 51, he shall within 3 months (or such longer period as the court may allow) after his appointment, send to the registrar of companies, to the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed and to any trustees for secured creditors of the company and (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all such creditors , other than opted-out creditors, a report as to the following matters, namely—athe events leading up to his appointment, so far as he is aware of them;bthe disposal or proposed disposal by him of any property of the company and the carrying on or proposed carrying on by him of any business of the company;cthe amounts of principal and interest payable to the holder of the floating charge by virtue of which he was appointed and the amounts payable to preferential creditors; anddthe amount (if any) likely to be available for the payment of other creditors.2The receiver shall also, within 3 months (or such longer period as the court may allow) after his appointment, either—asend a copy of the report (so far as he is aware of their addresses) to all unsecured creditors of the company , other than opted-out creditors, orbpublish in the prescribed manner a notice stating an address to which unsecured creditors of the company should write for copies of the report to be sent to them free of charge,...3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4Where the company has gone or goes into liquidation, the receiver—ashall, within 7 days after his compliance with subsection (1) or, if later, the nomination or appointment of the liquidator, send a copy of the report to the liquidator, andbwhere he does so within the time limited for compliance with subsection (2), is not required to comply with that subsection.5A report under this section shall include a summary of the statement of affairs made out and submitted under section 66 and of his comments (if any) on it.6Nothing in this section shall be taken as requiring any such report to include any information the disclosure of which would seriously prejudice the carrying out by the receiver of his functions.7Section 65(2) applies for the purposes of this section also.8If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.9In this section “secured creditor”, in relation to a company, means a creditor of the company who holds in respect of his debt a security over property of the company, and “unsecured creditor” shall be construed accordingly.681Where a receiver has sent or published a report as mentioned in section 67(2) the company's unsecured creditors may, in accordance with the rules, establish a committee (“the creditors’ committee”) to exercise the functions conferred on it by or under this Act.2If such a committee is established, the committee may on giving not less than 7 days’ notice require the receiver to attend before it at any reasonable time and furnish it with such information relating to the carrying out by him of his functions as it may reasonably require.691If any receiver—ahaving made default in filing, delivering or making any return, account or other document, or in giving any notice, which a receiver is by law required to file, deliver, make or give, fails to make good the default within 14 days after the service on him of a notice requiring him to do so; orbhas, after being required at any time by the liquidator of the company so to do, failed to render proper accounts of his receipts and payments and to vouch the same and to pay over to the liquidator the amount properly payable to him,the court may, on an application made for the purpose, make an order directing the receiver to make good the default within such time as may be specified in the order.2In the case of any such default as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a), an application for the purposes of this section may be made by any member or creditor of the company or by the registrar of companies; and, in the case of any such default as is mentioned in subsection (1)(b), the application shall be made by the liquidator; and, in either case, the order may provide that all expenses of and incidental to the application shall be borne by the receiver.3Nothing in this section prejudices the operation of any enactments imposing penalties on receivers in respect of any such default as is mentioned in subsection (1).701In this Chapter, unless the contrary intention appears, the following expressions have the following meanings respectively assigned to them—“company” means an incorporated company (whether or not a company registered under the Companies Act 2006) which the Court of Session has jurisdiction to wind up;“fixed security”, in relation to any property of a company, means any security, other than a floating charge or a charge having the nature of a floating charge, which on the winding up of the company in Scotland would be treated as an effective security over that property, and (without prejudice to that generality) includes a security over that property, being—a heritable

manner that the holders thereof are entitled pari passu to the benefit of the floating charge.2Where a floating charge, secured debenture or series of secured debentures has been created by the

debentures provides for a receiver to be appointed by any person or body, be construed as a reference to that person or body;bwhere, in the case of a series of secured debentures, no such provision has been made therein but—ithere are trustees acting for the debenture-holders under and in accordance with a trust deed, be construed as a reference to those trustees, andiiwhere no such trustees are acting, be construed as a reference to—aaa majority in nominal value of those present or represented by proxy and voting at a meeting of debenture-holders at which the holders of at least one-third in nominal value of the outstanding debentures of the series are present or so represented, orbbwhere no such meeting is held, the holders of at least one-half in nominal value of the outstanding debentures of the series.3Any reference in this Chapter to a floating charge, secured debenture, series of secured debentures or instrument creating a charge includes, except where the context otherwise requires, a reference to that floating charge, debenture, series of debentures or instrument as varied by any instrument.4References in this Chapter to the instrument by which a floating charge was created are, in the case of a floating charge created by words in a bond or other written acknowledgement, references to the bond or, as the case may be, the other written acknowledgement.711The notice referred to in section 62(5), and the notice referred to in section 65(1)(a) shall be in such form as may be prescribed.2Any power conferred by this Chapter on the Secretary of State to make regulations is exercisable by statutory instrument; and a statutory instrument made in the exercise of the power so conferred to prescribe a fee is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.Chapter III721A receiver appointed under the law of either part of Great Britain in respect of the whole or any part of any property or undertaking of a company and in consequence of the company having created a charge which, as created, was a floating charge may exercise his powers in the other part of Great Britain so far as their

charge in respect of a company’s property may not appoint or apply to the court for the appointment of a receiver who on appointment would be an administrative receiver of property of the company.3In subsections (1) and (2)—“holder of a qualifying floating charge in respect of a company’s property” has the same meaning as in paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to this Act, and“administrative receiver” has the meaning given by section 251.4This section applies—ato a floating charge created on or after a date appointed by the Secretary of State by order made by statutory instrument, andbin spite of any

Part IVChapter I731This Part applies to the winding up of a company registered under the Companies Act 2006 in England and Wales or Scotland.2The winding up may be either—avoluntary (see Chapters 2 to 5), orbby the court (see Chapter 6).3This Chapter and Chapters 7 to 10 relate to winding up generally, except where otherwise stated.741When a company is wound up, every present and past member is liable to contribute to its assets to any amount sufficient for payment of its debts and liabilities, and the expenses of the winding up, and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves.2This is subject as follows—aa past member is not liable to contribute if he has ceased to be a member for one year or more before the commencement of the winding up;ba past member is not liable to contribute in respect of any debt or liability of the company contracted after he ceased to be a member;ca past member is not liable to contribute, unless it appears to the court that the existing members are unable to satisfy the contributions required to be made by them . . . ;din the case of a company limited by shares, no contribution is required from any member exceeding the amount (if any) unpaid on the shares in respect of which he is liable as a present or past member;enothing in the Companies Acts or this Act invalidates any provision contained in a policy of insurance or other contract whereby the liability of individual members on the policy or contract is restricted, or whereby the funds of the company are alone made liable in respect of the policy or contract;fa sum due to any member of the company (in his character of a member) by way of dividends, profits or otherwise is not deemed to be a debt of the company, payable to that member in a case of competition between himself and any other creditor not a member of the company, but any such sum may be taken into account for the purpose of the final adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves.3In the case of a company limited by guarantee, no contribution is required from any member exceeding the amount undertaken to be contributed by him to the company’s assets in the event of its being wound up; but if it is a company with a share capital, every member of it is liable (in addition to the amount so undertaken to be contributed to the assets), to contribute to the extent of any sums unpaid on shares held by him.75. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .761This section applies where a company is being wound up and—ait has under Chapter 5 of Part 18 of the Companies Act 2006 (acquisition by limited company of its own shares: redemption or purchase by private company out of capital) made a payment out of capital in respect of the redemption or purchase of any of its own shares (the payment being referred to below as “the relevant payment”), andbthe aggregate amount of the company’s assets and the amounts paid by way of contribution to its assets (apart from this section) is not sufficient for payment of its debts and liabilities, and the expenses of the winding up.2If the winding up commenced within one year of the date on which the relevant payment was made, then—athe person from whom the shares were redeemed or purchased, andbthe directors who signed the statement made in accordance with section 714(1) to (3) of the Companies Act 2006 for purposes of the redemption or purchase (except a director who shows that he had reasonable grounds for forming the opinion set out in the statement,are, so as to enable that insufficiency to be met, liable to contribute to the following extent to the company’s assets.3A person from whom any of the shares were redeemed or purchased is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding so much of the relevant payment as was made by the company in respect of his shares; and the directors are jointly and severally liable with that person to contribute that amount.4A person who has contributed any amount to the assets in pursuance of this section may apply to the court for an order directing any other person jointly and severally liable in respect of that amount to pay him such amount as the court thinks just and equitable.5Section 74 does not apply in relation to liability accruing by virtue of this section.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .771This section applies in the case of a company being wound up which was at some former time registered as unlimited but has re-registered as a limited company.2Notwithstanding section 74(2)(a) above, a past member of the company who was a member of it at the time of re-registration, if the winding up commences within the period of 3 years beginning with the day on which the company was re-registered, is liable to contribute to the assets of the company in respect of debts and liabilities contracted before that time.3If no persons who were members of the company at that time are existing members of it, a person who at that time was a present or past member is liable to contribute as above notwithstanding that the existing members have satisfied the contributions required to be made by them . . . This applies subject to section 74(2)(a) above and to subsection (2) of this section, but notwithstanding section 74(2)(c).4Notwithstanding section 74(2)(d) and (3), there is no limit on the amount which a person who, at that time, was a past or present member of the company is liable to contribute as above.781This section applies in the case of a company being wound up which was at some former time registered as limited but has been re-registered as unlimited . . . .2A person who, at the time when the application for the company to be re-registered was lodged, was a past member of the company and did not after that again become a member of it is not liable to contribute to the assets of the company more than he would have been liable to contribute had the company not been re-registered.791In this Act . . . the expression “contributory” means every person liable to contribute to the assets of a company in the event of its being wound up, and for the purposes of all proceedings for determining, and all proceedings prior to the final determination of, the persons who are to be deemed contributories, includes any person alleged to be a contributory.2The reference in subsection (1) to persons liable to contribute to the assets does not include a person so liable by virtue of a declaration by the court under section 213 (imputed responsibility for company’s fraudulent trading) or section 214 (wrongful trading) in Chapter X of this Part.3A reference in a company’s articles to a contributory does not (unless the context requires) include a person who is a contributory only by virtue of section 76.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80The liability of a contributory creates a debt (in England and Wales in the nature of an ordinary contract debt) accruing due from him at the time when his liability commenced, but payable at the times when calls are made for enforcing the liability.811If a contributory dies either before or after he has been placed on the list of contributories, his personal representatives, and the heirs and legatees of heritage of his heritable estate in Scotland, are liable in a due course of administration to contribute to the assets of the company in discharge of his liability and are contributories accordingly.2Where the personal representatives are placed on the list of contributories, the heirs or legatees of heritage need not be added, but they may be added as and when the court thinks fit.3If in England and Wales the personal representatives make default in paying any money ordered to be paid by them, proceedings may be taken for administering the estate of the deceased contributory and for compelling payment out of it of the money due.821The following applies if a contributory becomes bankrupt, either before or after he has been placed on the list of contributories.2His trustee in bankruptcy represents him for all purposes of the winding up, and is a contributory accordingly.3The trustee may be called on to admit to proof against the bankrupt’s estate, or otherwise allow to be paid out of the bankrupt’s assets in due course of law, any money due from the bankrupt in respect of his liability to contribute to the company’s assets.4There may be proved against the bankrupt’s estate the estimated value of his liability to future calls as well as calls already made.831The following applies in the event of a company being wound up which is registered but not formed under the Companies Act 2006..2Every person is a contributory, in respect of the company’s debts and liabilities contracted before registration, who is liable—ato pay, or contribute to the payment of, any debt or liability so contracted, orbto pay, or contribute to the payment of, any sum for the adjustment of the rights of the members among themselves in respect of any such debt or liability, orcto pay, or contribute to the amount of, the expenses of winding up the company, so far as relates to the debts or liabilities above mentioned.3Every contributory is liable to contribute to the assets of the company, in the course of the winding up, all sums due from him in respect of any such liability.4In the event of the death, bankruptcy or insolvency of any contributory, provisions of this Act, with respect to the personal representatives, to the heirs and legatees of heritage of the heritable estate in Scotland of deceased contributories and to the trustees of bankrupt or insolvent contributories respectively, apply.Chapter II841A company may be wound up voluntarily—awhen the period (if any) fixed for the duration of the company by the articles expires, or the event (if any) occurs, on the occurrence of which the articles provide that the company is to be dissolved, and the company in general meeting has passed a resolution requiring it be wound up voluntarily;bif the company resolves by special resolution that it be wound up voluntarily;c. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2In this Act the expression “a resolution for voluntary winding up” means a resolution passed under either of the paragraphs of subsection (1).2ABefore a company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up it must give written notice of the resolution to the holder of any qualifying floating charge to which section 72A applies.2BWhere notice is given under subsection (2A) a resolution for voluntary winding up may be passed only—aafter the end of the period of five business days beginning with the day on which the notice was given, orbif the person to whom the notice was given has consented in writing to the passing of the resolution.3Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Companies Act 2006 (resolutions affecting a company's constitution) applies to a resolution under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) as well as a special resolution under paragraph (b).4This section has effect subject to section 43 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.851When a company has passed a resolution for voluntary winding up, it shall, within 14 days after the passing of the resolution, give notice of the resolution by advertisement in the Gazette.2If default is made in complying with this section, the company and every officer of it who is in default is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.For purposes of this subsection the liquidator is deemed an officer of the company.86A voluntary winding up is deemed to commence at the time of the passing of the resolution for voluntary winding up.88Any transfer of shares, not being a transfer made to or with the sanction of the liquidator, and any alteration in the status of the company’s members, made after the commencement of a voluntary winding up, is void.891Where it is proposed to wind up a company voluntarily, the directors (or, in the case of a company having more than two directors, the majority of them) may at a directors’ meeting make a statutory declaration to the effect that they have made a full inquiry into the company’s affairs and that, having done so, they have formed the opinion that the company will be able to pay its debts in full, together with interest at the official rate (as defined in section 251), within such period, not exceeding 12 months from the commencement of the winding up, as may be specified in the declaration.2Such a declaration by the directors has no effect for purposes of this Act unless—ait is made within the 5 weeks immediately preceding the date of the passing of the resolution for winding up, or on that date but before the passing of the resolution, andbit embodies a statement of the company’s assets and liabilities as at the latest practicable date before the making of the declaration.3 A copy of the declaration shall be delivered to the registrar of companies before the expiration of 15 days immediately following the date on which the resolution for winding up is passed.4A director making a declaration under this section without having reasonable grounds for the opinion that the company will be able to pay its debts in full, together with interest at the official rate, within the period specified is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.5If the company is wound up in pursuance of a resolution passed within 5 weeks after the making of the declaration, and its debts (together with interest at the official rate) are not paid or provided for in full within the period specified, it is to be presumed (unless the contrary is shown) that the director did not have reasonable grounds for his opinion.6If a copy of a declaration required by subsection (3) to be delivered to the registrar is not so delivered within the time prescribed by that subsection, the company and every officer in default is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.90A winding up in the case of which a directors’ statutory declaration under section 89 has been made is a “members’ voluntary winding up”; and a winding up in the case of which such a declaration has not been made is a “creditors’ voluntary winding up”.Chapter III911In a members’ voluntary winding up, the company in general meeting shall appoint one or more liquidators for the purpose of winding up the company’s affairs and distributing its assets.2On the appointment of a liquidator all the powers of the directors cease, except so far as the company in general meeting or the liquidator sanctions their continuance.921If a vacancy occurs by death resignation or otherwise in the office of liquidator appointed by the company, the company in general meeting may, subject to any arrangement with its creditors, fill the vacancy.2For that purpose a general meeting may be convened by any contributory or, if there were more liquidators than one, by the continuing liquidators.3The meeting shall be held in manner provided by this Act or by the articles, or in such manner as may, on application by any contributory or by the continuing liquidators, be determined by the court.92A1Subject to section 96, ... the liquidator must—afor each prescribed period produce a progress report relating to the prescribed matters; andbwithin such period commencing with the end of the period referred to in paragraph (a) as may be prescribed send a copy of the progress report to—ithe members of the company; andiisuch other persons as may be prescribed.2A liquidator who fails to comply with this section is liable to a fine.93. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .941As soon as the company's affairs are fully wound up the liquidator must make up an account of the winding up, showing how it has been conducted and the company's property has been disposed of.2The liquidator must send a copy of the account to the members of the company before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the account is made up.3The liquidator must send a copy of the account to the registrar of companies before the end of that period (but not before sending it to the members of the company).4If the liquidator does not comply with subsection (2) the liquidator is liable to a fine.5If the liquidator does not comply with subsection (3) the liquidator is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, a daily default fine.951This section applies where the liquidator is of the opinion that the company will be unable to pay its debts in full (together with interest at the official rate) within the period stated in the directors’ declaration under section 89.1AThe liquidator must before the end of the period of 7 days beginning with the day after the day on which the liquidator formed that opinion—amake out a statement in the prescribed form as to the affairs of the company, andbsend it to the company's creditors.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

show—aparticulars of the company’s assets, debts and liabilities;bthe names and addresses of the company’s creditors;cthe securities held by them respectively;dthe dates when the securities were respectively given; andesuch further or other information as may be prescribed.4AThe statement as to the affairs of the company shall be ...—ain the case of a winding up of a company registered in England and Wales be verified by the liquidator, by a statement of truth; andbin the case of a winding up of a company registered in Scotland, contain a statutory declaration by the liquidator.4BThe company's creditors may in accordance with the rules nominate a person to be liquidator.4CThe liquidator must in accordance with the rules seek such a nomination from the company's creditors.5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8If the liquidator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with subsections (1) to (4A), he is liable to a fine.961The winding up becomes a creditors' voluntary winding up as from the day on which—athe company's creditors under section 95 nominate a person to be liquidator, orbthe procedure by which the company's creditors were to have made such a nomination concludes without a nomination having been made.2As from that day this Act has effect as if the directors' declaration under section 89 had not been made.3The liquidator in the creditors' voluntary winding up is to be the person nominated by the company's creditors under section 95 or, where no person has been so nominated, the existing liquidator.4In the case of the creditors nominating a person other than the existing liquidator any director, member or creditor of the company may, within 7 days after the date on which the nomination was made by the creditors, apply to the court for an order either—adirecting that the existing liquidator is to be liquidator instead of or jointly with the person nominated by the creditors, orbappointing some other person to be liquidator instead of the person nominated by the creditors.4AThe court shall grant an application under subsection (4) made by the holder of a qualifying floating charge in respect of the company's property (within the meaning of paragraph 14 of Schedule B1) unless the court thinks it right to refuse the application because of the particular circumstances of the case.5The “existing liquidator” is the person who is liquidator immediately before the winding up becomes a creditors' voluntary winding up.Chapter IV971Subject as follows, this Chapter applies in relation to a creditors’ voluntary winding up.2Sections 99 and 100 do not apply where, under section 96 in Chapter III, a members’ voluntary winding up has become a creditors’ voluntary winding up.98. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .991The directors of the company must, before the end of the period of 7 days beginning with the day after the day on which the company passes a resolution for voluntary winding up—amake out a statement in the prescribed form as to the affairs of the company, andbsend the statement to the company's creditors.2The statement as to the affairs of the company . . . shall show—aparticulars of the company’s assets, debts and liabilities;bthe names and addresses of the company’s creditors;cthe securities held by them respectively;dthe dates when the securities were respectively given; andesuch further or other information as may be prescribed.2AThe statement as to the affairs of the company shall be verified by some or all of the directors—ain the case of a winding up of a company registered in England and Wales, be verified by some or all of the directors by a statement of truth; andbin the case of a winding up of a company registered in Scotland, by affidavit contain a statutory declaration by some or all of the directors.3If the directors without reasonable excuse fail to comply with subsection (1), (2) or (2A), they are guilty of an offence and liable to a fine.1001The company may nominate a person to be liquidator at the company meeting at which the resolution for voluntary winding up is passed.1AThe company's creditors may in accordance with the rules nominate a person to be liquidator.1BThe directors of the company must in accordance with the rules seek such a nomination from the company's creditors.2The liquidator shall be the person nominated by the creditors or, where no person has been so nominated, the person (if any) nominated by the company.3In the case of different persons being nominated, any director, member or creditor of the company may, within 7 days after the date on which the nomination was made by the creditors, apply to the court for an order either—adirecting that the person nominated as liquidator by the company shall be liquidator instead of or jointly with the person nominated by the creditors, orbappointing some other person to be liquidator instead of the person nominated by the creditors.1011The creditors may in accordance with the rules appoint a committee (“the liquidation committee”) of not more than 5 persons to exercise the functions conferred on it by or under this Act.2If such a committee is appointed, the company may, either at the meeting at which the resolution for voluntary winding up is passed or at any time subsequently in general meeting, appoint such number of persons as they think fit to act as members of the committee, not exceeding 5.3However, the creditors may, if they think fit, decide that all or any of the persons so appointed by the company ought not to be members of the liquidation committee; and if the creditors so decide—athose persons are not then, unless the court otherwise directs, qualified to act as members of the committee; andbon any application to the court under this provision the court may, if it thinks fit, appoint other persons to act as such members in place of those persons.4In Scotland, the liquidation committee has, in addition to the powers and duties conferred and imposed on it by this Act, such of the powers and duties of commissioners on a bankrupt estate as may be conferred and imposed on liquidation committees by the rules.102. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .103On the appointment of a liquidator, all the powers of the directors cease, except so far as the liquidation committee (or, if there is no such committee, the creditors) sanction their continuance.104If a vacancy occurs, by death, resignation or otherwise, in the office of a liquidator (other than a liquidator appointed by, or by the direction of, the court), the creditors may fill the vacancy.104A1 The liquidator must—afor each prescribed period produce a progress report relating to the prescribed matters; andbwithin such period commencing with the end of the period referred to in paragraph (a) as may be prescribed send a copy of the progress report to—ithe members and creditors , other than opted-out creditors of the company; andiisuch other persons as may be prescribed.2A liquidator who fails to comply with this section is liable to a fine.105. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1061As soon as the company's affairs are fully wound up the liquidator must make up an account of the winding up, showing how it has been conducted and the company's property has been disposed of.2The liquidator must, before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the account is made up—asend a copy of the account to the company's members,bsend a copy of the account to the company's creditors (other than opted-out creditors), andcgive the company's creditors (other than opted-out creditors) a notice explaining the effect of section 173(2)(e) and how they may object to the liquidator's release.3The liquidator must during the relevant period send to the registrar of companies—aa copy of the account, andba statement of whether any of the company's creditors objected to the liquidator's release.4The relevant period is the period of 7 days beginning with the day after the last day of the period prescribed by the rules as the period within which the creditors may object to the liquidator's release.4A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5If the liquidator does not comply with subsection (2) the liquidator is liable to a fine.6If the liquidator does not comply with subsection (3) the liquidator is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, a daily default fine.Chapter V107Subject to the provisions of this Act as to preferential payments, the company’s property in a voluntary winding up shall on the winding up be applied in satisfaction of the company’s liabilities pari passu and, subject to that application, shall (unless the articles otherwise provide) be distributed among the members according to their rights and interests in the company.1081If from any cause whatever there is not liquidator acting, the court may appoint a liquidator.2The court may, on cause shown, remove a liquidator and appoint another.1091The liquidator shall, within 14 days after his appointment, publish in the Gazette and deliver to the registrar of companies for registration a notice of his appointment in the form prescribed by statutory instrument made by the Secretary of State.2If the liquidator fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.1101This section applies, in the case of a company proposed to be, or being, wound up voluntarily, where the whole or part of the company’s business or property is proposed to be transferred or soldato another company (“the transferee company"), whether or not the latter is a company registered under the Companies Act 2006, orbto a limited liability partnership (the “transferee limited liability partnership").2With the requisite sanction, the liquidator of the company being, or proposed to be, wound up (“the transferor company") may receive, in compensation or part compensation for the transfer or sale—ain the case of the transferee company, shares, policies or other like interests in the transferee company for distribution among the members of the transferor company, orbin the case of the transferee limited liability partnership, membership in the transferee limited liability partnership for distribution among the members of the transferor company.3The sanction requisite under subsection (2) is—ain the case of a members’ voluntary winding up, that of a special resolution of the company, conferring either a general authority on the liquidator or an authority in respect of any particular arrangement, andbin the case of a creditors’ voluntary winding up, that of either the court or the liquidation committee.4Alternatively to subsection (2), the liquidator may (with that sanction) enter into any other arrangement whereby the members of the transferor company may—ain the case of the transferee company, in lieu of receiving cash, shares, policies or other like interests (or in addition thereto) participate in the profits of, or receive any other benefit from, the transferee company, orbin the case of the transferee limited liability partnership, in lieu of receiving cash or membership (or in addition thereto), participate in some other way in the profits of, or receive any other benefit from, the transferee limited liability partnership.5A sale or arrangement in pursuance of this section is binding on members of the transferor company.6A special resolution is not invalid for purposes of this section by reason that it is passed before or concurrently with a resolution for voluntary winding up or for appointing liquidators; but, if an order is made within a year for winding up the company by the court, the special resolution is not valid unless sanctioned by the court.1111This section applies in the case of a voluntary winding up where, for the purposes of section 110(2) or (4), there has been passed a special resolution of the transferor company providing the sanction requisite for the liquidator under that section.2If a member of the transferor company who did not vote in favour of the special resolution expresses his dissent from it in writing, addressed to the liquidator and left at the company’s registered office within 7 days after the passing of the resolution, he may require the liquidator either to abstain from carrying the resolution into effect or to purchase his interest at a price to be determined by agreement or by arbitration under this section.3If the liquidator elects to purchase the member’s interest, the purchase money must be paid before the company is dissolved and be raised by the liquidator in such manner as may be determined by special resolution.4For purposes of an arbitration under this section, the provisions of the Companies Clauses Consolidation Act 1845 or, in the case of a winding up in Scotland, the Companies Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845 with respect to the settlement of disputes by arbitration are incorporated with this Act, and—ain the construction of those provisions this Act is deemed the special Act and “the company” means the transferor company, andbany appointment by the incorporated provisions directed to be made under the hand of the secretary or any two of the directors may be made in writing by the liquidator (or, if there is more than one liquidator, then any two or more of them).1121The liquidator or any contributory or creditor may apply to the court to determine any question arising in the winding up of a company, or to exercise, as respects the enforcing of calls or any other matter, all or any of the powers which the court might exercise if the company were being wound up by the court.2The court, if satisfied that the determination of the question or the required exercise of power will be just and beneficial, may accede wholly or partially to the application on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit, or may make such other order on the application as it thinks just.3A copy of an order made by virtue of this section staying the proceedings in the winding up shall forthwith be forwarded by the company, or otherwise as may be prescribed, to the registrar of companies, who shall enter it in his records relating to the company.113If the court, on the application of the liquidator in the winding up of a company registered in Scotland, so directs, no action or proceeding shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company except by leave of the court and subject to such terms as the court may impose.1141This section applies where, in the case of a voluntary winding up, no liquidator has been appointed or nominated by the company.2The powers of the directors shall not be exercised, except with the sanction of the court or (in the case of a creditors’ voluntary winding up) so far as may be necessary to secure compliance with sections ... 99 (statement of affairs) and 100(1B) (nomination of liquidator by creditors), during the period before the appointment or nomination of a liquidator of the company.3Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to the powers of the directors—ato dispose of perishable goods and other goods the value of which is likely to diminish if they are not immediately disposed of, andbto do all such other things as may be necessary for the protection of the company’s assets.4If the directors of the company without reasonable excuse fail to comply with this section, they are liable to a fine.115 After the payment of any liabilities to which section 174A applies, all expenses properly incurred in the winding up, including the remuneration of the liquidator, are payable out of the company’s assets in priority to all other claims.116The voluntary winding up of a company does not bar the right of any creditor or contributory to have it wound up by the court; but in the case of an application by a contributory the court must be satisfied that the rights of the contributories will be prejudiced by a voluntary winding up.Chapter VI1171The High Court has jurisdiction to wind up any company registered in England and Wales.2Where in the case of a company registered in England and Wales the amount of its share capital paid up or credited as paid up does not exceed £120,000, then (subject to this section) the county court ... has concurrent jurisdiction with the High Court to wind up the company.2ADespite subsection (2), proceedings for the exercise of the jurisdiction to wind up a company registered in England and Wales may be commenced only in the High Court if the place which has longest been the company’s registered office during the 6 months immediately preceding the presentation of the petition for winding up is in the district that is the London insolvency district for the purposes of the second Group of Parts of this Act.3The money sum for the time being specified in subsection (2) is subject to increase or reduction by order under section 416 in Part XV.4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5Every court in England and Wales having winding-up jurisdiction has for the purposes of that jurisdiction all the powers of the High Court; and every prescribed officer of the court shall perform any duties which an officer of the High Court may discharge by order of a judge of that court or otherwise in relation to winding up.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8The Lord Chief Justice may nominate a judicial office holder (as defined in section 109(4) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005) to exercise his functions under this section.1181Nothing in section 117 invalidates a proceeding by reason of its being taken in the wrong court.2The winding up of a company by the court in England and Wales, or any proceedings in the winding up, may be retained in the court in which the proceedings were commenced, although it may not be the court in which they ought to have been commenced.1191If any question arises in any winding-up proceedings in a county court which all the parties to the proceedings, or which one of them and the judge of the court, desire to have determined in the first instance in the High Court, the judge shall state the facts in the form of a special case for the opinion of the High Court.2Thereupon the special case and the proceedings (or such of them as may be required) shall be transmitted to the High Court for the purposes of the determination.1201The Court of Session has jurisdiction to wind up any company registered in Scotland.2When the Court of Session is in vacation, the jurisdiction conferred on that court by this section may (subject to the provisions of this Part) be exercised by the judge acting as vacation judge in pursuance of section 4 of the Admnistration of Justice (Scotland) Act 1933.3Where the amount of a company’s share capital paid up or credited as paid up does not exceed £120,000, the sheriff court of the sheriffdom in which the company’s registered office is situated has concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Session to wind up the company; but—athe Court of Session may, if it thinks expedient having regard to the amount of the company’s assets to do so—iremit to a sheriff court any petition presented to the Court of Session for winding up such a company, oriirequire such a petition presented to a sheriff court to be remitted to the Court of Session; andbthe Court of Session may require any such petition as above mentioned presented to one sheriff court to be remitted to another sheriff court; andcin a winding up in the sheriff court the sheriff may submit a stated case for the opinion of the Court of Session on any question of law arising in that winding up.4For purposes of this section, the expression “registered office” means the place which has longest been the company’s registered office during the 6 months immediately preceding the presentation of the petition for winding up.5The money sum for the time being specified in subsection (3) is subject to increase or reduction by order under section 416 in Part XV.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1211The Court of Session may, by Act of Sederunt, make provision for the taking of proceedings in a winding up before one of the Lords Ordinary; and, where provision is so made, the Lord Ordinary has, for the purposes of the winding up all the powers and jurisdiction of the court.2However, the Lord Ordinary may report to the Inner House any matter which may arise in the course of a winding up.1221A company may be wound up by the court if—athe company has by special resolution resolved that the company be wound up by the court,bbeing a public company which was registered as such on its original incorporation, the company has not been issued with a trading certificate under section 761 of the Companies Act 2006 (requirement as to minimum share capital) and more than a year has expired since it was so registered,cit is an old public company, within the meaning of the Schedule 3 to the Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2009,dthe company does not commence its business within a year from its incorporation or suspends its business for a whole year;e. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .fthe company is unable to pay its debts,fa. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .gthe court is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up.2In Scotland, a company which the Court of Session has jurisdiction to wind up may be wound up by the Court if there is subsisting a floating charge over property comprised in the company’s property and undertaking, and the court is satisfied that the security of the creditor entitled to the benefit of the floating charge is in jeopardy.For this purpose a creditor’s security is deemed to be in jeopardy if the Court is satisfied that events have occurred or are about to occur which render it unreasonable in the creditor’s interests that the company should retain power to dispose of the property which is subject to the floating charge.1231A company is deemed unable to pay its debts—aif a creditor (by assignment or otherwise) to whom the company is indebted in a sum exceeding £750 then due has served on the company, by leaving it at the company’s registered office, a written demand (in the prescribed form) requiring the company to pay the sum so due and the company has for 3 weeks thereafter neglected to pay the sum or to secure or compound for it to the reasonable satisfaction of the creditor, orbif, in England and Wales, execution or other process issued on a judgment, decree or order of any court in favour of a creditor of the company is returned unsatisfied in whole or in part, orcif, in Scotland, the induciae of a charge for payment on an extract decree, or an extract registered bond, or an extract registered protest, have expired without payment being made, ordif, in Northern Ireland, a certificate of unenforceability has been granted in respect of a judgment against the company, oreif it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due.2A company is also deemed unable to pay its debts if it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that the value of the company’s assets is less than the amount of its liabilities, taking into account its contingent and prospective liabilities.3The money sum for the time being specified in subsection (1)(a) is subject to increase or reduction by order under section 416 in Part XV.1241Subject to the provisions of this section, an application to the court for the winding up of a company shall be by petition presented either by the company, or the directors, or by any creditor or creditors (including any contingent or prospective creditor or creditors), contributory or contributories, ... or by the designated officer for a magistrates' court in the exercise of the power conferred by section 87A of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (enforcement of fines imposed on companies), or by all or any of those parties, together or separately.2Except as mentioned below, a contributory is not entitled to present a winding-up petition unless either—athe number of members is reduced below 2, orbthe shares in respect of which he is a contributory, or some of them, either were originally allotted to him, or have been held by him, and registered in his name, for at least 6 months during the 18 months before the commencement of the winding up, or have devolved on him through the death of a former holder.3A person who is liable under section 76 to contribute to a company’s assets in the event of its being wound up may petition on either of the grounds set out in section 122(1)(f) and (g), and subsection (2) above does not then apply; but unless the person is a contributory otherwise than under section 76, he may not in his character as contributory petition on any other ground.. . . 3A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4A winding-up petition may be presented by the Secretary of State—aif the ground of the petition is

124C(1) or (2).4AA winding-up petition may be presented by the Regulator of Community Interest Companies in a case falling within section 50 of the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004.5Where a company is being wound up voluntarily in England and Wales, a winding-up petition may be presented by the official receiver attached to the court as well as by any other person authorised in that behalf under the other provisions of this section; but the court shall not make a winding-up order on the petition unless it is satisfied that the voluntary winding up cannot be continued with due regard to the interests of the creditors or contributories.124A1Where it appears to the Secretary of State from—aany report made or information obtained under Part XIV (except section 448A) of the Companies Act 1985 (company investigations, &c.),bany report made by inspectors under—isection 167, 168, 169 or 284 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, oriiwhere the company is an open-ended investment company (within the meaning of that Act), regulations made as a result of section 262(2)(k) of that Act;bbany information or documents obtained under section 165, 171, 172, 173 or 175 of that Act,cany information obtained under section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act 1987 or section 28 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (fraud investigations), ordany information obtained under section 83 of the Companies Act 1989 (powers exercisable for purpose of assisting overseas regulatory authorities),that it is expedient in the public interest that a company should be wound up, he may present a petition for it to be wound up if the court thinks it just and equitable for it to be so.2This section does not apply if the company is already being wound up by the court.124B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .124C. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1251On hearing a winding-up petition the court may dismiss it, or adjourn the hearing conditionally or unconditionally, or make an interim order, or any other order that it thinks fit; but the court shall not refuse to make a winding-up order on the ground only that the company’s assets have been mortgaged to an amount equal to or in excess of those assets, or that the company has no assets.2If the petition is presented by members of the company as contributories on the ground that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up, the court, if it is of opinion—athat the petitioners are entitled to relief either by winding up the company or by some other means, andbthat in the absence of any other remedy it would be just and equitable that the company should be wound up,shall make a winding-up order; but this does not apply if the court is also of the opinion both that some other remedy is available to the petitioners and that they are acting unreasonably in seeking to have the company wound up instead of pursuing that other remedy.1261At any time after the presentation of a winding-up petition, and before a winding-up order has been made, the company, or any creditor or contributory, may—awhere any action or proceeding against the company is pending in the High Court or Court of Appeal in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, apply to the court in which the action or proceeding is pending for a stay of proceedings therein, andbwhere any other action or proceeding is pending against the company, apply to the court having jurisdiction to wind up the company to restrain further proceedings in the action or proceeding;and the court to which the application is so made may (as the case may be) stay, sist or restrain the proceedings accordingly on such terms as it thinks fit.2In the case of a company registered but not formed under the Companies Act 2006, where the application to stay, sist or restrain is by a creditor, this section extends to actions and proceedings against any contributory of the company.3Subsection (1) applies in relation to any action being taken in respect of the company under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction from accounts) as it applies in relation to any action or proceeding mentioned in paragraph (b) of that subsection.1271 In a winding up by the court, any disposition of the company’s property, and any transfer of shares, or alteration in the status of the company’s members, made after the commencement of the winding up is, unless the court otherwise orders, void.2This section has no effect in respect of anything done by an administrator of a company while a winding-up petition is suspended under paragraph 40 of Schedule B1.3This section has no effect in respect of anything done during a moratorium under Part A1, or during a period mentioned in section 5(4)(a) following the end of a moratorium, where the winding-up order was made on a petition presented before the moratorium begins, unless the petition was presented under section 367 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 on the ground mentioned in section 367(3)(b) of that Act.1281Where a company registered in England and Wales is being wound up by the court, any attachment, sequestration, distress or execution put in force against the estate or effects of the company after the commencement of the winding up is void.2This section, so far as relates to any estate or effects of the company situated in England and Wales, applies in the case of a company registered in Scotland as it applies in the case of a company registered in England and Wales.3In subsection (1) “attachment” includes a hold notice or a deduction notice under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction from accounts) and, if subsection (1) has effect in relation to a deduction notice, it also has effect in relation to the hold notice to which the deduction notice relates (whenever the hold notice was given).1291If, before the presentation of a petition for the winding up of a company by the court, a resolution has been passed by the company for voluntary winding up, the winding up of the company is deemed to have commenced at the time of the passing of the resolution; and unless the court, on proof of fraud or mistake, directs otherwise, all proceedings taken in the voluntary winding up are deemed to have been validly taken.1AWhere the court makes a winding-up order by virtue of paragraph 13(1)(e) of Schedule B1, the winding up is deemed to commence on the making of the order.2In any other case, the winding up of a company by the court is deemed to commence at the time of the presentation of the petition for winding up.1301On the making of a winding-up order, a copy of the order must forthwith be forwarded by the company (or otherwise as may be prescribed) to the registrar of companies, who shall enter it in his records relating to the company.2When a winding-up order has been made or a provisional liquidator has been appointed, no action or proceeding shall be proceeded with or commenced against the company or its property, except by leave of the court and subject to such terms as the court may impose.3When an order has been made for winding up a company registered but not formed under the Companies Act 2006, no action or proceeding shall be commenced or proceeded with against the company or its property or any contributory of the company, in respect of any debt of the company, except by leave of the court, and subject to such terms as the court may impose.3AIn subsections (2) and (3), the reference to an action or proceeding includes action in respect of the company under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction from accounts).4An order for winding up a company operates in favour of all the creditors and of all contributories of the company as if made on the joint petition of a creditor and of a contributory.1311Where the court has made a winding-up order or appointed a provisional liquidator, the official receiver may require some or all of the persons mentioned in subsection (3) below to make out and submit to him a statement in the prescribed form as to the affairs of the company.2The statement . . . shall show—aparticulars of the company’s assets, debts and liabilities;bthe names and addresses of the company’s creditors;cthe securities held by them respectively;dthe dates when the securities were respectively given; andesuch further or other information as may be prescribed or as the official receiver may require2AThe statement shall be verified by the persons required to submit it—ain the case of an appointment of a provisional liquidator or a winding up by the court in England and Wales be verified by the persons required to submit it, by a statement of truth; andbin the case of an appointment of a provisional liquidator or a winding up by the court in Scotland, by affidavit contain a statutory declaration by the persons required to submit it.3The persons referred to in subsection (1) are—athose who are or have been officers of the company;bthose who have taken part in the formation of the company at any time within one year before the relevant date;cthose who are in the company’s employment, or have been in its employment within that year, and are in the official receiver’s opinion capable of giving the information required;dthose who are or have been within that year officers of, or in the employment of, a company which is, or within that year was, an officer of the company.4Where any persons are required under this section to submit a statement of affairs to the official receiver, they shall do so (subject to the next subsection) before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the prescribed notice of the requirement is given to them by the official receiver.5The official receiver, if he thinks fit, may—aat any time release a person from an obligation imposed on him under subsection (1) or (2) above; orbeither when giving the notice mentioned in subsection (4) or subsequently, extend the period so mentioned;and where the official receiver has refused to exercise a power conferred by this subsection, the court, if it thinks fit, may exercise it.6In this section—“employment” includes employment under a contract for services; and“the relevant date” means—ain a case where a provisional liquidator is appointed, the date of his appointment; andbin a case where no such appointment is made, the date of the winding-up order.7If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed under this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.8In the application of this section to Scotland references to the official receiver are to the liquidator or, in a case where a provisional liquidator is appointed, the provisional liquidator.1321Where a winding-up order is made by the court in England and Wales, it is the duty of the official receiver to investigate—aif the company has failed, the causes of the failure; andbgenerally, the promotion, formation, business, dealings and affairs of the company,and to make such report (if any) to the court as he thinks fit.2The report is, in any proceedings, prima facie evidence of the facts stated in it.1331Where a company is being wound up by the court, the official receiver or, in Scotland, the liquidator may at any time before the dissolution of the company apply to the court for the public examination of any person who—ais or has been an officer of the company; orbhas acted as liquidator or administrator of the company or as receiver or manager or, in Scotland, receiver of its property; orcnot being a person falling within paragraph (a) or (b), is or has been concerned, or has taken part, in the promotion, formation or management of the company.2Unless the court otherwise orders, the official receiver or, in Scotland, the liquidator shall make an application under subsection (1) if he is requested in accordance with the rules to do so by—aone-half, in value, of the company’s creditors; orbthree-quarters, in value, of the company’s contributories.3On an application under subsection (1), the court shall direct that a public examination of the person to whom the application relates shall be held on a day appointed by the court; and that person shall attend on that day and be publicly examined as to the promotion, formation or management of the company or as to the conduct of its business and affairs, or his conduct or dealings in relation to the company.4The following may take part in the public examination of a person under this section and may question that person concerning the matters mentioned in subsection (3), namely—athe official receiver;bthe liquidator of the company;cany person who has been appointed as special manager of the company’s property or business;dany creditor of the company who has tendered a proof or, in Scotland, submitted a claim in the winding up;eany contributory of the company.1341If a person without reasonable excuse fails at any time to attend his public examination under section 133, he is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly.2In a case where a person without reasonable excuse fails at any time to attend his examination under section 133 or there are reasonable grounds for believing that a person has absconded, or is about to abscond, with a view to avoiding or delaying his examination under that section, the court may cause a warrant to be issued to a constable or prescribed officer of the court—afor the arrest of that person; andbfor the seizure of any books, papers, records, money or goods in that person’s possession.3In such a case the court may authorise the person arrested under the warrant to be kept in custody, and anything seized under such a warrant to be held, in accordance with the rules, until such time as the court may order.1351Subject to the provisions of this section, the court may, at any time after the presentation of a winding-up petition, appoint a liquidator provisionally.2In England and Wales, the appointment of a provisional liquidator may be made at any time before the making of a winding-up order; and either the official receiver or any other fit person may be appointed.3In Scotland, such an appointment may be made at any time before the first appointment of liquidators.4The provisional liquidator shall carry out such functions as the court may confer on him.5When a liquidator is provisionally appointed by the court, his powers may be limited by the order appointing him.1361The following provisions of this section have effect, subject to section 140 below, on a winding-up order being made by the court in England and Wales.2The official receiver, by virtue of his office, becomes the liquidator of the company and continues in office until another person becomes liquidator under the provisions of this Part.3The official receiver is, by virtue of his office, the liquidator during any vacancy.4At any time when he is the liquidator of the company, the official receiver may in accordance with the rules seek nominations from the company’s creditors and contributories for the purpose of choosing a person to be liquidator of the company in place of the official receiver.5It is the duty of the official receiver—aas soon as practicable in the period of 12 weeks beginning with the day on which the winding-up order was made, to decide whether to exercise his power under sub-section (4) ... , andbif in pursuance of paragraph (a) he decides not to exercise that power, to give notice of his decision, before the end of that period, to the court and to the company’s creditors and contributories, andc(whether or not he has decided to exercise that power) to exercise his power ... under subsection (4) if he is at any time requested, in accordance with rules, to do so by one-quarter, in value, of the company’s creditors;and accordingly, where the duty imposed by paragraph (c) arises before the official receiver has performed a duty imposed by paragraph (a) or (b), he is not required to perform the latter duty.6A notice given under subsection (5)(b) to the company’s creditors shall contain an explanation of the creditors’ power under subsection (5)(c) to require the official receiver to seek nominations from the company’s creditors and contributories.1371In a winding up by the court in England and Wales the official receiver may, at any time when he is the liquidator of the company, apply to the Secretary of State for the appointment of a person as liquidator in his place.2If nominations are sought from the company's creditors and contributories in pursuance of a decision under section 136(5)(a), but no person is chosen to be liquidator as a result ..., it is the duty of the official receiver to decide whether to refer the need for an appointment to the Secretary of State.3On an application under subsection (1), or a reference made in pursuance of a decision under subsection (2), the Secretary of State shall either make an appointment or decline to make one.4Where a liquidator has been appointed by the Secretary of State under subsection (3), the liquidator shall give notice of his appointment to the company’s creditors or, if the court so allows, shall advertise his appointment in accordance with the directions of the court.5In that notice or advertisement the liquidator must explain the procedure for establishing a liquidation committee under section 141.1381Where a winding-up order is made by the court in Scotland, a liquidator shall be appointed by the court at the time when the order is made.2The liquidator so appointed (here referred to as “the interim liquidator”) continues in office until another person becomes liquidator in his place under this section or the next.3The interim liquidator shall (subject to the next subsection) as soon as practicable in the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the winding-up order was made or such longer period as the court may allow, in accordance with the rules seek nominations from the company’s creditors and contributories for the purpose of choosing a person (who may be the person who is the interim liquidator) to be liquidator of the company in place of the interim liquidator.4If it appears to the interim liquidator, in any case where a company is being wound up on grounds including its inability to pay its debts, that it would be inappropriate to seek a nomination from the company's contributories under subsection (3), he may seek a nomination only from the company’s creditors for the purpose mentioned in that subsection.5If a nomination is sought from the company's creditors, or nominations are sought from the company's creditors and contributories, in pursuance of this section but no person is appointed or nominated as a result, the interim liquidator shall make a report to the court which shall appoint either the interim liquidator or some other person to be liquidator of the company.6A person who becomes liquidator of the company in place of the interim liquidator shall, unless he is appointed by the court, forthwith notify the court of that fact.1391This section applies where a company is being wound up by the court and nominations are sought from the company's creditors and contributories for the purpose of choosing a person to be liquidator of the company.2The creditors and the contributories may in accordance with the rules nominate a person to be liquidator.3The liquidator shall be the person nominated by the creditors or, where no person has been so nominated, the person (if any) nominated by the contributories.4In the case of different persons being nominated, any contributory or creditor may, within 7 days after the date on which the nomination was made by the creditors, apply to the court for an order either—aappointing the person nominated as liquidator by the contributories to be a liquidator instead of, or jointly with, the person nominated by the creditors; orbappointing some other person to be liquidator instead of the person nominated by the creditors.1401Where a winding-up order is made immediately upon the appointment of an administrator ceasing to have effect, the court may appoint as liquidator of the company the person whose appointment as administrator has ceased to have effect.2Where a winding-up order is made at a time when there is a supervisor of a voluntary arrangement approved in relation to the company under Part I, the court may appoint as liquidator of the company the person who is the supervisor at the time when the winding-up order is made.3Where the court makes an appointment under this section, the official receiver does not become the liquidator as otherwise provided by section 136(2), and section 136(5)(a) and (b) does not apply. 1411This section applies where a winding up order has been made by the court in England and Wales.2If both the company's creditors and the company's contributories decide that a liquidation committee should be established, a liquidation committee is to be established in accordance with the rules.3If only the company's creditors, or only the company's contributories, decide that a liquidation committee should be established, a liquidation committee is to be established in accordance with the rules unless the court orders otherwise.3AA “liquidation committee” is a committee having such functions as are conferred on it by or under this Act.3BThe liquidator must seek a decision from the company's creditors and contributories as to whether a liquidation committee should be established if requested, in accordance with the rules, to do so by one-tenth in value of the company's creditors.3CSubsection (3B) does not apply where the liquidator is the official receiver.4The liquidation committee is not to be able or required to carry out its functions at any time when the official receiver is liquidator; but at any such time its functions are vested in the Secretary of State except to the extent that the rules otherwise provide.5Where there is for the time being no liquidation committee, and the liquidator is a person other than the official receiver, the functions of such a committee are vested in the Secretary of State except to the extent that the rules otherwise provide.1421This section applies where a winding up order has been made by the court in Scotland.2If both the company's creditors and the company's contributories decide that a liquidation committee should be established, a liquidation committee is to be established in accordance with the rules.3If only the company's creditors, or only the company's contributories, decide that a liquidation committee should be established, a liquidation committee is to be established in accordance with the rules unless the court orders otherwise.3AA “liquidation committee” is a committee having such functions as are conferred on it by or under this Act.4A liquidator appointed by the court other than under section 139(4)(a) must seek a decision from the company's creditors and contributories as to whether a liquidation committee should be established if requested, in accordance with the rules, to do so by one-tenth in value of the company's creditors.5Where in the case of any winding up there is for the time being no liquidation committee, the functions of such a committee are vested in the court except to the extent that the rules otherwise provide.6A “liquidation committee” is a committee having the powers and duties conferred and imposed on it by this Act, and such of the powers and duties of commissioners in a sequestration as may be conferred and imposed on such committees by the rules.1431The functions of the liquidator of a company which is being wound up by the court are to secure that the assets of the company are got in, realised and distributed to the company’s creditors and, if there is a surplus, to the persons entitled to it.2It is the duty of the liquidator of a company which is being wound up by the court in England and Wales, if he is not the official receiver—ato furnish the official receiver with such information,bto produce to the official receiver, and permit inspection by the official receiver of, such books, papers and other records, andcto give the official receiver such other assistance,as the official receiver may reasonably require for the purposes of carrying out his functions in relation to the winding up.1441When a winding-up order has been made, or where a provisional liquidator has been appointed, the liquidator or the provisional liquidator (as the case may be) shall take into his custody or under his control all the property and things in action to which the company is or appears to be entitled.2In a winding up by the court in Scotland, if and so long as there is no liquidator, all the property of the company is deemed to be in the custody of the court.1451When a company is being wound up by the court, the court may on the application of the liquidator by order direct that all or any part of the property of whatsoever description belonging to the company or held by trustees on its behalf shall vest in the liquidator by his official name; and thereupon the property to which the order relates vests accordingly.2The liquidator may, after giving such indemnity (if any) as the court may direct, bring or defend in his official name any action or other legal proceeding which relates to that property or which it is necessary to bring or defend for the purpose of effectually winding up the company and recovering its property.1461This section applies where a company is being wound up by the court and the liquidator is not the official receiver.2If it appears to the liquidator that the winding up of the company is for practical purposes complete the liquidator must make up an account of the winding up, showing how it has been conducted and the company's property has been disposed of.3The liquidator must—asend a copy of the account to the company's creditors (other than opted-out creditors), andbgive the company's creditors (other than opted-out creditors) a notice explaining the effect of section 174(4)(d) and how they may object to the liquidator's release.4The liquidator must during the relevant period send to the court and the registrar of companies—aa copy of the account, andba statement of whether any of the company's creditors objected to the liquidator's release.5The relevant period is the period of 7 days beginning with the day after the last day of the period prescribed by the rules as the period within which the creditors may object to the liquidator's release.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .146A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1471The court may at any time after an order for winding up, on the application either of the liquidator or the official receiver or any creditor or contributory, and on proof to the satisfaction of the court that all proceedings in the winding up ought to be stayed or sisted, make an order staying or sisting the proceedings, either altogether or for a limited time, on such terms and conditions as the court thinks fit.2The court may, before making an order, require the official receiver to furnish to it a report with respect to any facts or matters which are in his opinion relevant to the application.3A copy of every order made under this section shall forthwith be forwarded by the company, or otherwise as may be prescribed, to the registrar of companies, who shall enter it in his records relating to the company.1481As soon as may be after making a winding-up order, the court shall settle a list of contributories, with power to rectify the register of members in all cases where rectification is required . . . , and shall cause the company’s assets to be collected, and applied in discharge of its liabilities.2If it appears to the court that it will not be necessary to make calls on or adjust the rights of contributories, the court may dispense with the settlement of a list of contributories.3In settling the list, the court shall distinguish between persons who are contributories in their own right and persons who are contributories as being representatives of or liable for the debts of others.1491The court may, at any time after making a winding-up order, make an order on any contributory for the time being on the list of contributories to pay, in manner directed by the order, any money due from him (or from the estate of the person who he represents) to the company, exclusive of any money payable by him or the estate by virtue of any call . . . .2The court in making such an order may—ain the case of an unlimited company, allow to the contributory by way of set-off any money due to him or the estate which he represents from the company on any independent dealing or contract with the company, but not any money due to him as a member of the company in respect of any dividend or profit, andbin the case of a limited company, make to any director or manager whose liability is unlimited or to his estate the like allowance.3In the case of any company, whether limited or unlimited, when all the creditors are paid in full (together with interest at the official rate) any money due on any account whatever to a contributory from the company may be allowed to him by way of set-off against any subsequent call.1501The court may, at any time after making a winding-up order, and either before or after it has ascertained the sufficiency of the company’s assets, make calls on all or any of the contributories for the time being settled on the list of the contributories to the extent of their liability, for payment of any money which the court considers necessary to satisfy the company’s debts and liabilities, and the expenses of winding up, and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves, and make an order for payment of any calls so made.2In making a call the court may take into consideration the probability that some of the contributories may partly or wholly fail to pay it.151. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1521An order made by the court on a contributory is conclusive evidence that the money (if any) thereby appearing to be due or ordered to be paid is due, but subject to any right of appeal.2All other pertinent matters stated in the order are to be taken as truly stated as against all persons and in all proceedings except proceedings in Scotland against the heritable estate of a deceased contributory; and in that case the order is only prima facie evidence for the purpose of charging his heritable estate, unless his heirs or legatees of heritage were on the list of contributories at the time of the order being made.153The court may fix a time or times within which creditors are to prove their debts or claims or to be excluded from the benefit of any distribution made before those debts are proved.154The court shall adjust the rights of the contributories among themselves and distribute any surplus among the persons entitled to it.1551The court may, at any time after making a winding-up order, make such order for inspection of the company’s books and papers by creditors and contributories as the court thinks just; and any books and papers in the company’s possession may be inspected by creditors and contributories accordingly, but not further or otherwise.2Nothing in this section excludes or restricts any statutory rights of a government department or person acting under the authority of a government department.3For the purposes of subsection (2) above, references to a government department shall be construed as including references to any part of the Scottish Administration.156The court may, in the event of the assets being insufficient to satisfy the liabilities, make an order as to the payment out of the assets of the expenses incurred in the winding up in such order of priority as the court thinks just.157In the winding up by the court of a company registered in Scotland, the court has power to require the attendance of any officer of the company at any meeting of creditors or of contributories, or of a liquidation committee, for the purpose of giving information as to the trade, dealings, affairs or property of the company.158The court, at any time either before or after making a winding-up order, on proof of probable cause for believing that a contributory is about to quit the United Kingdom or otherwise to abscond or to remove or conceal any of his property for the purpose of evading payment of calls, may cause the contributory to be arrested and his books and papers and moveable personal property to be seized and him and them to be kept safely until such time as the court may order.159Powers conferred on the court by this Act are in addition to, and not in restriction of, any existing powers of instituting proceedings against a contributory or debtor of the company, or the estate of any contributory or debtor, for the recovery of any call or other sums.1601Provision may be made by rules for enabling or requiring all or any of the powers and duties conferred and imposed on the court in England and Wales ... in respect of the following matters—athe seeking of decisions on any matter from creditors and contributories,bthe settling of lists of contributories and the rectifying of the register of members where required, and the collection and application of the assets,cthe payment, delivery, conveyance, surrender or transfer of money, property, books or papers to the liquidator,dthe making of calls,ethe fixing of a time within which debts and claims must be proved,to be exercised or performed by the liquidator as an officer of the court, and subject to the court’s control.2But the liquidator shall not, without the special leave of the court, rectify the register of members, and shall not make any call without either that special leave or the sanction of the liquidation committee.1611In Scotland, where an order, interlocutor or decree has been made for winding up a company by the court, it is competent to the court, on production by the liquidators of a list certified by them of the names of the contributories liable in payment of any calls, and of the amount due by each contributory, and of the date when that amount became due, to pronounce forthwith a decree against those contributories for payment of the sums so certified to be due, with interest from that date until payment (at 5 per cent. per annum) in the same way and to the same effect as if they had severally consented to registration for execution, on a charge of 6 days, of a legal obligation to pay those calls and interest.2The decree may be extracted immediately, and no suspension of it is competent, except on caution or consignation, unless with special leave of the court.1621Subject to the provision of this section and to rules of court, an appeal from any order or decision made or given in the winding up of a company by the court in Scotland under this Act lies in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as an appeal from an order or decision of the court in cases within its ordinary jurisdiction.2In regard to orders of judgments pronounced by the judge acting as vacation judge in pursuance of section 4 of the Administration of Justice (Scotland) Act 1933—anone of the orders specified in Part I of Schedule 3 to this Act are subject to review, reduction, suspension or stay of execution, andbevery other order or judgment (except as mentioned below) may be submitted to review by the Inner House by reclaiming motion enrolled within 14 days from the date of the order or judgment.3However, an order being one of those specified in Part II of that Schedule shall, from the date of the order and notwithstanding that it has been submitted to review as above, be carried out and receive effect until the Inner House have disposed of the matter.4In regard to orders or judgments pronounced in Scotland by a Lord Ordinary before whom proceedings in a winding up are being taken, any such order or judgment may be submitted to review by the Inner House by reclaiming motion enrolled within 14 days from its date; but should it not be so submitted to review during session, the provisions of this section in regard to orders or judgments pronounced by the judge acting as vacation judge apply.5Nothing in this section affects provisions of the Companies Acts or this Act in reference to decrees in Scotland for payment of calls in the winding up of companies, whether voluntary or by the court.Chapter VII163The liquidator of a company shall be described—awhere a person other than the official receiver is liquidator, by the style of “the liquidator” of the particular company, orbwhere the official receiver is liquidator, by the style of “the official receiver and liquidator” of the particular company;and in neither case shall he be described by an individual name.164A person who gives, or agrees or offers to give, to any member or creditor of a company any valuable consideration with a view to securing his own appointment or nomination, or to securing or preventing the appointment or nomination of some person other than himself, as the company’s liquidator is liable to a fine.1651This section has effect where a company is being wound up voluntarily, but subject to section 166 below in the case of a creditor’s voluntary winding up.2The liquidator may exercise any of the powers specified in Parts 1 to 3 of Schedule 4.4The liquidator may—aexercise the court’s power of settling a list of contributories (which list is prima facie evidence of the liability of the persons named in it to be contributories),bexercise the court’s power of making calls,csummon general meetings of the company for the purpose of obtaining its sanction by special resolution or for any other purpose he may think fit.5The liquidator shall pay the company’s debts and adjust the rights of the contributories among themselves.6Where the liquidator in exercise of the powers conferred on him by this Act disposes of any property of the company to a person who is connected with the company (within the meaning of section 249 in Part VII), he shall, if there is for the time being a liquidation committee, give notice to the committee of that exercise of his powers.1661This section applies where, in the case of a creditors’ voluntary winding up, a liquidator has been nominated by the company.1AThe exercise by the liquidator of the power specified in paragraph 6 of Schedule 4 to this Act (power to sell any of the company's property) shall not be challengeable on the ground of any prior inhibition.2The powers conferred on the liquidator by section 165 shall not be exercised, except with the sanction of the court, before— athe company's creditors under section 100 nominate a person to be liquidator, orbthe procedure by which the company's creditors were to have made such a nomination concludes without a nomination having been made.3Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to the power of the liquidator—ato take into his custody or under his control all the property to which the company is or appears to be entitled;bto dispose of perishable goods and other goods the value of which is likely to diminish if they are not immediately disposed of; andcto do all such other things as may be necessary for the protection of the company’s assets.4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5If the directors fail to comply with— asection 99(1), (2) or (2A), orbsection 100(1B), the liquidator shall, within 7 days of the relevant day, apply to the court for directions as to the manner in which that default is to be remedied.6“The relevant day” means the day on which the liquidator was nominated by the company or the day on which he first became aware of the default, whichever is the later.7If the liquidator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine.1671Where a company is being wound up by the court, the liquidator may exercise any of the powers specified in Parts 1 to 3 of Schedule 4.2Where the liquidator (not being the official receiver), in exercise of the powers conferred on him by this Act—adisposes of any property of the company to a person who is connected with the company (within the meaning of section 249 in Part VII) orbemploys a solicitor to assist him in the carrying out of his functions,he shall, if there is for the time being a liquidation committee, give notice to the committee of that exercise of his powers.3The exercise by the liquidator in a winding up by the court of the powers conferred by this section is subject to the control of the court, and any creditor or contributory may apply to the court with respect to any exercise or proposed exercise of any of those powers.1681This section applies in the case of a company which is being wound up by the court in England and Wales.2The liquidator may seek a decision on any matter from the company's creditors or contributories; and must seek a decision on a matter—afrom the company's creditors, if requested to do so by one-tenth in value of the creditors;bfrom the company's contributories, if requested to do so by one-tenth in value of the contributories.3The liquidator may apply to the court (in the prescribed manner) for directions in relation to any particular matter arising in the winding up.4Subject to the provisions of this Act, the liquidator shall use his own discretion in the management of the assets and their distribution among the creditors.5If any person is aggrieved by an act or decision of the liquidator, that person may apply to the court; and the court may confirm, reverse or modify the act or decision complained of, and make such order in the case as it thinks just.5AWhere at any time after a winding-up petition has been presented to the court against any person (including an insolvent partnership or other body which may be wound up under Part V of the Act as an unregistered company), whether by virtue of the provisions of the Insolvent Partnerships Order 1994 or not, the attention of the court is drawn to the fact that the person in question is a member of an insolvent partnership, the court may make an order as to the future conduct of the insolvency proceedings and any such order may apply any provisions of that Order with any necessary modifications.5BAny order or directions under subsection (5A) may be made or given on the application of the official receiver, any responsible insolvency practitioner, the trustee of the partnership or any other interested person and may include provisions as to the administration of the joint estate of the partnership, and in particular how it and the separate estate of any member are to be administered.5CWhere the court makes an order for the winding up of an insolvent partnership under—asection 72(1)(a) of the Financial Services Act 1986;bsection 92(1)(a) of the Banking Act 1987; orcsection 367(3)(a) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000,the court may make an order as to the future conduct of the winding up proceedings, and any such order may apply any provisions of the Insolvent Partnerships Order 1994 with any necessary modifications.1691. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2In a winding up by the court in Scotland, the liquidator has (subject to the rules) the same powers as a trustee on a bankrupt estate.1701If a liquidator who has made any default—ain filing, delivering or making any return, account or other document, orbin giving any notice which he is by law required to file, deliver, make or give,fails to make good the default within 14 days after the service on him of a notice requiring him to do so, the court has the following powers.2On an application made by any creditor or contributory of the company, or by the registrar of companies, the court may make an order directing the liquidator to make good the default within such time as may be specified in the order.3The court’s order may provide that all costs of and incidental to the application shall be borne by the liquidator.4Nothing in this section prejudices the operation of any enactment imposing penalties on a liquidator in respect of any such default as is mentioned above.1711This section applies with respect to the removal from office and vacation of office of the liquidator of a company which is being wound up voluntarily.2Subject to the next subsection, the liquidator may be removed from office only by an order of the court or—ain the case of a members’ voluntary winding up, by a general meeting of the company summoned specially for that puropose, orbin the case of a creditors’ voluntary winding up, by a decision of the company's creditors made by a qualifying decision procedure instigated specially for that purpose in accordance with the rules.3Where the liquidator in a members' voluntary winding up was appointed by the court under section 108, a meeting such as is mentioned in subsection (2)(a) shall be summoned only if—athe liquidator thinks fit,bthe court so directs, orcthe meeting is requested in accordance with the rules by members representing not less than one-half of the total voting rights of all the members having at the date of the request a right to vote at the meeting.3AWhere the liquidator in a creditors' voluntary winding up was appointed by the court under section 108, a qualifying decision procedure such as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b) is to be instigated only if—athe liquidator thinks fit,bthe court so directs, orcit is requested in accordance with the rules by not less than one-half in value of the company's creditors.4A liquidator shall vacate office if he ceases to be a person who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company.5A liquidator may, in the prescribed circumstances, resign his office by giving notice of his resignation to the registrar of companies.6In the case of a members' voluntary winding up where the liquidator has produced an account of the winding up under section 94 (final account), the liquidator vacates office as soon as the liquidator has complied with section 94(3) (requirement to send final account to registrar).7In the case of a creditors' voluntary winding up where the liquidator has produced an account of the winding up under section 106 (final account), the liquidator vacates office as soon as the liquidator has complied with section 106(3) (requirement to send final account etc. to registrar).1721This section applies with respect to the removal from office and vacation of office of the liquidator of a company which is being wound up by the court, or of a provisional liquidator.2Subject as follows, the liquidator may be removed from office only by an order of the court or by a decision of the company's creditors made by a qualifying decision procedure instigated specially for that purpose in accordance with the rules; and a provisional liquidator may be removed from office only by an order of the court.3Where—athe official receiver is liquidator otherwise than in succession under section 136(3) to a person who held office as a result of a nomination by ... the company’s creditors or contributories, orbthe liquidator was appointed by the court otherwise than under section 139(4)(a) or 140(1), or was appointed by the Secretary of State,a qualifying decision procedure such as is mentioned in subsection (2) shall be instigated only if the liquidator thinks fit, the court so directs, or it is requested, in accordance with the rules, by not less than one-quarter, in value, of the creditors.4If appointed by the Secretary of State, the liquidator may be removed from office by a direction of the Secretary of State.5A liquidator or provisional liquidator, not being the official receiver, shall vacate office if he ceases to be a person who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company.6A liquidator may, in the prescribed circumstances, resign his office by giving notice of his resignation to the court.7Where an order is made under section 204 (early dissolution in Scotland) for the dissolution of the company, the liquidator shall vacate office when the dissolution of the company takes effect in accordance with that section.8Where the liquidator has produced an account of the winding up under section 146 (final account), the liquidator vacates office as soon as the liquidator has complied with section 146(4) (requirement to send account etc. to registrar and to court).9Subsection (10) applies where, immediately before a liquidator gives notice to the court and the registrar under subsection (8) (or, where the liquidator gives notice to the court and the registrar on different days, immediately before the liquidator gives the first of those notices), there are EU insolvency proceedings open in respect of the company in one or more other member States.10The liquidator must send to the court and the registrar, with the notice, a statement—aidentifying those proceedings,bidentifying the member State liquidator appointed in each of those proceedings, andcindicating, in relation to each of those member State liquidators, whether that member State liquidator consents to the company being dissolved.1731This section applies with respect to the release of the liquidator of a company which is being wound up voluntarily.2A person who has ceased to be a liquidator shall have his release with effect from the following time, that is to say—ain the following cases, the time at which notice is given to the registrar of companies in accordance with the rules that the person has ceased to hold office—ithe person has been removed from office by a general meeting of the company,iithe person has been removed from office by a decision of the company's creditors and the company's creditors have not decided against his release,iiithe person has died;bin the following cases, such time as the Secretary of State may, on the application of the person, determine—ithe person has been removed from office by a decision of the company's creditors and the company's creditors have decided against his release,iithe person has been removed from office by the court,iiithe person has vacated office under section 171(4);cin the case of a person who has resigned, such time as may be prescribed;din the case of a person who has vacated office under subsection (6) of section 171, the time at which he vacated office;ein the case of a person who has vacated office under section 171(7)—iif any of the company's creditors objected to the person's release before the end of the period for so objecting prescribed by the rules, such time as the Secretary of State may, on an application by that person, determine, andiiotherwise, the time at which the person vacated office.2AWhere the person is removed from office by a decision of the company's creditors, any decision of the company's creditors as to whether the person should have his release must be made by a qualifying decision procedure.3In the application of subsection (2) to the winding up of a company registered in Scotland, the references to a determination by the Secretary of State as to the time from which a person who has ceased to be liquidator shall have his release are to be read as references to such a determination by the Accountant of Court.4Where a liquidator has his release under subsection (2), he is, with effect from the time specified in that subsection, discharged from all liability both in respect of acts or omissions of his in the winding up and otherwise in relation to his conduct as liquidator.But nothing in this section prevents the exercise, in relation to a person who has had his release under subsection (2), of the court’s powers under section 212 of this Act (summary remedy against delinquent directors, liquidators, etc.).1741This section applies with respect to the release of the liquidator of a company which is being wound up by the court, or of a provisional liquidator.2Where the official receiver has ceased to be liquidator and a person becomes liquidator in his stead, the official receiver has his release with effect from the following time, that is to say—ain a case where that person was nominated by the company's creditors or contributories, or was appointed by the Secretary of State, the time at which the official receiver gives notice to the court that he has been replaced;bin a case where that person is appointed by the court, such time as the court may determine.3If the official receiver while he is a liquidator gives notice to the Secretary of State that the winding up is for practical purposes complete, he has his release with effect from such time as the Secretary of State may determine.4A person other than the official receiver who has ceased to be a liquidator has his release with effect from the following time, that is to say—ain the following cases, the time at which notice is given to the court in accordance with the rules that the person has ceased to hold office—ithe person has been removed from office by a decision of the company's creditors and the company's creditors have not decided against his release,iithe person has died;bin the following cases, such time as the Secretary of State may, on the application of the person, determine—ithe person has been removed from office by a decision of the company's creditors and the company's creditors have decided against his release;iithe person has been removed from office by the court or the Secretary of State;iiithe person has vacated office under section 172(5) or (7);cin the case of a person who has resigned, such time as may be prescribed;din the case of a person who has vacated office under section 172(8)—iif any of the company's creditors objected to the person's release before the end of the period for so objecting prescribed by the rules, such time as the Secretary of State may, on an application by that person, determine, andiiotherwise, the time at which the person vacated office.4ZAWhere the person is removed from office by a decision of the company's creditors, any decision of the company's creditors as to whether the person should have his release must be made by a qualifying decision procedure.4AWhere a winding-up order made by the court in England and Wales is rescinded, the person (whether the official receiver or another person) who is the liquidator of the company at the time the order is rescinded has his release with effect from such time as the court may determine.5A person who has ceased to hold office as a provisional liquidator has his release with effect from such time as the court may, on an application by him, determine.6Where the official receiver or a liquidator or provisional liquidator has his release under this section, he is, with effect from the time specified in the preceding provisions of this section, discharged from all liability both in respect of acts or omissions of his in the winding up and otherwise in relation to his conduct as liquidator or provisional liquidator.But nothing in this section prevents the exercise, in relation to a person who has had his release under this section, of the court’s powers under section 212 (summary remedy against delinquent directors, liquidators, etc.).7In the application of this section to a case where the order for winding up has been made by the court in Scotland, the references to a determination by the Secretary of State as to the time from which a person who has ceased to be liquidator has his release are to such a determination by the Accountant of Court.Chapter VIII174A1This section applies where proceedings for the winding up of a company are begun before the end of the period of 12 weeks beginning with the day after the end of any moratorium for the company under Part A1.2In the winding up, the following are payable out of the company’s assets (in the order of priority shown) in preference to all other claims—aany prescribed fees or expenses of the official receiver acting in any capacity in relation to the company;bmoratorium debts and priority pre-moratorium debts.3In subsection (2)(b) “priority pre-moratorium debt” means—aany pre-moratorium debt that is payable in respect of—ithe monitor’s remuneration or expenses,iigoods or services supplied during the moratorium,iiirent in respect of a period during the moratorium, orivwages or salary arising under a contract of employment, so far as relating to a period of employment before or during the moratorium,bany pre-moratorium debt that—iconsists of a liability to make a redundancy payment, andiifell due before or during the moratorium, andcany pre-moratorium debt that—iarises under a contract or other instrument involving financial services,iifell due before or during the moratorium, andiiiis not relevant accelerated debt (see subsection (4)).4For the purposes of subsection (3)(c)—“relevant accelerated debt” means any pre-moratorium debt that fell due during the relevant period by reason of the operation of, or the exercise of rights under, an acceleration or early termination clause in a contract or other instrument involving financial services;“the relevant period” means the period—beginning with the day on which the statement under section A6(1)(e) is made, andending with the last day of the moratorium.5The rules may make provision as to the order in which the debts mentioned in subsection (2)(b) rank among themselves in a case where the assets of the company are insufficient to meet them in full.6The Secretary of State may by regulations made by statutory instrument amend this section for the purposes of changing the definition of “moratorium debt” or “priority pre-moratorium debt” in this section.7Regulations under subsection (6) may make consequential, supplementary, incidental or transitional provision or savings.8A statutory instrument containing regulations under subsection (6) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.9For the purposes of this section proceedings for the winding up of a company are begun when—aa winding-up petition is presented, orba resolution for voluntary winding up is passed.10Any rules made under section A18(4) (meaning of supply of goods or services) apply also for the purposes of subsection (3)(a)(ii) of this section.11In this section—“acceleration or early termination clause”, in relation to a contract or other instrument involving financial services, means a provision of the contract or other instrument—under which, on the happening of an event—a debt or other liability falls due earlier than it otherwise would, ora debt or other liability is terminated and replaced by another debt or liability, orwhich confers on a party a right which, if exercised, will result in —a debt or other liability falling due earlier than it otherwise would, ora debt or other liability being terminated and replaced by another debt or liability;“contract or other instrument involving financial services” has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of section A18 (see Schedule ZA2);“monitor’s remuneration or expenses” has the meaning given by section A18;“moratorium debt” has the meaning given by section A53;“pre-moratorium debt” has the meaning given by section A53;“redundancy payment” has the meaning given by section A18;“wages or salary” has the meaning given by section A18.1751In a winding up the company’s preferential debts ... shall be paid in priority to all other debts after the payment of—aany liabilities to which section 174A applies, andbexpenses of the winding up.1AOrdinary preferential debts rank equally among themselves ... and shall be paid in full, unless the assets are insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions.1BSecondary preferential debts rank equally among themselves after the ordinary preferential debts and shall be paid in full, unless the assets are insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions.2Preferential debts—a. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .bso far as the assets of the company available for payment of general creditors are insufficient to meet them, have priority over the claims of holders of debentures secured by, or holders of, any floating charge created by the company, and shall be paid accordingly out of any property comprised in or subject to that charge.3In this section “preferential debts”, “ordinary preferential debts” and “secondary preferential debts” each has the meaning given in section 386 in Part 12.1761This section applies where a company is being wound up by the court in England and Wales, and is without prejudice to section 128 (avoidance of attachments, etc.).2Subsection (2A) applies where—aany person (whether or not a landlord or person entitled to rent) has distrained upon the goods or effects of the company, orbHer Majesty's Revenue and Customs has been paid any amount from an account of the company under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction from accounts),in the period of 3 months ending with the date of the winding-up order.2AWhere this subsection applies—ain a case within subsection (2)(a), the goods or effects, or the proceeds of their sale, andbin a case within subsection (2)(b), the amount in question,is charged for the benefit of the company with the preferential debts of the company to the extent that the company's property is for the time being insufficient for meeting those debts.3Where by virtue of a charge under subsection (2A) any person surrenders any goods or effects to a company or makes a payment to a company, that person ranks, in respect of the amount of the proceeds of sale of those goods or effects by the liquidator or (as the case may be) the amount of the payment, as a preferential creditor of the company, except as against so much of the company’s property as is available for the payment of preferential creditors by virtue of the surrender or payment.176AZA1This section applies in the winding up of a company which is a relevant financial institution.2The company’s ordinary non-preferential debts shall be paid in priority to its secondary non-preferential debts.3The company’s secondary non-preferential debts—ashall be paid in priority to its tertiary non-preferential debts, andbrank equally among themselves after the ordinary non-preferential debts and shall be paid in full, unless the assets are insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions.4See section 387A for definitions relevant to this section.176ZA1The expenses of winding up in England and Wales, so far as the assets of the company available for payment of general creditors are insufficient to meet them, have priority over any claims to property comprised in or subject to any floating charge created by the company and shall be paid out of any such property accordingly.2In subsection (1)—athe reference to assets of the company available for payment of general creditors does not include any amount made available under section 176A(2)(a);bthe reference to claims to property comprised in or subject to a floating charge is to the claims of—ithe holders of debentures secured by, or holders of, the floating charge, andiiany preferential creditors entitled to be paid out of that property in priority to them.3Provision may be made by rules restricting the application of subsection (1), in such circumstances as may be prescribed, to expenses authorised or approved—aby the holders of debentures secured by, or holders of, the floating charge and by any preferential creditors entitled to be paid in priority to them, orbby the court.4References in this section to the expenses of the winding up are to all expenses properly incurred in the winding up, including the remuneration of the liquidator.176ZB1This section applies where—athere is a floating charge (whether created before or after the coming into force of this section) which relates to property of a company which—iis in administration, oriihas gone into liquidation; andbthe administrator or the liquidator (referred to in this section as “the office-holder”) has—ibrought a claim under any provision mentioned in subsection (3), oriimade an assignment (or, in Scotland, assignation) in relation to a right of action under any such provision under section 246ZD.2The proceeds of the claim or assignment (or, in Scotland, assignation) are not to be treated as part of the company's net property, that is to say the amount of its property which would be available for satisfaction of claims of holders of debentures secured by, or holders of, any floating charge created by the company.3The provisions are—asection 213 or 246ZA (fraudulent trading);bsection 214 or 246ZB (wrongful trading);csection 238 (transactions at an undervalue (England and Wales));dsection 239 (preferences (England and Wales));esection 242 (gratuitous alienations (Scotland));fsection 243 (unfair preferences (Scotland));gsection 244 (extortionate credit transactions).4Subsection (2) does not apply to a company if or in so far as it is disapplied by—aa voluntary arrangement in respect of the company, orba compromise or arrangement agreed under Part 26 or 26A of the Companies Act 2006 (arrangements and reconstructions).176A1This section applies where a floating charge relates to property of a company—awhich has gone into liquidation,bwhich is in administration,cof which there is a provisional liquidator, ordof which there is a receiver.2The liquidator, administrator or receiver—ashall make a prescribed part of the company’s net property available for the satisfaction of unsecured debts, andbshall not distribute that part to the proprietor of a floating charge except in so far as it exceeds the amount required for the satisfaction of unsecured debts.3Subsection (2) shall not apply to a company if—athe company’s net property is less than the prescribed minimum, andbthe liquidator, administrator or receiver thinks that the cost of making a distribution to unsecured creditors would be disproportionate to the benefits.4Subsection (2) shall also not apply to a company if or in so far as it is disapplied by—aa voluntary arrangement in respect of the company, orba compromise or arrangement agreed under Part 26 or 26A of the Companies Act 2006 (arrangements and reconstructions).5Subsection (2) shall also not apply to a company if—athe liquidator, administrator or receiver applies to the court for an order under this subsection on the ground that the cost of making a distribution to unsecured creditors would be disproportionate to the benefits, andbthe court orders that subsection (2) shall not apply.6In subsections (2) and (3) a company’s net property is the amount of its property which would, but for this section, be available for satisfaction of claims of holders of debentures secured by, or holders of, any floating charge created by the company.7An order under subsection (2) prescribing part of a company’s net property may, in particular, provide for its calculation—aas a percentage of the company’s net property, orbas an aggregate of different percentages of different parts of the company’s net property.8An order under this section—amust be made by statutory instrument, andbshall be subject to annulment pursuant to a resolution of either House of Parliament.9In this section—“floating charge” means a charge which is a floating charge on its creation and which is created after the first order under subsection (2)(a) comes into force, and“prescribed” means prescribed by order by the Secretary of State.10An order under this section may include transitional or incidental provision.1771Where a company has gone into liquidation or a provisional liquidator has been appointed, the court may, on an application under this section, appoint any person to be the special manager of the business or property of the company.2The application may be made by the liquidator or provisional liquidator in any case where it appears to him that the nature of the business or property of the company, or the interests of the company’s creditors or contributories or members generally, require the appointment of another to manage the company’s business or property.3The special manager has such powers as may be entrusted to him by the court.4The court’s power to entrust powers to the special manager includes power to direct that any provision of this Act that has effect in relation to the provisional liquidator or liquidator of a company shall have the like effect in relation to the special manager for the purposes of the carrying out by him of any of the functions of the provisional liquidator or liquidator.5The special manager shall—agive such security or, in Scotland, caution, as may be prescribed;bprepare and keep such accounts as may be prescribed; andcproduce those accounts in accordance with the rules to the Secretary of State or to such other persons as may be prescribed.1781This and the next two sections apply to a company that is being wound up in England and Wales.2Subject as follows, the liquidator may, by the giving of the prescribed notice, disclaim any onerous property and may do so notwithstanding that he has taken possession of it, endeavoured to sell it, or otherwise exercised rights of ownership in relation to it.3The following is onerous property for the purposes of this section—aany unprofitable contract, andbany other property of the company which is unsaleable or not readily saleable or is such that it may give rise to a liability to pay money or perform any other onerous act.4A disclaimer under this section—aoperates so as to determine, as from the date of the disclaimer, the rights, interests and liabilities of the company in or in respect of the property disclaimed; butbdoes not, except so far as is necessary for the purpose of releasing the company from any liability, affect the rights or liabilities of any other person.5A notice of disclaimer shall not be given under this section in respect of any property if—aa person interested in the property has applied in writing to the liquidator or one of his predecessors as liquidator requiring the liquidator or that predecessor to decide whether he will disclaim or not, andbthe period of 28 days beginning with the day on which that application was made, or such longer period as the court may allow, has expired without a notice of disclaimer having been given under this section in respect of that property.6Any person sustaining loss or damage in consequence of the operation of a disclaimer under this section is deemed a creditor of the company to the extent of the loss or damage and accordingly may prove for the loss or damage in the winding up.1791The disclaimer under section 178 of any property of a leasehold nature does not take effect unless a copy of the disclaimer has been served (so far as the liquidator is aware of their addresses) on every person claiming under the company as underlessee or mortgagee and either—ano application under section 181 below is made with respect to that property before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the last notice served under this subsection was served; orbwhere such an application has been made, the court directs that the disclaimer shall take effect.2Where the court gives a direction under subsection (1)(b) it may also, instead of or in addition to any order it makes under section 181, make such orders with respect to fixtures, tenant’s improvements and other matters arising out of the lease as it thinks fit.1801The following applies where, in consequence of the disclaimer under section 178 of any land subject to a rentcharge, that land vests by operation of law in the Crown or any other person (referred to in the next subsection as “the proprietor”).2The proprietor and the successors in title of the proprietor are not subject to any personal liability in respect of any sums becoming due under the rentcharge except sums becoming due after the proprietor, or some person claiming under or through the proprietor, has taken possession or control of the land or has entered into occupation of it.1811This section and the next apply where the liquidator has disclaimed property under section 178.2An application under this section may be made to the court by—aany person who claims an interest in the disclaimed property, orbany person who is under any liability in respect of the disclaimed property, not being a liability discharged by the disclaimer.3Subject as follows, the court may on the application make an order, on such terms as it thinks fit, for the vesting of the disclaimed property in, or for its delivery to—aa person entitled to it or a trustee for such a person, orba person subject to such a liability as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b) or a trustee for such a person.4The court shall not make an order under subsection (3)(b) except where it appears to the court that it would be just to do so for the purpose of compensating the person subject to the liability in respect of the disclaimer.5The effect of any order under this section shall be taken into account in assessing for the purpose of section 178(6) the extent of any loss or damage sustained by any person in consequence of the disclaimer.6An order under this section vesting property in any person need not be completed by conveyance, assignment or transfer.1821The court shall not make an order under section 181 vesting property of a leasehold nature in any person claiming under the company as underlessee or mortgagee except on terms making that person—asubject to the same liabilities and obligations as the company was subject to under the lease at the commencement of the winding up, orbif the court thinks fit, subject to the same liabilities and obligations as that person would be subject to if the lease had been assigned to him at the commencement of the winding up.2For the purposes of an order under section 181 relating to only part of any property comprised in a lease, the requirements of subsection (1) apply as if the lease comprised only the property to which the order relates.3Where subsection (1) applies and no person claiming under the company as underlessee or mortgagee is willing to accept an order under section 181 on the terms required by virtue of that subsection, the court may, by order under that section, vest the company’s estate or interest in the property in any person who is liable (whether personally or in a representative capacity, and whether alone or jointly with the company) to perform the lessee’s covenants in the lease.The court may vest that estate and interest in such a person freed and discharged from all estates, incumbrances and interests created by the company.4Where subsection (1) applies and a person claiming under the company as underlessee or mortgagee declines to accept an order under section 181, that person is excluded from all interest in the property.1831Where a creditor has issued execution against the goods or land of a company or has attached any debt due to it, and the company is subsequently wound up, he is not entitled to retain the beneift of the execution or attachment against the liquidator unless he has completed the execution or attachment before the commencement of the winding up.2However—aif a creditor has had notice of a meeting having been called at which a resolution for voluntary winding up is to be proposed, the date on which he had notice is substituted, for the purpose of subsection (1), for the date of commencement of the winding up;ba person who purchases in good faith under a sale by the enforcement officer or other officer charged with the execution of the writ any goods of a company on which execution has been levied in all cases acquires a good title to them against the liquidator; andcthe rights conferred by subsection (1) on the liquidator may be set aside by the court in favour of the creditor to such extent and subject to such terms as the court thinks fit.3For purposes of this Act—aan execution against goods is completed by seizure and sale, or by making of a charging order under section 1 of the Charging Orders Act 1979;ban attachment of a debt is completed by receipt of the debt; andcan execution against land is completed by seizure, by the appointment of a receiver, or by the making of a charging order under section 1 of the Act above-mentioned.4In this section “goods” includes all chattels personal; and “enforcement officer” means an individual who is authorised to act as an enforcement officer under the Courts Act2003.4AFor the purposes of this section, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs is to be regarded as having attached a debt due to a company if it has taken action under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction for accounts) as a result of which an amount standing to the credit of an account held by the company is—asubject to arrangements made under paragraph 6(3) of that Schedule, orbthe subject of a deduction notice under paragraph 13 of that Schedule.5This section does not apply in the case of a winding up in Scotland.1841The following applies where a company’s goods are taken in execution and, before their sale or the completion of the execution (by the receipt or recovery of the full amount of the levy), notice is served on the enforcement officer, or other officer, charged with execution of the writ or other process, that a provisional liquidator has been appointed or that a winding-up order has been made, or that a resolution for voluntary winding up has been passed.2The enforcement officer or other officer shall, on being so required, deliver the goods and any money seized or received in part satisfaction of the execution to the liquidator; but the costs of execution are a first charge on the goods or money so delivered, and the liquidator may sell the goods, or a sufficient part of them for the purpose of satisfying the charge.3If under an execution in respect of a judgement for a sum exceeding £500 a company’s goods are sold or money is paid in order to avoid sale, the enforcement officer or other officer shall deduct the costs of the execution from the proceeds of sale or the money paid and retain the balance for 14 days.4If within that time notice is served on the enforcement officer or other officer of a petition for the winding up of the company having been presented, or of a meeting having been called at which there is to be proposed a resolution for voluntary winding up, and an order is made or a resolution passed (as the case may be), the enforcement officer or other officer shall pay the balance to the liquidator, who is entitled to retain it as against the execution creditor.5The rights conferred by this section on the liquidator may be set aside by the court in favour of the creditor to such extent and subject to such terms as the court thinks fit.6In this section, “goods” includes all chattels personal; and “enforcement officer” means an individual who is authorised to act as an enforcement officer under the Courts Act 2003. 7The money sum for the time being specified in subsection (3) is subject to increase or reduction by order under section 416 in Part XV.8This section does not apply in the case of a winding up in Scotland.1851In the winding up of a company registered in Scotland, the following provisions of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016—asubsections (3) to (10) of section 23A (effect of sequestration on land attachment) and section 24 (effect of sequestration on diligence generally); andbsubsections (6), (7), (10) and (11) of section 109 (management and realisation of estate),apply so far as consistent with this Act, in like manner as they apply in the sequestration of a debtor’s estate, with the substitutions specified below and with any other necessary modifications.2The substitutions to be made in those sections of the Act of 2016 are as follows—afor references to the debtor, substitute references to the company;bfor references to the sequestration, substitute references to the winding up;cfor references to the date of sequestration, substitute references to the commencement of the winding up of the company; anddfor references to the permanent trustee, substitute references to the liquidator.3In this section, “the commencement of the winding up of the company” means, where it is being wound up by the court, the day on which the winding-up order is made.4This section, so far as relating to any estate or effects of the company situated in Scotland, applies in the case of a company registered in England and Wales as in the case of one registered in Scotland.1861The court may, on the application of a person who is, as against the liquidator, entitled to the benefit or subject to the burden of a contract made with the company, make an order rescinding the contract on such terms as to payment by or to either party of damages for the non-performance of the contract, or otherwise as the court thinks just.2Any damages payable under the order to such a person may be proved by him as a debt in the winding up.1871On the winding up of a company (whether by the court or voluntarily), the liquidator may, subject to the following provisions of this section, make any payment which the company has, before the commencement of the winding up, decided to make under section 247 of the Companies Act 2006(power to provide for employees or former employees on cessation or transfer of business).2The liquidator may, after the winding up has commenced, make any such provision as is mentioned in section 247(1) if—athe company's liabilities have been fully satisfied and provision has been made for the expenses of the winding up,bthe exercise of the power has been sanctioned by a resolution of the company, andcany requirements of the company's articles as to the exercise of the power conferred by section 247(1) are complied with.3Any payment which may be made by a company under this section (that is, a payment after the commencement of its winding up) may be made out of the company’s assets which are available to the members on the winding up.4On a winding up by the court, the exercise by the liquidator of his powers under this section is subject to the court’s control, and any creditor or contributory may apply to the court with respect to any exercise or proposed exercise of the power.5Subsections (1) and (2) above have effect notwithstanding anything in any rule of law or in section 107 of this Act (property of company after satisfaction of liabilities to be distributed among members).1881When a company is being wound up, whether by the court or voluntarily—aevery invoice, order for goods or services , business letter or order form (whether in hard copy, electronic or any other form) issued by or on behalf of the company, or a liquidator of the company or a receiver or manager of the company's property, . . . andball the company's websites,must contain a statement that the company is being wound up.2If default is made in complying with this section, the company and any of the following persons who knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits the default, namely, any officer of the company, any liquidator of the company and any receiver or manager, is liable to a fine.1891In a winding up interest is payable in accordance with this section on any debt proved in the winding up, including so much of any such debt as represents interest on the remainder.2Any surplus remaining after the payment of the debts proved in a winding up shall, before being applied for any other purpose, be applied in paying interest on those debts in respect of the periods during which they have been outstanding since the company went into liquidation.3All interest under this section ranks equally, whether or not the debts on which it is payable rank equally.4The rate of interest payable under this section in respect of any debt (“the official rate” for the purposes of any provision of this Act in which that expression is used) is whichever is the greater of—athe rate specified in section 17of the Judgments Act 1838 on the day on which the company went into liquidation, andbthe rate applicable to that debt apart from the winding up.5In the application of this section to Scotland—areferences to a debt proved in a winding up have effect as references to a claim accepted in a winding up, andbthe reference to section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838 has effect as a reference to the rules.1901In the case of a winding up by the court, or of a creditors’ voluntary winding up, the following has effect as regards exemption from duties chargeable under the enactments relating to stamp duties.2If the company is registered in England and Wales, the following documents are exempt from stamp duty—aevery assurance relating solely to freehold or leasehold property, or to any estate, right or interest in, any real or personal property, which forms part of the company’s assets and which, after the execution of the assurance, either at law of in equity, is or remains part of those assets, andbevery writ, order, certificate, or other instrument or writing relating solely to the property of any company which is being wound up as mentioned in subsection (1), or to any proceeding under such a winding up.“Assurance” here includes deed, conveyance, assignment and surrender.3If the company is registered in Scotland, the following documents are exempt from stamp duty—aevery conveyance relating solely to property which forms part of the company’s assets and which, after the execution of the conveyance, is or remains the company’s property for the benefit of its creditors,bany articles of roup of sale, submission and every other instrument and writing whatsoever relating solely to the company’s property, andcevery deed or writing forming part of the proceedings in the winding up.“Conveyance” here includes assignation, instrument, discharge, writing and deed.191Where a company is being wound up, all books and papers of the company and of the liquidators are, as between the contributories of the company, prima facie evidence of the truth of all matters purporting to be recorded in them.1921If the winding up of a company is not concluded within one year after its commencement, the liquidator shall, at such intervals as may be prescribed, until the winding up is concluded, send to the registrar of companies a statement in the prescribed form and containing the prescribed particulars with respect to the proceedings in, and position of, the liquidation.2If a liquidator fails to comply with this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.1931The following applies where a company registered in Scotland has been wound up, and is about to be dissolved.2The liquidator shall lodge in an appropriate bank or institution as defined in section 228(1) of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016 (not being a bank or institution in or of which the liquidator is acting partner, manager, agent or cashier) in the name of the Accountant of Court the whole unclaimed dividends and unapplied or undistributable balances, and the deposit receipts shall be transmitted to the Accountant of Court.3The provisions of section 150 of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016 (so far as consistent with this Act and the Companies Acts) apply with any necessary modifications to sums lodged in a bank or institution under this section as they apply to sums deposited under section 148 of the Act first mentioned.194. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1951The court may—aas to all matters relating to the winding up of a company, have regard to the wishes of the creditors or contributories (as proved to it by any sufficient evidence), andbif it thinks fit, for the purpose of ascertaining those wishes, direct qualifying decision procedures to be instigated or the deemed consent procedure to be used in accordance with any directions given by the court, and appoint a person to report the result to the court.2In the case of creditors, regard shall be had to the value of each creditor’s debt.3In the case of contributories, regard shall be had to the number of votes conferred on each contributory . . . .196In all proceedings under this Part, all courts, judges and persons judicially acting, and all officers, judicial or ministerial, of any court, or employed in enforcing the process of any court shall take judicial notice—aof the signature of any officer of the High Court or of the county court in England and Wales, or of the Court of Session or a sheriff court in Scotland, or of the High Court in Northern Ireland, and alsobof the official seal or stamp of the several offices of the High Court in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, or of the Court of Session, appended to or impressed on any document made, issued or signed under the provisions of this Act or the Companies Acts, or any official copy of such a document.1971When a company is wound up in England and Wales or in Scotland, the court may refer the whole or any part of the examination of witnesses—ato the county court in England and Wales, orbto the sheriff principal for a specified sheriffdom in Scotland, orcto the High Court in Northern Ireland or a specified Northern Ireland County Court,(“specified” meaning specified in the order of the winding-up court).2Any person exercising jurisdiction as a judge of the court to which the reference is made (or, in Scotland, the sheriff principal to whom it is made) shall then, by virtue of this section, be a commissioner for the purpose of taking the evidence of those witnesses.3The judge or sheriff principal has in the matter referred the same power of summoning and examining witnesses, of requiring the production and delivery of documents, of punishing defaults by witnesses, and of allowing costs and expenses to witnesses, as the court which made the winding-up order.These powers are in addition to any which the judge or sheriff principal might lawfully exercise apart from this section.4The examination so taken shall be returned or reported to the court which made the order in such manner as that court requests.5This section extends to Northern Ireland.1981The court may direct the examination in Scotland of any person for the time being in Scotland (whether a contributory of the company or not), in regard to the trade, dealings, affairs or property of any company in course of being wound up, or of any person being a contributory of the company, so far as the company may be interested by reason of his being a contributory.2The order or commission to take the examination shall be directed to the sheriff principal of the sheriffdom in which the person to be examined is residing or happens to be for the time; and the sheriff principal shall summon the person to appear before him at a time and place to be specified in the summons for examination on oath as a witness or as a haver, and to produce any books or papers called for which are in his possession or power.3The sheriff principal may take the examination either orally or on written interrogatories, and shall report the same in writing in the usual form to the court, and shall transmit with the report the books and papers produced, if the originals are required and specified by the order or commission, or otherwise copies or extracts authenticated by the sheriff.4If a person so summoned fails to appear at the time and place specified, or refuses to be examined or to make the production required, the sheriff principal shall proceed against him as a witness or haver duly cited; and failing to appear or refusing to give evidence or make production may be proceeded against by the law of Scotland.5The sheriff principal is entitled to such fees, and the witness is entitled to such allowances, as sheriffs principal when acting as commissioners under appointment from the Court of Session and as witnesses and havers are entitled to in the like cases according to the law and practice of Scotland.6If any objection is stated to the sheriff principal by the witness, either on the ground of his incompetency as a witness, or as to the production required, or on any other ground, the sheriff principal may, if he thinks fit, report the objection to the court, and suspend the examination of the witness until it has been disposed of by the court.199Where a petition or application for leave to proceed with an action or proceeding against a company which is being wound up in Scotland is unopposed and is granted by the court, the costs of the petition or application shall, unless the court otherwise directs, be added to the amount of the petitioner’s or applicant’s claim against the company.2001An affidavit required to be sworn under or for the purposes of this Part may be sworn in the United Kingdom, or elsewhere in Her Majesty’s dominions, before any court, judge or person lawfully authorised to take and receive affidavits, or before any of Her Majesty’s consuls or vice-consuls in any place outside Her dominions.2All courts, judges, justices, commissioners and persons acting judicially shall take judicial notice of the seal or stamp or signature (as the case may be) of any such court, judge, person, consul or vice-consul attached, appended or subscribed to any such affidavit, or to any other document to be used for the purposes of this Part.Chapter IX2011This section applies, in the case of a company wound up voluntarily, where the liquidator has sent to the registrar of companies his final account ... under section 94 (members’ voluntary) or his final account and statement under section 106 (creditors’ voluntary).2The registrar on receiving the account , or the account and statement, ... shall forthwith register it or them; and on the expiration of 3 months from the registration of the account the company is deemed to be dissolved ....2A. . . . . . .

appears to the court to be interested, make an order deferring the date at which the dissolution of the company is to take effect for such time as the court thinks fit. 4It is the duty of the person on whose application an order of the court under this section is made within 7 days after the making of the order to deliver to the registrar a copy of the order for registration; and if that person fails to do so he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.2021This section applies where an order for the winding up of a company has been made by the court in England and Wales.2The official receiver, if—ahe is the liquidator of the company, andbit appears to him—ithat the realisable assets of the company are insufficient to cover the expenses of the winding up, andiithat the affairs of the company do not require any further investigation,may at any time apply to the registrar of companies for the early dissolution of the company.2A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3Before making an application under subsection (2), the official receiver shall give not less than 28 days’ notice of his intention to do so to the company’s creditors , other than opted-out creditors, and contributories and, if there is an administrative receiver of the company, to that receiver.4With the giving of that notice the official receiver ceases (subject to any directions under the next section) to be required to perform any duties imposed on him in relation to the company, its creditors or contributories by virtue of any provision of this Act, apart from a duty to make an application under subsection (2) ....5On the receipt of the official receivers’ application under subsection (2) ... the registrar shall forthwith register it ... and, at the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day of the registration of the application, the company shall be dissolved ....6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 However, the Secretary of State may, on the application of the official receiver or any other person who appears to the Secretary of State to be interested, give directions under section 203 at any time before the end of the period in subsection (5) ....2031Where a notice has been given under section 202(3), the official receiver or any creditor or contributory of the company, or the administrative receiver of the company (if there is one) may apply to the Secretary of State for directions under this section.2The grounds on which that application may be made are—athat the realisable assets of the company are sufficient to cover the expenses of the winding up;bthat the affairs of the company do require further investigation; orcthat for any other reason the early dissolution of the company is inappropriate.3Directions under this section—aare directions making such provision as the Secretary of State thinks fit for enabling the winding up of the company to proceed as if no notice had been given under section 202(3), andbmay, in the case of an application under section 202(8) , include a direction deferring the date at which the dissolution of the company is to take effect for such period as the Secretary of State thinks fit.4An appeal to the court lies from any decision of the Secretary of State on an application for directions under this section.5It is the duty of the person on whose application any directions are given under this section, or in whose favour an appeal with respect to an application for such directions is determined, within 7 days after the giving of the directions or the determination of the appeal, to deliver to the registrar of companies for registration such a copy of the directions or determination as is prescribed.6If a person without reasonable excuse fails to deliver a copy as required by subsection (5), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.2041This section applies where a winding-up order has been made by the court in Scotland.2If after a liquidator has been appointed under section 138 (appointment of liquidator in Scotland) it appears to the liquidator that the realisable assets of the company are insufficient to cover the expenses of the winding up, he may apply the liquidator may at any time apply to the court for an order that the company be dissolved.3Where the liquidator makes that application, if the court is satisfied that the realisable assets of the company are insufficient to cover the expenses of the winding up and it appears to the court appropriate to do so, the court shall make an order that the company be dissolved in accordance with this section.4A copy of the order shall within 14 days from its date be forwarded by the liquidator to the registrar of companies, who shall forthwith register it; and, at the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day of the registration of the order, the company shall be dissolved.4A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4B. . . . . . . . . .

take effect shall be deferred for such period as the court thinks fit.6It is the duty of the person on whose application an order is made under subsection (5), within 7 days after the making of the order, to deliver to the registrar of companies such a copy of the order as is prescribed.7If the liquidator without reasonable excuse fails to comply with the requirements of subsection (4), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.8If a person without reasonable excuse fails to deliver a copy as required by subsection (6), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.2051This section applies where the registrar of companies receives—aa final account and statement sent under section 146(4) (final account); orba notice, from the official receiver that the winding up of a company by the court is complete.2The registrar shall, on receipt of the final account and statement or the notice ..., forthwith register them or it on receipt of the notice and any statement sent under section 172(10), forthwith register it or them; and, subject, as follows, at the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the day of the registration of the final account or notice ..., the company shall be dissolved.2A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2B. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

date at which the dissolution of the company is to take effect for such period as the Secretary of State thinks fit.4An appeal to the court lies from any decision of the Secretary of State on an application for a direction under subsection (3).5Subsection (3) does not apply in a case where the winding-up order was made by the court in Scotland, but in such a case the court may, on an application by any person appearing to the court to have an interest, order that the date at which the dissolution of the company is to take effect shall be deferred for such period as the court thinks fit.6It is the duty of the person—aon whose application a direction is given under subsection (3);bin whose favour an appeal with respect to an application for such a direction is determined; orcon whose application an order is made under subsection (5),within 7 days after the giving of the direction, the determination of the appeal or the making of the order, to deliver to the registrar for registration such a copy of the direction, determination or order as is prescribed.7If a person without reasonable excuse fails to deliver a copy as required by subsection (6), he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.Chapter X2061When a company is ordered to be wound up by the court, or passes a resolution for voluntary winding up, any person, being a past or present officer of the company, is deemed to have committed an offence if, within the 12 months immediately preceding the commencement of the winding up, he has—aconcealed any part of the company’s property to the value of £500 or more, or concealed any debt due to or from the company, orbfraudulently removed any part of the company’s property to the value of £500 or more, orcconcealed, destroyed, mutilated or falsified any book or paper affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs, ordmade any false entry in any book or paper affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs, orefraudulently parted with, altered or made any omission in any document affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs, orfpawned, pledged or disposed of any property of the company which has been obtained on credit and has not been paid for (unless the pawning, pledging or disposal was in the ordinary way of the company’s business).2Such a person is deemed to have committed an offence if within the period above mentioned he has been privy to the doing by others of any of the things mentioned in paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) of subsection (1); and he commits an offence if, at any time after the commencement of the winding up, he does any of the things mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (f) of that subsection, or is privy to the doing by others of any of the things mentioned in paragraphs (c) to (e) of it.3For purposes of this section, “officer” includes a shadow director.4It is a defence—afor a person charged under paragraph (a) or (f) of subsection (1) (or under subsection (2) in respect of the things mentioned in either of those two paragraphs) to prove that he had no intent to defraud, andbfor a person charged under paragraph (c) or (d) of subsection (1) (or under subsection (2) in respect of the things mentioned in either of those two paragraphs) to prove that he had no intent to conceal the state of affairs of the company or to defeat the law.5Where a person pawns, pledges or disposes of any property in circumstances which amount to an offence under subsection (1)(f), every person who takes in pawn or pledge, or otherwise receives, the property knowing it to be pawned, pledged or disposed of in such circumstances, is guilty of an offence.6A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.7The money sums specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (1) are subject to increase or reduction by order under section 416 in Part XV.2071When a company is ordered to be wound up by the court or passes a resolution for voluntary winding up, a person is deemed to have committed an offence if he, being at the time an officer of the company—ahas made or caused to be made any gift or transfer of, or charge on, or has caused or connived at the levying of any execution against, the company’s property, orbhas concealed or removed any part of the company’s property since, or within 2 months before, the date of any unsatisfied judgment or order for the payment of money obtained against the company.2A person is not guilty of an offence under this section—aby reason of conduct constituting an offence under subsection (1)(a) which occurred more than 5 years before the commencement of the winding up, orbif he proves that, at the time of the conduct constituting the offence, he had no intent to defraud the company’s creditors.3A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.2081When a company is being wound up, whether by the court or voluntarily, any person, being a past or present officer of the company, commits an offence if he—adoes not to the best of his knowledge and belief fully and truly discover to the liquidator all the company’s property, and how and to whom and for what consideration and when the company disposed of any part of that property (except such part as has been disposed of in the ordinary way of the company’s business), orbdoes not deliver up to the liquidator (or as he directs) all such part of the company’s property as is in his custody or under his control, and which he is required by law to deliver up, orcdoes not deliver up to the liquidator (or as he directs) all books and papers in his custody or under his control belonging to the company and which he is required by law to deliver up, ordknowing or believing that a false debt has been proved by any person in the winding up, fails to inform the liquidator as soon as practicable, oreafter the commencement of the winding up, prevents the production of any book or paper affecting or relating to the company’s property or affairs.2Such a person commits an offence if after the commencement of the winding up he attempts to account for any part of the company’s property by fictitious losses or expenses; and he is deemed to have committed that offence if he has so attempted in connection with any qualifying decision procedure or deemed consent procedure of the company’s creditors within the 12 months immediately preceding the commencement of the winding up.3For purposes of this section, “officer” includes a shadow director.4It is a defence—afor a person charged under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (1) to prove that he had no intent to defraud, andbfor a person charged under paragraph (e) of that subsection to prove that he had no intent to conceal the state of affairs of the company or to defeat the law.5A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.2091When a company is being wound up, an officer or contributory of the company commits an offence if he destroys, multilates, alters or falsifies any books, papers or securities, or makes or is privy to the making of any false or fraudulent entry in any register, book of account or document belonging to the company with intent to defraud or deceive any person.2A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.2101When a company is being wound up, whether by the court or voluntarily, any person, being a past or present officer of the company, commits an offence if he makes any material omission in any statement relating to the company’s affairs.2When a company has been ordered to be wound up by the court, or has passed a resolution for voluntary winding up, any such person is deemed to have committed that offence if, prior to the winding up, he has made any material omission in any such statement.3For purposes of this section, “officer” includes a shadow director.4It is a defence for a person charged under this section to prove that he had no intent to defraud.5A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.2111When a company is being wound up, whether by the court or voluntarily, any person, being a past or present officer of the company—acommits an offence if he makes any false representation or commits any other fraud for the purpose of obtaining the consent of the company’s creditors or any of them to an agreement with reference to the company’s affairs or to the winding up, andbis deemed to have committed that offence if, prior to the winding up, he has made any false representation, or committed any other fraud, for that purpose.2For purposes of this section, “officer” includes a shadow director.3A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.2121This section applies if in the course of the winding up of a company it appears that a person who—ais or has been an officer of the company,bhas acted as liquidator . . . or administrative receiver of the company, orcnot being a person falling within paragraph (a) or (b), is or has been concerned, or has taken part, in the promotion, formation or management of the company,has misapplied or retained, or become accountable for, any money or other property of the company, or been guilty of any misfeasance or breach of any fiduciary or other duty in relation to the company.2The reference in subsection (1) to any misfeasance or breach of any fiduciary or other duty in relation to the company includes, in the case of a person who has acted as liquidator . . . of the company, any misfeasance or breach of any fiduciary or other duty in connection with the carrying out of his functions as liquidator . . . of the company.3The court may, on the application of the official receiver or the liquidator, or of any creditor or contributory, examine into the conduct of the person falling within subsection (1) and compel him—ato repay, restore or account for the money or property or any part of it, with interest at such rate as the court thinks just, orbto contribute such sum to the company’s assets by way of compensation in respect of the misfeasance or breach of fiduciary or other duty as the court thinks just.4The power to make an application under subsection (3) in relation to a person who has acted as liquidator . . . of the company is not exerciseable, except with the leave of the court, after he has had his release.5The power of a contributory to make an application under subsection (3) is not exercisable except with the leave of the court, but is exercisable notwithstanding that he will not benefit from any order the court may make on the application.2131If in the course of the winding up of a company it appears that any business of the company has been carried on with intent to defraud creditors of the company or creditors of any other person, or for any fraudulent purpose, the following has effect.2The court, on the application of the liquidator may declare that any persons who were knowingly parties to the carrying on of the business in the manner above-mentioned are to be liable to make such contributions (if any) to the company’s assets as the court thinks proper.2141Subject to subsection (3) below, if in the course of the winding up of a company it appears that subsection (2) of this section applies in relation to a person who is or has been a director of the company, the court, on the application of the liquidator, may declare that that person is to be liable to make such contribution (if any) to the company’s assets as the court thinks proper.2This subsection applies in relation to a person if—athe company has gone into insolvent liquidation,bat some time before the commencement of the winding up of the company, that person knew or ought to have concluded that there was no reasonable prospect that the company would avoid going into insolvent liquidation or entering insolvent administration, andcthat person was a director of the company at that time;but the court shall not make a declaration under this section in any case where the time mentioned in paragraph (b) above was before 28th April 1986.3The court shall not make a declaration under this section with respect to any person if it is satisfied that after the condition specified in subsection (2)(b) was first satisfied in relation to him that person took every step with a view to minimising the potential loss to the company’s creditors as (on the assumption that he had knowledge of the matter mentioned in subsection (2)(b)) he ought to have taken.4For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), the facts which a director of a company ought to know or ascertain, the conclusions which he ought to reach and the steps which he ought to take are those which would be known or ascertained, or reached or taken, by a reasonably diligent person having both—athe general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company, andbthe general knowledge, skill and experience that that director has.5The reference in subsection (4) to the functions carried out in relation to a company by a director of the company includes any functions which he does not carry out but which have been entrusted to him.6For the purposes of this section a company goes into insolvent liquidation if it goes into liquidation at a time when its assets are insufficient for the payment of its debts and other liabilities and the expenses of the winding up.6AFor the purposes of this section a company enters insolvent administration if it enters administration at a time when its assets are insufficient for the payment of its debts and other liabilities and the expenses of the administration.7In this section “director” includes a shadow director.8This section is without prejudice to section 213.2151On the hearing of an application under section 213 or 214, the liquidator may himself give evidence or call witnesses.2Where under either section the court makes a declaration, it may give such further directions as it thinks proper for giving effect to the declaration; and in particular, the court may—aprovide for the liability of any person under the declaration to be a charge on any debt or obligation due from the company to him, or on any mortgage or charge or any interest in a mortgage or charge on assets of the company held by or vested in him, or any person on his behalf, or any person claiming as assignee from or through the person liable or any person acting on his behalf, andbfrom time to time make such further order as may be necessary for enforcing any charge imposed under this subsection.3For the purposes of subsection (2), “assignee”—aincludes a person to whom or in whose favour, by the directions of the person made liable, the debt, obligation, mortgage or charge was created, issued or transferred or the interest created, butbdoes not include an assignee for valuable consideration (not including consideration by way of marriage or the formation of a civil partnership) given in good faith and without notice of any of the matters on the ground of which the declaration is made.4Where the court makes a declaration under either section in relation to a person who is a creditor of the company, it may direct that the whole or any part of any debt owed by the company to that person and any interest thereon shall rank in priority after all other debts owed by the company and after any interest on those debts.5Sections 213 and 214 have effect notwithstanding that the person concerned may be criminally liable in respect of matters on the ground of which the declaration under the section is to be made.2161This section applies to a person where a company (“the liquidating company”) has gone into insolvent liquidation on or after the appointed day and he was a director or shadow director of the company at any time in the period of 12 months ending with the day before it went into liquidation.2For the purposes of this section, a name is a prohibited name in relation to such a person if—ait is a name by which the liquidating company was known at any time in that period of 12 months, orbit is a name which is so similar to a name falling within paragraph (a) as to suggest an association with that company.3Except with leave of the court or in such circumstances as may be prescribed, a person to whom this section applies shall not at any time in the period of 5 years beginning with the day on which the liquidating company went into liquidation—abe a director of any other company that is known by a prohibited name, orbin any way, whether directly or indirectly, be concerned or take part in the promotion, formation or management of any such company, orcin any way, whether directly or indirectly, be concerned or take part in the carrying on of a business carried on (otherwise than by a company) under a prohibited name.4If a person acts in contravention of this section, he is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.5In subsection (3) “the court” means any court having jurisdiction to wind up companies; and on an application for leave under that subsection, the Secretary of State or the official receiver may appear and call the attention of the court to any matters which seem to him to be relevant.6References in this section, in relation to any time, to a name by which a company is known are to the name of the company at that time or to any name under which the company carries on business at that time.7For the purposes of this section a company goes into insolvent liquidation if it goes into liquidation at at time when its assets are insufficient for the payment of its debts and other liabilities and the expenses of the winding up.8In this section “company” includes a company which may be wound up under Part V of this Act.2171A person is personally responsible for all the relevant debts of a company if at any time—ain contravention of section 216, he is involved in the management of the company, orbas a person who is involved in the management of the company, he acts or is willing to act on instructions given (without the leave of the court) by a person whom he knows at that time to be in contravention in relation to the company of section 216.2Where a person is personally responsible under this section for the relevant debts of a company, he is jointly and severally liable in respect of those debts with the company and any other person who, whether under this section or otherwise, is so liable.3For the purposes of this section the relevant debts of a company are—ain relation to a person who is personally responsible under paragraph (a) of subsection (1), such debts and other liabilities of the company as are incurred at a time when that person was involved in the management of the company, andbin relation to a person who is personally responsible under paragraph (b) of that subsection, such debts and other liabilities of the company as are incurred at a time when that person was acting or was willing to act on instructions given as mentioned in that paragraph.4For the purposes of this section, a person is involved in the management of a company if he is a director of the company or if he is concerned, whether directly or indirectly, or takes part, in the management of the company.5For the purposes of this section a person who, as a person involved in the management of a company, has at any time acted on instructions given (without the leave of the court) by a person whom he knew at that time to be in contravention in relation to the company of section 216 is presumed, unless the contrary is shown, to have been willing at any time thereafter to act on any instructions given by that person.6In this section “company” includes a company which may be wound up under Part V.2181If it appears to the court in the course of a winding up by the court that any past or present officer, or any member, of the company has been guilty of any offence in relation to the company for which he is criminally liable, the court may (either on the application of a person interested in the winding up or of its own motion) direct the liquidator to refer the matterain the case of a winding up in England and Wales, to the Secretary of State, andbin the case of a winding up in Scotland, to the Lord Advocate2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3If in the case of a winding up by the court in England and Wales it appears to the liquidator, not being the official receiver, that any past or present officer of the company, or any member of it, has been guilty of an offence in relation to the company for which he is criminally liable, the liquidator shall report the matter to the official receiver.4If it appears to the liquidator in the course of a voluntary winding up that any past or present officer of the company, or any member of it, has been guilty of an offence in relation to the company for which he is criminally liable, he shall forthwith report the matter—ain the case of a winding up in England and Wales, to the Secretary of State, andbin the case of a winding up in Scotland, to the Lord Advocate,and shall furnish to the Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Lord Advocate such information and give to him such access to and facilities for inspecting and taking copies of documents (being information or documents in the possession or under the control of the liquidator and relating to the matter in question) as the Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Lord Advocate requires.5Where a report is made to the Secretary of State under subsection (4) he may, for the purpose of investigating the matter reported to him and such other matters relating to the affairs of the company as appear to him to require investigation, exercise any of the powers which are exercisable by inspectors appointed under section 431 or 432 of the the Companies Act 1985 to investigate a company’s affairs.6If it appears to the court in the course of a voluntary winding up that—aany past or present officer of the company, or any member of it, has been guilty as above-mentioned, andbno report with respect to the matter has been made by the liquidator . . . under subsection (4),the court may (on the application of any person interested in the winding up or of its own motion) direct the liquidator to make such a report.On a report being made accordingly, this section has effect as though the report had been made in pursuance of subsection (4).2191For the purpose of an investigation by the Secretary of State in consequence of a report made to him under section 218(4), any obligation imposed on a person by any provision of the Companies Act 1985 to produce documents or give information to, or otherwise to assist, inspectors appointed as mentioned in section 218(5) is to be regarded as an obligation similarly to assist the Secretary of State in his investigation.2An answer given by a person to a question put to him in exercise of the powers conferred by section 218(5) may be used in evidence against him.2AHowever, in criminal proceedings in which that person is charged with an offence to which this subsection applies—ano evidence relating to the answer may be adduced, andbno question relating to it may be asked,by or on behalf of the prosecution, unless evidence relating to it is adduced, or a question relating to it is asked, in the proceedings by or on behalf of that person.2BSubsection (2A) applies to any offence other than—aan offence under section 2 or 5 of the Perjury Act 1911 (false statements made on oath otherwise than in judicial proceedings or made otherwise than on oath), orban offence under section 44(1) or (2) of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (false statements made on oath or otherwise than on oath).3Where criminal proceedings are instituted by the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate or the Secretary of State following any report or reference under section 218, it is the duty of the liquidator and every officer and agent of the company past and present (other than the defendant or defender) to give to the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate or the Secretary of State (as the case may be) all assistance in connection with the prosecution which he is reasonably able to give.For this purpose “agent” includes any banker or solicitor of the company and any person employed by the company as auditor, whether that person is or is not an officer of the company.4If a person fails or neglects to give assistance in the manner required by subsection (3), the court may, on the application of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate or the Secretary of State (as the case may be) direct the person to comply with that subsection; and if the application is made with respect to a liquidator, the court may (unless it appears that the failure or neglect to comply was due to the liquidator not having in his hands sufficient assets of the company to enable him to do so) direct that the costs shall be borne by the liquidator personally. Part V220For the purposes of this Part “unregistered company” includes any association and any company, with the exception of a company registered under the Companies Act 2006 in any part of the United Kingdom.2211Subject to the provisions of this Part, any unregistered company may be wound up under this Act; and all the provisions of this Act . . . about winding up apply to an unregistered company with the exceptions and additions mentioned in the following subsections.2If an unregistered company has a principal place of business situated in Northern Ireland, it shall not be wound up under this Part unless it has a principal place of business situated in England and Wales or Scotland, or in both England and Wales and Scotland.3For the purpose of determining a court’s winding-up jurisdiction, an unregistered company is deemed—ato be registered in England and Wales or Scotland, according as its principal place of business is situated in England and Wales or Scotland, orbif it has a principal place of business situated in both countries, to be registered in both countries;and the principal place of business situated in that part of Great Britain in which proceedings are being instituted is, for all purposes of the winding up, deemed to be the registered office of the company.4No unregistered company shall be wound up under this Act voluntarily , except in accordance with the EU Regulation .5The circumstances in which an unregistered company may be wound up are as follows—aif the company is dissolved, or has ceased to carry on business, or is carrying on business only for the purpose of winding up its affairs;bif the company is unable to pay its debts;cif the court is of opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up.6A petition for winding up a trustee savings bank may be presented by the Trustee Savings Banks Central Board or by a commissioner appointed under section 35 of the Trustee Savings Banks Act 1981 as well as by any person authorised under Part IV of this Act to present a petition for the winding up of a company.On such day as the Treasury appoints by order under section 4(3) of the Trustee Savings Banks Act 1985, this subsection ceases to have effect and is hereby repealed.7In Scotland, an unregistered company which the Court of Session has jurisdiction to wind up may be wound up by the court if there is subsisting a floating charge over property comprised in the company’s property and undertaking, and the court is satisfied that the security of the creditor entitled to the benefit of the floating charge is in jeopardy.For this purpose a creditor’s security is deemed to be in jeopardy if the court is satisfied that events have occurred or are about to occur which render it unreasonable in the creditor’s interests that the company should retain power to dispose of the property which is subject to the floating charge.2221An unregistered company is deemed (for the purposes of section 221) unable to pay its debts if there is a creditor, by assignment or otherwise, to whom the company is indebted in a sum exceeding £750 then due and—athe creditor has served on the company, by leaving at its principal place of business, or by delivering to the secretary or some director, manager or principal officer of the company, or by otherwise serving in such manner as the court may approve or direct, a written demand in the prescribed form requiring the company to pay the sum due, andbthe company has for 3 weeks after the service of the demand neglected to pay the sum or to secure or compound for it to the creditor’s satisfaction.2The money sum for the time being specified in subsection (1) is subject to increase or reduction by regulations under section 417 in Part XV; but no increase in the sum so specified affects any case in which the winding-up petition was presented before the coming into force of the increase.223An unregistered company is deemed (for the purposes of section 221) unable to pay its debts if an action or other proceeding has been instituted against any member for any debt or demand due, or claimed to be due, from the company, or from him in his character of member, and—anotice in writing of the institution of the action or proceeding has been served on the company by leaving it at the company’s principal place of business (or by delivering it to the secretary, or some director, manager or principal officer of the company, or by otherwise serving it in such manner as the court may approve or direct), andbthe company has not within 3 weeks after service of the notice paid, secured or compounded for the debt or demand, or procured the action or proceeding to be stayed or sisted, or indemnified the defendant or defender to his reasonable satisfaction against the action or proceeding, and against all costs, damages and expenses to be incurred by him because of it.2241An unregistered company is deemed (for purposes of section 221) unable to pay its debts—aif in England and Wales execution or other process issued on a judgment, decree or order obtained in any court in favour of a creditor against the company, or any member of it as such, or any person authorised to be sued as nominal defendant on behalf of the company, is returned unsatisfied;bif in Scotland the induciae of a charge for payment on an extract decree, or an extract registered bond, or an extract registered protest, have expired without payment being made;cif in Northern Ireland a certificate of unenforceability has been granted in respect of any judgment, decree or order obtained as mentioned in paragraph (a);dif it is otherwise proved to the satisfaction of the court that the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due.2An unregistered company is also deemed unable to pay its debts if it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that the value of the company’s assets is less than the amount of its liabilities, taking into account its contingent and prospective liabilities.2251 Where a company incorporated outside Great Britain which has been carrying on business in Great Britain ceases to carry on business in Great Britain, it may be wound up as an unregistered company under this Act, notwithstanding that it has been dissolved or otherwise ceased to exist as a company under or by virtue of the laws of the country under which it was incorporated.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2261In the event of an unregistered company being wound up, every person is deemed a contributory who is liable to pay or contribute to the payment of any debt or liability of the company, or to pay or contribute to the payment of any sum for the adjustment of the rights of members among themselves, or to pay or contribute to the payment of the expenses of winding up the company.2Every contributory is liable to contribute to the company’s assets all sums due from him in respect of any such liability as is mentioned above.3In the case of an unregistered company engaged in or formed for working mines within the stannaries, a past member is not liable to contribute to the assets if he has ceased to be a member for 2 years or more either before the mine ceased to be worked or before the date of the winding-up order.4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .227The provisions of this Part with respect to staying, sisting or restraining actions and proceedings against a company at any time after the presentation of a petition for winding up and before the making of a winding-up order extend, in the case of an unregistered company, where the application to stay, sist or restrain is presented by a creditor, to actions and proceedings against any contributory of the company.228Where an order has been made for winding up an unregistered company, no action or proceding shall be proceeded with or commenced against any contributory of the company in respect of any debt of the company, except by leave of the court, and subject to such terms as the court may impose.2291The provisions of this Part with respect to unregistered companies are in addition to and not in restriction of any provisions in Part IV with respect to winding up companies by the court; and the court or liquidator may exercise any powers or do any act in the case of unregistered companies which might be exercised or done by it or him in winding up companies registered under the Companies Act 2006 in England and Wales or Scotland.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

prejudice to any enactment under which the official receiver is to be, or may be, liquidator or provisional liquidator.2311This section applies if an appointment or nomination of any person to the office of . . . administrative receiver, liquidator or provisional liquidator—arelates to more than one person, orbhas the effect that the office is to be held by more than one person.2The appointment or nomination shall declare whether any act required or authorised under any enactment to be done by the . . . administrative receiver, liquidator or provisional liquidator is to be done by all or any one or more of the persons for the time being holding the office in question.232The acts of an individual as . . . administrative receiver, liquidator or provisional liquidator of a company are valid notwithstanding any defect in his appointment, nomination or qualifications.2331This section applies in the case of a company where—athe company enters administration,ban administrative receiver is appointed, orba. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ca voluntary arrangement approved under Part I, has taken effect, ordthe company goes into liquidation, orea provisional

the case may be.2If a request is made by or with the concurrence of the office-holder for the giving, after the effective date, of any of the supplies mentioned in the next subsection, the supplier—amay make it a condition of the giving of the supply that the office-holder personally guarantees the payment of any charges in respect of the supply, butbshall not make it a condition of the giving of the supply, or do anything which has the effect of making it a condition of the giving of the supply, that any outstanding charges in respect of a supply given to the company before the effective date are paid.3The supplies referred to in subsection (2) are—aa supply of gas by a gas supplier within the meaning of Part I of the Gas Act 1986;aaa supply of gas by a person within

2003).233A1An insolvency-related term of a contract for the supply of essential goods or services to a company ceases to have effect if—athe company enters administration, orba voluntary arrangement approved under Part 1 takes effect in relation to the company.2An insolvency-related term of a contract does not cease to have effect by virtue of subsection (1) to the extent that—ait provides for the contract or the supply to terminate, or any other thing to take place, because the company becomes subject to an insolvency procedure other than administration or a voluntary arrangement;bit entitles a supplier to terminate the contract or the supply, or do any other thing, because the company becomes subject to an insolvency procedure other than administration or a voluntary arrangement; orcit entitles a supplier to terminate the contract or the supply because of an event that occurs, or may occur, after the company enters administration or the voluntary arrangement takes effect.3Where an insolvency-related term of a contract ceases to have effect under this section the supplier may—aterminate the contract, if the condition in subsection (4) is met;bterminate the supply, if the condition in subsection (5) is met.4The condition in this subsection is that—athe insolvency office-holder consents to the termination of the contract,bthe court grants permission for the termination of the contract, orcany charges in respect of the supply that are incurred after the company entered administration or the voluntary arrangement took effect are not paid within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which payment is due.The court may grant permission under paragraph (b) only if satisfied that the continuation of the contract would cause the supplier hardship.5The condition in this subsection is that—athe supplier gives written notice to the insolvency office-holder that the supply will be terminated unless the office-holder personally guarantees the payment of any charges in respect of the continuation of the supply after the company entered administration or the voluntary arrangement took effect, andbthe insolvency office-holder does not give that guarantee within the period of 14 days beginning with the day the notice is received.6For the purposes of securing that the interests of suppliers are protected, where—aan insolvency-related term of a contract (the “original term”) ceases to have effect by virtue of subsection (1), andbthe company subsequently enters administration, or a voluntary arrangement subsequently has effect in relation to it,the contract is treated for the purposes of subsections (1) to (5) as if, immediately before the subsequent administration is entered into or the subsequent voluntary arrangement takes effect, it included an insolvency-related term identical to the original term.7A contract for the supply of essential goods or services is a contract for a supply mentioned in section 233(3).8An insolvency-related term of a contract for the supply of essential goods or services to a company is a provision of the contract under which—athe contract or the supply would terminate, or any other thing would take place, because the company enters administration or the voluntary arrangement takes effect,bthe supplier would be entitled to terminate the contract or the supply, or to do any other thing, because the company enters administration or the voluntary arrangement takes effect, orcthe supplier would be entitled to terminate the contract or the supply because of an event that occurred before the company enters administration or the voluntary arrangement takes effect.9In this section “insolvency office-holder” means—ain a case where a company enters administration, the administrator;bin a case where a voluntary arrangement under Part 1 takes effect in relation to a company, the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement.10Subsection (1) does not have effect in relation to a contract entered into before 1st October 2015.233B1This section applies where a company becomes subject to a relevant insolvency procedure.2A company becomes subject to a relevant insolvency procedure for the purposes of this section where—aa moratorium under Part A1 comes into force for the company,bthe company enters administration,can administrative receiver of the company is appointed (otherwise than in succession to another administrative receiver),da voluntary arrangement approved under Part 1 takes effect in relation to the company,ethe company goes into liquidation,fa provisional liquidator of the company is appointed (otherwise than in succession to another provisional liquidator), orga court order is made under section 901C(1) of the Companies Act 2006 in relation to the company (order summoning meeting relating to compromise or arrangement).3A provision of a contract for the supply of goods or services to the company ceases to have effect when the company becomes subject to the relevant insolvency procedure if and to the extent that, under the provision—athe contract or the supply would terminate, or any other thing would take place, because the company becomes subject to the relevant insolvency procedure, orbthe supplier would be entitled to terminate the contract or the supply, or to do any other thing, because the company becomes subject to the relevant insolvency procedure.4Where—aunder a provision of a contract for the supply of goods or services to the company the supplier is entitled to terminate the contract or the supply because of an event occurring before the start of the insolvency period, andbthe entitlement arises before the start of that period,the entitlement may not be exercised during that period.5Where a provision of a contract ceases to have effect under subsection (3) or an entitlement under a provision of a contract is not exercisable under subsection (4), the supplier may terminate the contract if—ain a case where the company has become subject to a relevant insolvency procedure as specified in subsection (2)(b), (c), (e) or (f), the office-holder consents to the termination of the contract,bin any other case, the company consents to the termination of the contract, orcthe court is satisfied that the continuation of the contract would cause the supplier hardship and grants permission for the termination of the contract.6Where a provision of a contract ceases to have effect under subsection (3) and the company becomes subject to a further relevant insolvency procedure, the supplier may terminate the contract in accordance with subsection (5)(a) to (c).7The supplier shall not make it a condition of any supply of goods and services after the time when the company becomes subject to the relevant insolvency procedure, or do anything which has the effect of making it a condition of such a supply, that any outstanding charges in respect of a supply made to the company before that time are paid.8In this section “the insolvency period”, in relation to a relevant insolvency procedure, means the period beginning when the company becomes subject to the relevant insolvency procedure and ending—ain the case of a moratorium under Part A1, when the moratorium comes to an end,bin the case of the company entering administration, when the appointment of the administrator ceases to have effect under—iparagraphs 76 to 84 of Schedule B1, oriian order under section 901F of the Companies Act 2006,cin the case of the appointment of an administrative receiver of the company, when the receiver or any successor to the receiver ceases to hold office without a successor being appointed,din the case of a voluntary arrangement approved under Part 1 taking effect in relation to the company, when the arrangement ceases to have effect,ein the case of the company going into liquidation, when—ithe liquidator complies with section 94(2), 106(2) or 146(3) (duties relating to final account), oriithe appointment of the liquidator ceases to have effect under an order under section 901F of the Companies Act 2006,fin the case of the appointment of a provisional liquidator for the company, when the provisional liquidator or any successor to the provisional liquidator ceases to hold office without a successor being appointed, andgin the case of the making of a court order under section 901C(1) of the Companies Act 2006 in relation to the company, when—ian order made by the court under section 901F of that Act takes effect, oriithe court decides not to make such an order.9In this section “office-holder”, in relation to a company which has entered into an insolvency procedure as specified in subsection (2)(b), (c), (e) or (f), means the administrator, administrative receiver, liquidator or provisional liquidator respectively.10Schedule 4ZZA provides for exclusions from the operation of this section.233C1The Secretary of State may by regulations omit any of paragraphs (a) to (g) of section 233B(2) (relevant insolvency procedures).2The Secretary of State may by regulations amend Schedule 4ZZA so as to—aremove or amend any exclusion from section 233B for the time being specified there, orbadd further exclusions from section 233B.3In subsection (2), references to exclusions from section 233B are to circumstances in which section 233B, or any provision of that section, does not apply.4The circumstances referred to in subsection (3) may be framed by reference to kinds of company, supplier, contract, goods or services or in any other way.5Regulations under this section may make—adifferent provision for different purposes;bconsequential provision;ctransitional and supplementary provision.6Regulations under this section made by virtue of subsection (5) may in particular make provision amending this Act or any other enactment whenever passed or made (including, if paragraph 1(1) or (2) of Schedule 4ZZA is omitted, provision omitting section 233A or 233 respectively).7Regulations under subsection (1) may not omit section 233B(2)(c) unless the Secretary of State has first consulted the Scottish Ministers.8In this section “enactment” includes an Act of the Scottish Parliament and an instrument made under such an Act.9Regulations under this section are to be made by statutory instrument.10A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.2341This section applies in the case of a company where—athe company enters administration,ban administrative receiver is appointed, orcthe company goes into liquidation, orda provisional liquidator is appointed;and “the office-holder” means the administrator, the administrative receiver, the liquidator or the provisional liquidator, as the case may be.2Where any person has in his possession or control any property, books, papers or records to which the company appears to be entitled, the court may require that person forthwith (or within such period as the court may direct) to pay, deliver, convey, surrender or transfer the property, books, papers or records to the office-holder.3Where the office-holder—aseizes or disposes of any property which is not property of the company, andbat the time of seizure or disposal believes, and has reasonable grounds for believing, that he is entitled (whether in pursuance of an order of the court or otherwise) to seize or dispose of that property,the next subsection has effect.4In that case the office-holder—ais not liable to any person in respect of any loss or damage resulting from the seizure or disposal except in so far as that loss or damage is caused by the office-holder’s own negligence, andbhas a lien on the property, or the proceeds of its sale, for such expenses as were incurred in connection with the seizure or disposal.2351This section applies as does section 234; and it also applies, in the case of a company in respect of which a winding-up order has been made by the court in England and Wales, as if references to the office-holder included the official receiver, whether or not he is the liquidator.2Each of the persons mentioned in the next subsection shall—agive to the office-holder such information concerning the company and its promotion, formation, business, dealings, affairs or property as the office-holder may at any time after the effective date reasonably require, andbattend on the office-holder at such times as the latter may reasonably require.3The persons referred to above are—athose who are or have at any time been officers of the company,bthose who have taken part in the formation of the company at any time within one year before the effective date,cthose who are in the employment of the company, or have been in its employment (including employment under a contract for services) within that year, and are in the office-holder’s opinion capable of giving information which he requires,dthose who are, or have within that year been, officers of, or in the employment (including employment under a contract for services) of, another company which is, or within that year was, an officer of the company in question, andein the case of a company being wound up by the court, any person who has acted as administrator, administrative receiver or liquidator of the company.4For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), “the effective date” is whichever is applicable of the following dates—athe date on which the company entered administration,bthe date on which the administrative receiver was appointed or, if he was appointed in succession to another administrative receiver, the date on which the first of his predecessors was appointed,cthe date on which the provisional liquidator was appointed, anddthe date on which the company went into liquidation.5If a person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed by this section, he is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.2361This section applies as does section 234; and it also applies in the case of a company in respect of which a winding-up order has been made by the court in England and Wales as if references to the office-holder included the official receiver, whether or not he is the liquidator.2The court may, on the application of the office-holder, summon to appear before it—aany officer of the company,bany person known or suspected to have in his possession any property of the company or supposed to be indebted to the company, orcany person whom the court thinks capable of giving information concerning the promotion, formation, business, dealings, affairs or property of the company.3The court may require any such person as is mentioned in subsection (2)(a) to (c) to submit to the court an account of his dealings with the company or to produce any books, papers or other records in his possession or under his control relating to the company or the matters mentioned in paragraph (c) of the subsection.3A An account submitted to the court under subsection (3) must be contained in—aa witness statement verified by a statement of truth (in England and Wales), andban affidavit (in Scotland).4The following applies in a case where—aa person without reasonable excuse fails to appear before the court when he is summoned to do so under this section, orbthere are reasonable grounds for believing that a person has absconded, or is about to abscond, with a view to avoiding his appearance before the court under this section.5The court may, for the purpose of bringing that person and anything in his possession before the court, cause a warrant to be issued to a constable or prescribed officer of the court—afor the arrest of that person, andbfor the seizure of any books, papers, records, money or goods in that person’s possession.6The court may authorise a person arrested under such a warrant to be kept in custody, and anything seized under such a warrant to be held, in accordance with the rules, until that person is brought before the court under the warrant or until such other time as the court may order.2371If it appears to the court, on consideration of any evidence obtained under section 236 or this section, that any person has in his possession any property of the company, the court may, on the application of the office-holder, order that person to deliver the whole or any part of the property to the office-holder at such time, in such manner and on such terms as the court thinks fit.2If it appears to the court, on consideration of any evidence so obtained, that any person is indebted to the company, the court may, on the application of the office-holder, order that person to pay to the office holder,at such time and in such manner as the court may direct, the whole or any part of the amount due, whether in full discharge of the debt or otherwise, as the court thinks fit.the court may, if it thinks fit, order that any person who if within the jurisdiction of the court would be liable to be summoned to appear before it under section 236 or this section shall be examined in any part of the United Kingdom where he may for the time being be, or in a place outside the United Kingdom.4Any person who appears or is brought before the court under section 236 or this section may be examined on oath, either orally or (except in Scotland) by interrogatories, concerning the company or the matters mentioned in section 236(2)(c).2381This section applies in the case of a company where—athe company enters administration,bthe company goes into liquidation;and “the office-holder” means the administrator or the liquidator, as the case may be.2Where the company has at a relevant time (defined in section 240) entered into a transaction with any person at an undervalue, the office-holder may apply to the court for an order under this section.3Subject as follows, the court shall, on such an application, make such order as it thinks fit for restoring the position to what it would have been if the company had not entered into that transaction.4For the purposes of this section and section 241, a company enters into a transaction with a person at an undervalue if—athe company makes a gift to that person or otherwise enters into a transaction with that person on terms that provide for the company to receive no consideration, orbthe company enters into a transaction with that person for a consideration the value of which, in money or money’s worth, is significantly less than the value, in money or money’s worth, of the consideration provided by the company.5The court shall not make an order under this section in respect of a transaction at an undervalue if it is satisfied—athat the company which entered into the transaction did so in good faith and for the purpose of carrying on its business, andbthat at the time it did so there were reasonable grounds for believing that the transaction would benefit the company.2391This section applies as does section 238.2Where the company has at a relevant time (defined in the next section) given a preference to any person, the office-holder may apply to the court for an order under this section.3Subject as follows, the court shall, on such an application, make such order as it thinks fit for restoring the position to what it would have been if the company had not given that preference.4For the purposes of this section and section 241, a company gives a preference to a person if—athat person is one of the company’s creditors or a surety or guarantor for any of the company’s debts or other liabilities, andbthe company does anything or suffers anything to be done which (in either case) has the effect of putting that person into a position which, in the event of the company going into insolvent liquidation, will be better than the position he would have been in if that thing had not been done.5The court shall not make an order under this section in respect of a preference given to any person unless the company which gave the preference was influenced in deciding to give it by a desire to produce in relation to that person the effect mentioned in subsection (4)(b).6A company which has given a preference to a person connected with the company (otherwise than by reason only of being its employee) at the time the preference was given is presumed, unless the contrary is shown, to have been influenced in deciding to give it by such a desire as is mentioned in subsection (5).7The fact that something has been done in pursuance of the order of a court does not, without more, prevent the doing or suffering of that thing from constituting the giving of a preference.2401Subject to the next subsection, the time at which a company enters into a transaction at an undervalue or gives a preference is a relevant time if the transaction is entered into, or the preference given—ain the case of a transaction at an undervalue or of a preference which is given to a person who is connected with the company (otherwise than by reason only of being its employee), at a time in the period of 2 years ending with the onset of insolvency (which expression is defined below),bin the case of a preference which is not such a transaction and is not so given, at a time in the period of 6 months ending with the onset of insolvency,. . . cin either case, at a time between the making of an administration application in respect of the company and the making of an administration order on that application, anddin either case, at a time between the filing with the court of a copy of notice of intention to appoint an administrator under paragraph 14 or 22 of Schedule B1 and the making of an appointment under that paragraph.2Where a company enters into a transaction at an undervalue or gives a preference at a time mentioned in subsection (1)(a) or (b), that time is not a relevant time for the purposes of section 238 or 239 unless the company—ais at that time unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 in Chapter VI of Part IV, orbbecomes unable to pay its debts within the meaning of that section in consequence of the transaction or preference;but the requirements of this subsection are presumed to be satisfied, unless the contrary is shown, in relation to any transaction at an undervalue which is entered into by a company with a person who is connected with the company.3For the purposes of subsection (1), the onset of insolvency is—ain a case where section 238 or 239 applies by reason of an administrator of a company being appointed by administration order, the date on which the administration application is made,bin a case where section 238 or 239 applies by reason of an administrator of a company being appointed under paragraph 14 or 22 of Schedule B1 following filing with the court of a copy of a notice of intention to appoint under that paragraph, the date on which the copy of the notice is filed,cin a case where section 238 or 239 applies by reason of an administrator of a company being appointed otherwise than as mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b), the date on which the appointment takes effect,din a case where section 238 or 239 applies by reason of a company going into liquidation ... at the time when the appointment of an administrator ceases to have effect, the date on which the company entered administration (or, if relevant, the date on which the application for the administration order was made or a copy of the notice of intention to appoint was filed), andein a case where section 238 or 239 applies by reason of a company going into liquidation at any other time, the date of the commencement of the winding up.2411Without prejudice to the generality of sections 238(3) and 239(3), an order under either of those sections with respect to a transaction or preference entered into or given by a company may (subject to the next subsection)—arequire any property transferred as part of the transaction, or in connection with the giving of the preference, to be vested in the company,brequire any property to be so vested if it represents in any person’s hands the application either of the proceeds of sale of property so transferred or of money so transferred,crelease or discharge (in whole or in part) any security given by the company,drequire any person to pay, in respect of benefits received by him from the company, such sums to the office-holder as the court may direct,eprovide for any surety or guarantor whose obligations to any person were released or discharged (in whole or in part) under the transaction, or by the giving of the preference, to be under such new or revived obligations to that person as the court thinks appropriate,fprovide for security to be provided for the discharge of any obligation imposed by or arising under the order, for such an obligation to be charged on any property and for the security or charge to have the same priority as a security or charge released or discharged (in whole or in part) under the transaction or by the giving of the preference, andgprovide for the extent to which any person whose property is vested by the order in the company, or on whom obligations are imposed by the order, is to be able to prove in the winding up of the company for debts or other liabilities which arose from, or were released or discharged (in whole or in part) under or by, the transaction or the giving of the preference.2An order under section 238 or 239 may affect the property of, or impose any obligation on, any person whether or not he is the person with whom the company in question entered into the transaction or (as the case may be) the person to whom the preference was given; but such an order—ashall not prejudice any interest in property which was acquired from a person other than the company and was acquired in good faith and for value, or prejudice any interest deriving from such an interest, andbshall not require a person who received a benefit from the transaction or preference in good faith and for value to pay a sum to the office-holder, except where that person was a party to the transaction or the payment is to be in respect of a preference given to that person at a time when he was a creditor of the company.2AWhere a person has acquired an interest in property from a person other than the company in question, or has received a benefit from the transaction or preference, and at the time of that acquisition or receipt—ahe had notice of the relevant surrounding circumstances and of the relevant proceedings, orbhe was connected with, or was an associate of, either the company in question or the person with whom that company entered into the transaction or to whom that company gave the preference,then, unless the contrary is shown, it shall be presumed for the purposes of paragraph (a) or (as the case may be) paragraph (b) of subsection (2) that the interest was acquired or the benefit was received otherwise than in good faith.3For the purposes of subsection (2A)(a), the relevant surrounding circumstances are (as the case may require)—athe fact that the company in question entered into the transaction at an undervalue; orbthe circumstances which amounted to the giving of the preference by the company in question;and subsections (3A) to (3C) have effect to determine whether, for those purposes, a person has notice of the relevant proceedings.3AWhere section 238 or 239 applies by reason of a company’s entering administration, a person has notice of the relevant proceedings if he has notice that—aan administration application has been made,ban administration order has been made,ca copy of a notice of intention to appoint an administrator under paragraph 14 or 22 of Schedule B1 has been filed, ordnotice of the appointment of an administrator has been filed under paragraph 18 or 29 of that Schedule.3BWhere section 238 or 239 applies by reason of a company’s going into liquidation at the time when the appointment of an administrator of the company ceases to have effect, a person has notice of the relevant proceedings if he has notice that—aan administration application has been made,ban administration order has been made,ca copy of a notice of intention to appoint an administrator under paragraph 14 or 22 of Schedule B1 has been filed,dnotice of the appointment of an administrator has been filed under paragraph 18 or 29 of that Schedule, orethe company has gone into liquidation.3CIn a case where section 238 or 239 applies by reason of the company in question going into liquidation at any other time, a person has notice of the relevant proceedings if he has notice—awhere the company goes into liquidation on the making of a winding-up order, of the fact that the petition on which the winding-up order is made has been presented or of the fact that the company has gone into liquidation;bin any other case, of the fact that the company has gone into liquidation.4The provisions of sections 238 to 241 apply without prejudice to the availability of any other remedy, even in relation to a transaction or preference which the company had no power to enter into or give.2421Where this subsection applies and—athe winding up of a company has commenced, an alienation by the company is challengeable by—iany creditor who is a creditor by virtue of a debt incurred on or before the date of such commencement, oriithe liquidator;ba company enters administration, an alienation by the company is challengeable by the administrator.2Subsection (1) applies where—aby the alienation, whether before or after 1st April 1986 (the coming into force of section75 of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985), any part of the company’s property is transferred or any claim or right of the company is discharged or renounced, andbthe alienation takes place on a relevant day.3For the purposes of subsection (2)(b), the day on which an alienation takes place is the day on which it becomes completely effectual; and in that subsection “relevant day” means, if the alienation has the effect of favouring—aa person who is an associate (within the meaning of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016) of the company, a day not earlier than 5 years before the date on which—ithe winding up of the company commences, oriias the case may be, the company enters administration; orbany other person, a day not earlier than 2 years before that date.4On a challenge being brought under subsection (1), the court shall grant decree of reduction or for such restoration of property to the company’s assets or other redress as may be appropriate; but the court shall not grant such a decree if the person seeking to uphold the alienation establishes—athat immediately, or at any other time, after the alienation the company’s assets were greater than its liabilities, orbthat the alienation was made for adequate consideration, orcthat the alienation—iwas a birthday, Christmas or other conventional gift, oriiwas a gift made, for a charitable purpose, to a person who is not an associate of the company,which, having regard to all the circumstances, it was reasonable for the company to make:Provided that this subsection is without prejudice to any right or interest acquired in good faith and for value from or through the transferee in the alienation.5In subsection (4) above, “charitable purpose” means any charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purpose, whether or not it is charitable within the meaning of any rule of law.6For the purposes of the foregoing provisions of this section, an alienation in implementation of a prior obligation is deemed to be one for which there was no consideration or no adequate consideration to the extent that the prior obligation was undertaken for no consideration or no adequate consideration.7A liquidator and an administrator have the same right as a creditor has under any rule of law to challenge an alienation of a company made for no consideration or no adequate consideration.8This section applies to Scotland only.2431Subject to subsection (2) below, subsection (4) below applies to a transaction entered into by a company, whether before or after 1st April 1986, which has the effect of creating a preference in favour of a creditor to the prejudice of the general body of creditors, being a preference created not earlier than 6 months before the commencement of the winding up of the company or the company enters administration.2Subsection (4) below does not apply to any of the following transactions—aa transaction in the ordinary course of trade or business;ba payment in cash for a debt which when it was paid had become payable, unless the transaction was collusive with the purpose of prejudicing the general body of creditors;ca transaction whereby the parties to it undertake reciprocal obligations (whether the performance by the parties of their respective obligations occurs at the same time or at different times) unless the transaction was collusive as aforesaid;dthe granting of a mandate by a company authorising an arrestee to pay over the arrested funds or part thereof to the arrester where—ithere has been a decree for payment or a warrant for summary diligence, andiithe decree or warrant has been preceded by an arrestment on the dependence of the action or followed by an arrestment in execution.3For the purposes of subsection (1) above, the day on which a preference was created is the day on which the preference became completely effectual.4A transaction to which this subsection applies is challengeable by—ain the case of a winding up—iany creditor who is a creditor by virtue of a debt incurred on or before the date of commencement of the winding up, oriithe liquidator; andbwhere the company has entered administration, the administrator.5On a challenge being brought under subsection (4) above, the court, if satisfied that the transaction challenged is a transaction to which this section applies, shall grant decree of reduction or for such restoration of property to the company’s assets or other redress as may be appropriate;Provided that this subsection is without prejudice to any right or interest acquired in good faith and for value from or through the creditor in whose favour the preference was created.6A liquidator and an administrator have the same right as a creditor has under any rule of law to challenge a preference created by a debtor.7This section applies to Scotland only.2441This section applies as does section 238, and where the company is, or has been, a party to a transaction for, or involving, the provision of credit to the company.2The court may, on the application of the office-holder, make an order with respect to the transaction if the transaction is or was extortionate and was entered into in the period of 3 years ending with the day on which the company entered administration or went into liquidation.3For the purposes of this section a transaction is extortionate if, having regard to the risk accepted by the person providing the credit—athe terms of it are or were such as to require grossly exorbitant payments to be made (whether unconditionally or in certain contingencies) in respect of the provision of the credit, orbit otherwise grossly contravened ordinary principles of fair dealing;and it shall be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, that a transaction with respect to which an application is made under this section is or, as the case may be, was extortionate.4An order under this section with respect to any transaction may contain such one or more of the following as the court thinks fit, that is to say—aprovision setting aside the whole or part of any obligation created by the transaction,bprovision otherwise varying the terms of the transaction or varying the terms on which any security for the purposes of the transaction is held,cprovision requiring any person who is or was a party to the transaction to pay to the office-holder any sums paid to that person, by virtue of the transaction, by the company,dprovision requiring any person to surrender to the office-holder any property held by him as security for the purposes of the transaction,eprovision directing accounts to be taken between any persons.5The powers conferred by this section are exercisable in relation to any transaction concurrently with any powers exercisable in relation to that transaction as a transaction at an undervalue or under section 242 (gratuitious alienations in Scotland).2451This section applies as does section 238, but applies to Scotland as well as to England and Wales.2Subject as follows, a floating charge on the company’s undertaking or property created at a relevant time is invalid except to the extent of the aggregate of—athe value of so much of the consideration for the creation of the charge as consists of money paid, or goods or services supplied, to the company at the same time as, or after, the creation of the charge,bthe value of so much of that consideration as consists of the discharge or reduction, at the same time as, or after, the creation of the charge, of any debt of the company, andcthe amount of such interest (if any) as is payable on the amount falling within paragraph (a) or (b) in pursuance of any agreement under which the money was so paid, the goods or services were so supplied or the debt was so discharged or reduced.3Subject to the next subsection, the time at which a floating charge is created by a company is a relevant time for the purposes of this section if the charge is created—ain the case of a charge which is created in favour of a person who is connected with the company, at a time in the period of 2 years ending with the onset of insolvency,bin the case of a charge which is created in favour of any other person, at a time in the period of 12 months ending with the onset of insolvency,. . . cin either case, at a time between the making of an administration application in respect of the company and the making of an administration order on that application, ordin either case, at a time between the filing with the court of a copy of notice of intention to appoint an administrator under paragraph 14 or 22 of Schedule B1 and the making of an appointment under that paragraph.4Where a company creates a floating charge at a time mentioned in subsection (3)(b) and the person in favour of whom the charge is created is not connected with the company, that time is not a relevant time for the purposes of this section unless the company—ais at that time unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 in Chapter VI of Part IV, orbbecomes unable to pay its debts within the meaning of that section in consequence of the transaction under which the charge is created.5For the purposes of subsection (3), the onset of insolvency is—ain a case where this section applies by reason of an administrator of a company being appointed by administration order, the date on which the administration application is made,bin a case where this section applies by reason of an administrator of a company being appointed under paragraph 14 or 22 of Schedule B1 following filing with the court of a copy of notice of intention to appoint under that paragraph, the date on which the copy of the notice is filed,cin a case where this section applies by reason of an administrator of a company being appointed otherwise than as mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b), the date on which the appointment takes effect, anddin a case where this section applies by reason of a company going into liquidation, the date of the commencement of the winding up.6For the purposes of subsection (2)(a) the value of any goods or services supplied by way of consideration for a floating charge is the amount in money which at the time they were supplied could reasonably have been expected to be obtained for supplying the goods or services in the ordinary course of business and on the same terms (apart from the consideration) as those on which they were supplied to the company.2461This section applies in the case of a company where—athe company enters administration,bthe company goes into liquidation, orca provisional liquidator is appointed;and “the office-holder” means the administrator, the liquidator or the provisional liquidator, as the case may be.2Subject as follows, a lien or other right to retain possession of any of the books, papers or other records of the company is unenforceable to the extent that its enforcement would deny possession of any books, papers or other records to the office-holder.3This does not apply to a lien on documents which give a title to property and are held as such.246ZA1If while a company is in administration it appears that any business of the company has been carried on with intent to defraud creditors of the company or creditors of any other person, or for any fraudulent purpose, the following has effect.2The court, on the application of the administrator, may declare that any persons who were knowingly parties to the carrying on of the business in the manner mentioned in subsection (1) are to be liable to make such contributions (if any) to the company's assets as the court thinks proper.246ZB1Subject to subsection (3), if while a company is in administration it appears that subsection (2) applies in relation to a person who is or has been a director of the company, the court, on the application of the administrator, may declare that that person is to be liable to make such contribution (if any) to the company's assets as the court thinks proper.2This subsection applies in relation to a person if—athe company has entered insolvent administration,bat some time before the company entered administration, that person knew or ought to have concluded that there was no reasonable prospect that the company would avoid entering insolvent administration or going into insolvent liquidation, andcthe person was a director of the company at that time.3The court must not make a declaration under this section with respect to any person if it is satisfied that, after the condition specified in subsection (2)(b) was first satisfied in relation to the person, the person took every step with a view to minimising the potential loss to the company's creditors as (on the assumption that the person had knowledge of the matter mentioned in subsection (2)(b)) the person ought to have taken.4For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3), the facts which a director of a company ought to know or ascertain, the conclusions which the director ought to reach and the steps which the director ought to take are those which would be known or ascertained, or reached or taken, by a reasonably diligent person having both—athe general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company, andbthe general knowledge, skill and experience that that director has.5The reference in subsection (4) to the functions carried out in relation to a company by a director of the company includes any functions which the director does not carry out but which have been entrusted to the director.6For the purposes of this section—aa company enters insolvent administration if it enters administration at a time when its assets are insufficient for the payment of its debts and other liabilities and the expenses of the administration;ba company goes into insolvent liquidation if it goes into liquidation at a time when its assets are insufficient for the payment of its debts and other liabilities and the expenses of the winding up.7In this section “director” includes shadow director.8This section is without prejudice to section 246ZA.246ZCSection 215 applies for the purposes of an application under section 246ZA or 246ZB as it applies for the purposes of an application under section 213 but as if the reference in subsection (1) of section 215 to the liquidator was a reference to the administrator.246ZD1This section applies in the case of a company where—athe company enters administration, orbthe company goes into liquidation;and “the office-holder” means the administrator or the liquidator, as the case may be.2The office-holder may assign a right of action (including the proceeds of an action) arising under or by virtue of any of the following—zasection A43 (challenges to monitor remuneration in subsequent insolvency proceedings);asection 213 or 246ZA (fraudulent trading);bsection 214 or 246ZB (wrongful trading);csection 238 (transactions at an undervalue (England and Wales));dsection 239 (preferences (England and Wales));esection 242 (gratuitous alienations (Scotland));fsection 243 (unfair preferences (Scotland));gsection 244 (extortionate credit transactions).246ZE1This section applies where, for the purposes of this Group of Parts, a person (“P”) seeks a decision about any matter from a company's creditors or contributories.2The decision may be made by any qualifying decision procedure P thinks fit, except that it may not be made by a creditors' meeting or (as the case may be) a contributories' meeting unless subsection (3) applies.3This subsection applies if at least the minimum number of creditors or (as the case may be) contributories make a request to P in writing that the decision be made by a creditors' meeting or (as the case may be) a contributories' meeting.4If subsection (3) applies P must summon a creditors' meeting or (as the case may be) a contributories' meeting.5Subsection (2) is subject to any provision of this Act, the rules or any other legislation, or any order of the court—arequiring a decision to be made, or prohibiting a decision from being made, by a particular qualifying decision procedure (other than a creditors' meeting or a contributories' meeting);bpermitting or requiring a decision to be made by a creditors' meeting or a contributories' meeting.6Section 246ZF provides that in certain cases the deemed consent procedure may be used instead of a qualifying decision procedure.7For the purposes of subsection (3) the “minimum number” of creditors or contributories is any of the following—a10% in value of the creditors or contributories;b10% in number of the creditors or contributories;c10 creditors or contributories.8The references in subsection (7) to creditors are to creditors of any class, even where a decision is sought only from creditors of a particular class.9In this section references to a meeting are to a meeting where the creditors or (as the case may be) contributories are invited to be present together at the same place (whether or not it is possible to attend the meeting without being present at that place).10Except as provided by subsection (8), references in this section to creditors include creditors of a particular class.11In this Group of Parts “qualifying decision procedure” means a procedure prescribed or authorised under paragraph 8A of Schedule 8.246ZF1The deemed consent procedure may be used instead of a qualifying decision procedure where a company's creditors or contributories are to make a decision about any matter, unless—aa decision about the matter is required by virtue of this Act, the rules, or any other legislation to be made by a qualifying decision procedure, orbthe court orders that a decision about the matter is to be made by a qualifying decision procedure.2If the rules provide for a company's creditors or contributories to make a decision about the remuneration of any person, they must provide that the decision is to be made by a qualifying decision procedure.3The deemed consent procedure is that the relevant creditors (other than opted-out creditors) or (as the case may be) the relevant contributories are given notice of—athe matter about which they are to make a decision,bthe decision that the person giving the notice proposes should be made (the “proposed decision”),cthe effect of subsections (4) and (5), anddthe procedure for objecting to the proposed decision.4If less than the appropriate number of relevant creditors or (as the case may be) relevant contributories object to the proposed decision in accordance with the procedure set out in the notice, the creditors or (as the case may be) the contributories are to be treated as having made the proposed decision.5Otherwise—athe creditors or (as the case may be) the contributories are to be treated as not having made a decision about the matter in question, andbif a decision about that matter is again sought from the creditors or (as the case may be) the contributories, it must be sought using a qualifying decision procedure.6For the purposes of subsection (4) the “appropriate number” of relevant creditors or relevant contributories is 10% in value of those creditors or contributories.7“Relevant creditors” means the creditors who, if the decision were to be made by a qualifying decision procedure, would be entitled to vote in the procedure.8“Relevant contributories” means the contributories who, if the decision were to be made by a qualifying decision procedure, would be entitled to vote in the procedure.9In this section references to creditors include creditors of a particular class.10The rules may make further provision about the deemed consent procedure.246ZG1The Secretary of State may by regulations amend section 246ZE so as to change the definition of—athe minimum number of creditors;bthe minimum number of contributories.2The Secretary of State may by regulations amend section 246ZF so as to change the definition of—athe appropriate number of relevant creditors;bthe appropriate number of relevant contributories.3Regulations under this section may define the minimum number or the appropriate number by reference to any one or more of—aa proportion in value,ba proportion in number,can absolute number,and the definition may include alternative, cumulative or relative requirements.4Regulations under subsection (1) may define the minimum number of creditors or contributories by reference to all creditors or contributories, or by reference to creditors or contributories of a particular description.5Regulations under this section may make provision that will result in section 246ZE or 246ZF having different definitions for different cases, including—afor creditors and for contributories,bfor different kinds of decisions.6Regulations under this section may make transitional provision.7The power of the Secretary of State to make regulations under this section is exercisable by statutory instrument.8A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.246A1Subject to subsection (2), this section applies to any meeting of the members of a company summoned by the office-holder under this Act or the rules, other than a meeting of the members of the company in a members' voluntary winding up.2This section does not apply where—aa company is being wound up in Scotland, orba receiver is appointed under section 51 in Chapter 2 of Part 3.3Where the person summoning a meeting (“the convener”) considers it appropriate, the meeting may be conducted and held in such a way that persons who are not present together at the same place may attend it.4Where a meeting is conducted and held in the manner referred to in subsection (3), a person attends the meeting if that person is able to exercise any rights which that person may have to speak and vote at the meeting.5For the purposes of this section—aa person is able to exercise the right to speak at a meeting when that person is in a position to communicate to all those attending the meeting, during the meeting, any information or opinions which that person has on the business of the meeting; andba person is able to exercise the right to vote at a meeting when—ithat person is able to vote, during the meeting, on resolutions put to the vote at the meeting, andiithat person's vote can be taken into account in determining whether or not such resolutions are passed at the same time as the votes of all the other persons attending the meeting.6The convener of a meeting which is to be conducted and held in the manner referred to in subsection (3) shall make whatever arrangements the convener considers appropriate to—aenable those attending the meeting to exercise their rights to speak or vote, andbensure the identification of those attending the meeting and the security of any electronic means used to enable attendance.7Where in the reasonable opinion of the convener—aa meeting will be attended by persons who will not be present together at the same place, andbit is unnecessary or inexpedient to specify a place for the meeting,any requirement under this Act or the rules to specify a place for the meeting may be satisfied by specifying the arrangements the convener proposes to enable persons to exercise their rights to speak or vote.8In making the arrangements referred to in subsection (6) and in forming the opinion referred to in subsection (7)(b), the convener must have regard to the legitimate interests of the members and others attending the meeting in the efficient despatch of the business of the meeting.9If—athe notice of a meeting does not specify a place for the meeting,bthe convener is requested in accordance with the rules to specify a place for the meeting, andcthat request is made by members representing not less than ten percent of the total voting rights of all the members having at the date of the request a right to vote at the meeting, it shall be the duty of the convener to specify a place for the meeting.10In this section, “the office-holder”, in relation to a company, means—zathe monitor in relation to a moratorium under Part A1,aits liquidator, provisional liquidator, administrator, receiver (appointed under section 51) or administrative receiver, orbwhere a voluntary arrangement in relation to the company is proposed or has taken effect under Part 1, the nominee or the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement.246B1Subject to subsection (2), where any provision of this Act or the rules requires the office-holder to give, deliver, furnish or send a notice or other document or information to any person, that requirement is satisfied by making the notice, document or information available on a website—ain accordance with the rules, andbin such circumstances as may be prescribed.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3In this section, “the office-holder” means—zathe monitor in relation to a moratorium under Part A1,athe liquidator, provisional liquidator, administrator, receiver (appointed under section 51), or administrative receiver of a company, orbwhere a voluntary arrangement in relation to a company is proposed or has taken effect under Part 1, the nominee or the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement.246C1Any provision of the rules which requires an office-holder of a company to give a notice to creditors of the company does not apply, in circumstances prescribed by the rules, in relation to opted-out creditors.2Subsection (1)—adoes not apply in relation to a notice of a distribution or proposed distribution to creditors;bis subject to any order of the court requiring a notice to be given to all creditors (or all creditors of a particular category).3Except as provided by the rules, a creditor may participate and vote in a qualifying decision procedure or a deemed consent procedure even

Part 7A 251A1An individual who is unable to pay his debts may apply for an order under this Part (“a debt relief order”) to be made in respect of his qualifying debts.2In this Part “qualifying debt” means (subject to subsection (3)) a debt which—ais for a liquidated sum payable either immediately or at some certain future time; andbis not an excluded debt.3A debt is not a qualifying debt to the extent that it is secured.4In this Part “excluded debt” means a debt of any description prescribed for the purposes of this subsection.251B1An application for a debt relief order must be made to the official receiver through an approved intermediary.2The application must include—aa list of the debts to which the debtor is subject at the date of the application, specifying the amount of each debt (including any interest, penalty or other sum that has become payable in relation to that debt on or before that date) and the creditor to whom it is owed;bdetails of any security held in respect of any of those debts; andcsuch other information about the debtor's affairs (including his creditors, debts and liabilities and his income and assets) as may be prescribed.3The rules may make further provision as to—athe form of an application for a debt relief order;bthe manner in which an application is to be made; andcinformation and documents to be supplied in support of an application.4For the purposes of this Part an application is not to be regarded as having been made until—athe application has been submitted to the official receiver; andbany fee required in connection with the application by an order under section 415 has been paid to such person as the order may specify.251C1This section applies where an application for a debt relief order is made.2The official receiver may stay consideration of the application until he has received answers to any queries raised with the debtor in relation to anything connected with the application.3The official receiver must determine the application by—adeciding whether to refuse the application;bif he does not refuse it, by making a debt relief order in relation to the specified debts he is satisfied were qualifying debts of the debtor at the application date;but he may only refuse the application if he is authorised or required to do so by any of the following provisions of this section.4The official receiver may refuse the application if he considers that—athe application does not meet all the requirements imposed by or under section 251B;bany queries raised with the debtor have not been answered to the satisfaction of the official receiver within such time as he may specify when they are raised;cthe debtor has made any false representation or omission in making the application or on supplying any information or documents in support of it.5The official receiver must refuse the application if he is not satisfied that—athe debtor is an individual who is unable to pay his debts;bat least one of the specified debts was a qualifying debt of the debtor at the application date;ceach of the conditions set out in Part 1 of Schedule 4ZA is met.6The official receiver may refuse the application if he is not satisfied that each condition specified in Part 2 of Schedule 4ZA is met.7If the official receiver refuses an application he must give reasons for his refusal to the debtor in the prescribed manner.8In this section “specified debt” means a debt specified in the application.251D1The following presumptions are to apply to the determination of an application for a debt relief order.2The official receiver must presume that the debtor is an individual who is unable to pay his debts at the determination date if—athat appears to the official receiver to be the case at the application date from the information supplied in the application and he has no reason to believe that the information supplied is incomplete or inaccurate; andbhe has no reason to believe that, by virtue of a change in the debtor's financial circumstances since the application date, the debtor may be able to pay his debts.3The official receiver must presume that a specified debt (of the amount specified in the application and owed to the creditor so specified) is a qualifying debt at the application date if—athat appears to him to be the case from the information supplied in the application; andbhe has no reason to believe that the information supplied is incomplete or inaccurate.4The official receiver must presume that the condition specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 4ZA is met if—athat appears to him to be the case from the information supplied in the application;bany prescribed verification checks relating to the condition have been made; andche has no reason to believe that the information supplied is incomplete or inaccurate.5The official receiver must presume that any other condition specified in Part 1 or 2 of Schedule 4ZA is met if—athat appears to him to have been the case as at the application date from the information supplied in the application and he has no reason to believe that the information supplied is incomplete or inaccurate;bany prescribed verification checks relating to the condition have been made; andche has no reason to believe that, by virtue of a change in circumstances since the application date, the condition may no longer be met.6References in this section to information supplied in the application include information supplied to the official receiver in support of the application.7In this section “specified debt” means a debt specified in the application.251E1This section applies where the official receiver makes a debt relief order on determining an application under section 251C.2The order must be made in the prescribed form.3The order must include a list of the debts which the official receiver is satisfied were qualifying debts of the debtor at the application date, specifying the amount of the debt at that time and the creditor to whom it was then owed.4The official receiver must—agive a copy of the order to the debtor; andbmake an entry for the order in the register containing the prescribed information about the order or the debtor.5The rules may make provision as to other steps to be taken by the official receiver or the debtor on the making of the order.6Those steps may include in particular notifying each creditor to whom a qualifying debt specified in the order is owed of—athe making of the order and its effect,bthe grounds on which a creditor may object under section 251K, andcany other prescribed information.7In this Part the date on which an entry relating to the making of a debt relief order is first made in the register is referred to as “the effective date”.251F1This section applies if—aa debt relief order is made, andbimmediately before the order is made, other debt management arrangements are in force in respect of the debtor.2The other debt management arrangements cease to be in force when the debt relief order is made.3In this section “other debt management arrangements” means—aan administration order under Part 6 of the County Courts Act 1984;ban enforcement restriction order under Part 6A of that Act;ca debt repayment plan arranged in accordance with a debt management scheme that is approved under Chapter 4 of Part 5 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.251G1A moratorium commences on the effective date for a debt relief order in relation to each qualifying debt specified in the order (“a specified qualifying debt”).2During the moratorium, the creditor to whom a specified qualifying debt is owed—ahas no remedy in respect of the debt, andbmay not—icommence a creditor's petition in respect of the debt, oriiotherwise commence any action or other legal proceedings against the debtor for the debt,except with the permission of the court and on such terms as the court may impose.3If on the effective date a creditor to whom a specified qualifying debt is owed has any such petition, action or other proceeding as mentioned in subsection (2)(b) pending in any court, the court may—astay the proceedings on the petition, action or other proceedings (as the case may be), orballow them to continue on such terms as the court thinks fit.4In subsection (2)(a) and (b) references to the debt include a reference to any interest, penalty or other sum that becomes payable in relation to that debt after the application date.5Nothing in this section affects the right of a secured creditor of the debtor to enforce his security.251H1The moratorium relating to the qualifying debts specified in a debt relief order continues for the period of one year beginning with the effective date for the order, unless—athe moratorium terminates early; orbthe moratorium period is extended by the official receiver under this section or by the court under section 251M.2The official receiver may only extend the moratorium period for the purpose of—acarrying out or completing an investigation under section 251K;btaking any action he considers necessary (whether as a result of an investigation or otherwise) in relation to the order; orcin a case where he has decided to revoke the order, providing the debtor with the opportunity to make arrangements for making payments towards his debts.3The official receiver may not extend the moratorium period for the purpose mentioned in subsection (2)(a) without the permission of the court.4The official receiver may not extend the moratorium period beyond the end of the period of three months beginning after the end of the initial period of one year mentioned in subsection (1).5The moratorium period may be extended more than once, but any extension (whether by the official receiver or by the court) must be made before the moratorium would otherwise end.6References in this Part to a moratorium terminating early are to its terminating before the end of what would otherwise be the moratorium period, whether on the revocation of the order or by virtue of any other enactment.251I1Subject as follows, at the end of the moratorium applicable to a debt relief order the debtor is discharged from all the qualifying debts specified in the order (including all interest, penalties and other sums which may have become payable in relation to those debts since the application date).2Subsection (1) does not apply if the moratorium terminates early.3Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to any qualifying debt which the debtor incurred in respect of any fraud or fraudulent breach of trust to which the debtor was a party.4The discharge of the debtor under subsection (1) does not release any other person from—aany liability (whether as partner or co-trustee of the debtor or otherwise) from which the debtor is released by the discharge; orbany liability as surety for the debtor or as a person in the nature of such a surety.5If the order is revoked by the court under section 251M after the end of the moratorium period, the qualifying debts specified in the order shall (so far as practicable) be treated as though subsection (1) had never applied to them.251J1The duties in this section apply to a debtor at any time after the making of an application by him for a debt relief order.2The debtor must—agive to the official receiver such information as to his affairs,battend on the official receiver at such times, andcdo all such other things,as the official receiver may reasonably require for the purpose of carrying out his functions in relation to the application or, as the case may be, the debt relief order made as a result of the application.3The debtor must notify the official receiver as soon as reasonably practicable if he becomes aware of—aany error in, or omission from, the information supplied to the official receiver in, or in support of, the application;bany change in his circumstances between the application date and the determination date that would affect (or would have affected) the determination of the application.4The duties under subsections (2) and (3) apply after (as well as before) the determination of the application, for as long as the official receiver is able to exercise functions of the kind mentioned in subsection (2).5If a debt relief order is made as a result of the application, the debtor must notify the official receiver as soon as reasonably practicable if—athere is an increase in his income during the moratorium period applicable to the order;bhe acquires any property or any property is devolved upon him during that period;che becomes aware of any error in or omission from any information supplied by him to the official receiver after the determination date.6A notification under subsection (3) or (5) must give the prescribed particulars (if any) of the matter being notified.251K1Any person specified in a debt relief order as a creditor to whom a specified qualifying debt is owed may object to—athe making of the order;bthe inclusion of the debt in the list of the debtor's qualifying debts; orcthe details of the debt specified in the order.2An objection under subsection (1) must be—amade during the moratorium period relating to the order and within the prescribed period for objections;bmade to the official receiver in the prescribed manner;cbased on a prescribed ground;dsupported by any information and documents as may be prescribed;and the prescribed period mentioned in paragraph (a) must not be less than 28 days after the creditor in question has been notified of the making of the order.3The official receiver must consider every objection made to him under this section.4The official receiver may—aas part of his consideration of an objection, orbon his own initiative,carry out an investigation of any matter that appears to the official receiver to be relevant to the making of any decision mentioned in subsection (5) in relation to a debt relief order or the debtor.5The decisions to which an investigation may be directed are—awhether the order should be revoked or amended under section 251L;bwhether an application should be made to the court under section 251M; orcwhether any other steps should be taken in relation to the debtor.6The power to carry out an investigation under this section is exercisable after (as well as during) the moratorium relating to the order.7The official receiver may require any person to give him such information and assistance as he may reasonably require in connection with an investigation under this section.8Subject to anything prescribed in the rules as to the procedure to be followed in carrying out an investigation under this section, an investigation may be carried out by the official receiver in such manner as he thinks fit.251L1The official receiver may revoke or amend a debt relief order during the applicable moratorium period in the circumstances provided for by this section.2The official receiver may revoke the order on the ground that—aany information supplied to him by the debtor—iin, or in support of, the application, oriiafter the determination date,was incomplete, incorrect or otherwise misleading;bthe debtor has failed to comply with a duty under section 251J;ca bankruptcy order has been made in relation to the debtor; ordthe debtor has made a proposal under Part 8 (or has notified the official receiver of his intention to do so).3The official receiver may revoke the order on the ground that he should not have been satisfied—athat the debts specified in the order were qualifying debts of the debtor as at the application date;bthat the conditions specified in Part 1 of Schedule 4ZA were met;cthat the conditions specified in Part 2 of that Schedule were met or that any failure to meet such a condition did not prevent his making the order.4The official receiver may revoke the order on the ground that either or both of the conditions in paragraphs 7 and 8 of Schedule 4ZA (monthly surplus income and property) are not met at any time after the order was made.For this purpose those paragraphs are to be read as if references to the determination date were references to the time in question.5Where the official receiver decides to revoke the order, he may revoke it either—awith immediate effect, orbwith effect from such date (not more than three months after the date of the decision) as he may specify.6In considering when the revocation should take effect the official receiver must consider (in the light of the grounds on which the decision to revoke was made and all the other circumstances of the case) whether the debtor ought to be given the opportunity to make arrangements for making payments towards his debts.7If the order has been revoked with effect from a specified date the official receiver may, if he thinks it appropriate to do so at any time before that date, revoke the order with immediate effect.8The official receiver may amend a debt relief order for the purpose of correcting an error in or omission from anything specified in the order.9But subsection (8) does not permit the official receiver to add any debts that were not specified in the application for the debt relief order to the list of qualifying debts.10The rules may make further provision as to the procedure to be followed by the official receiver in the exercise of his powers under this section.251M1Any person may make an application to the court if he is dissatisfied by any act, omission or decision of the official receiver in connection with a debt relief order or an application for such an order.2The official receiver may make an application to the court for directions or an order in relation to any matter arising in connection with a debt relief order or an application for such an order.3The matters referred to in subsection (2) include, among other things, matters relating to the debtor's compliance with any duty arising under section 251J.4An application under this section may, subject to anything in the rules, be made at any time.5The court may extend the moratorium period applicable to a debt relief order for the purposes of determining an application under this section.6On an application under this section the court may dismiss the application or do one or more of the following—aquash the whole or part of any act or decision of the official receiver;bgive the official receiver directions (including a direction that he reconsider any matter in relation to which his act or decision has been quashed under paragraph (a));cmake an order for the enforcement of any obligation on the debtor arising by virtue of a duty under section 251J;dextend the moratorium period applicable to the debt relief order;emake an order revoking or amending the debt relief order;fmake an order under section 251N; orgmake such other order as the court thinks fit.7An order under subsection (6)(e) for the revocation of a debt relief order—amay be made during the moratorium period applicable to the debt relief order or at any time after that period has ended;bmay be made on the court's own motion if the court has made a bankruptcy order in relation to the debtor during that period;cmay provide for the revocation of the order to take effect on such terms and at such a time as the court may specify.8An order under subsection (6)(e) for the amendment of a debt relief order may not add any debts that were not specified in the application for the debt relief order to the list of qualifying debts.251N1An order under this section may be made by the court on the application of the official receiver.2An order under this section is an order summoning any of the following persons to appear before the court—athe debtor;bthe debtor's spouse or former spouse or the debtor's civil partner or former civil partner;cany person appearing to the court to be able to give information or assistance concerning the debtor or his dealings, affairs and property.3The court may require a person falling within subsection (2)(c)—ato provide a written account of his dealings with the debtor; orbto produce any documents in his possession or under his control relating to the debtor or to the debtor's dealings, affairs or property.4Subsection (5) applies where a person fails without reasonable excuse to appear before the court when he is summoned to do so by an order under this section.5The court may cause a warrant to be issued to a constable or prescribed officer of the court—afor the arrest of that person, andbfor the seizure of any records or other documents in that person's possession.6The court may authorise a person arrested under such a warrant to be kept in custody, and anything seized under such a warrant to be held, in accordance with the rules, until that person is brought before the court under the warrant or until such other time as the court may order.251O1A person who makes an application for a debt relief order is guilty of an offence if he knowingly or recklessly makes any false representation or omission in making the application or providing any information or documents to the official receiver in support of the application.2A person who makes an application for a debt relief order is guilty of an offence if—ahe intentionally fails to comply with a duty under section 251J(3) in connection with the application;

andbthe contrary is not proved beyond reasonable doubt.5It is immaterial for the purposes of this section whether or not the debt relief order in question is revoked after the conduct constituting an offence takes place (but no offence is committed by virtue of conduct occurring after the order is revoked).251R1A person in respect of whom a debt relief order is made is guilty of an offence if during the relevant period he disposed of any property which he had obtained on credit and, at the time he disposed of it, had not paid for it.2Any other person is guilty of an offence if during the relevant period he acquired or received property from a person in respect of whom a debt relief order was made (the “debtor”) knowing or believing—athat the debtor owed money in respect of the property, andbthat the debtor did not intend, or was unlikely to be able, to pay the money he so owed.3In subsections (1) and (2) “relevant period” means the period between—athe start of the period of two years ending with the application date;

and references to acquiring or receiving property shall be read accordingly.8It is immaterial for the purposes of this section whether or not the debt relief order in question is revoked after the conduct constituting an offence takes place (but no offence is committed by virtue of conduct occurring after the order is revoked).251S1A person in respect of whom a debt relief order is made is guilty of an offence if, during the relevant period—ahe obtains credit (either alone or jointly with any other person) without giving the person from whom he obtains the credit the relevant information about his status; orbhe engages directly or indirectly in any business under a name other than that in which the order was made without disclosing to all persons with whom he enters into any business transaction the name in which the order was made.2For the purposes of subsection (1)(a) the relevant information about a person's status is the information that—aa moratorium is in force in relation to the debt relief order,ba debt relief restrictions order is in force in respect of him, orcboth a moratorium and a debt relief restrictions order is in force,as the case may be.3In subsection (1) “relevant period” means—athe moratorium period relating to the debt relief order, orbthe period for which a debt relief restrictions order is in force in respect of the person in respect of whom the debt relief order is made,as the case may be.4Subsection (1)(a) does not apply if the amount of the credit is less than the prescribed amount (if any).5The reference in subsection (1)(a) to a person obtaining credit includes the following cases—awhere goods are bailed to him under a hire-purchase agreement, or agreed to be sold to him under a conditional sale agreement;bwhere he is paid in advance (in money or otherwise) for the supply of goods or services.251T1Proceedings for an offence under this Part may only be instituted by the Secretary of State or by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.2It is not a defence in proceedings for an offence under this Part that anything relied on, in whole or in part, as constituting the offence was done outside England and Wales.3A person guilty of an offence under this Part is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both (but see section 430).251U1In this Part “approved intermediary” means an individual for the time being approved by a competent authority to act as an intermediary between a person wishing to make an application for a debt relief order and the official receiver.2In this section “competent authority” means a person or body for the time being designated by the Secretary of State for the purposes of granting approvals under this section.3Designation as a competent authority may be limited so as to permit the authority only to approve persons of a particular description.4The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision as to—athe procedure for designating persons or bodies as competent authorities;bdescriptions of individuals who are ineligible to be approved under this section;cthe procedure for granting approvals under this section;dthe withdrawal of designations or approvals under this section;and provision made under paragraph (a) or (c) may include provision requiring the payment of fees.5The rules may make provision about the activities to be carried out by an approved intermediary in connection with an application for a debt relief order, which may in particular include—aassisting the debtor in making the application;bchecking that the application has been properly completed;csending the application to the official receiver.6The rules may also make provision about other activities to be carried out by approved intermediaries.7An approved intermediary may not charge a debtor any fee in connection with an application for a debt relief order.8An approved intermediary is not liable to any person in damages for anything done or omitted to be done when acting (or purporting to act) as an approved intermediary in connection with a particular application by a debtor for a debt relief order.9Subsection (8) does not apply if the act or omission was in bad faith.10Regulations under subsection (4) shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.251VSchedule 4ZB (which makes provision about debt relief restrictions orders and debt relief restrictions undertakings) has effect.251WThe Secretary of State must maintain a register of matters relating to—adebt relief orders;bdebt relief restrictions orders; andcdebt relief restrictions undertakings.251X1In this Part—“the application date”, in relation to a debt relief order or an application for a debt relief order, means the date on which the application for the order is made to the official receiver;“approved intermediary” has the meaning given in section 251U(1);“debt relief order” means an order made by the official receiver under this Part;“debtor” means—in relation to an application for a debt relief order, the applicant; andin relation to a debt relief order, the person in relation to whom the order is made;“debt relief restrictions order” and “debt relief restrictions undertaking” means an order made, or an undertaking accepted, under Schedule 4ZB;“the determination date”, in relation to a debt relief order or an application for a debt relief order, means the date on which the application for the order is determined by the official receiver;“the effective date” has the meaning given in section 251E(7);“excluded debt” is to be construed in accordance with section 251A;“moratorium” and “moratorium period” are to be construed in accordance with sections 251G and 251H;“qualifying debt”, in relation to a debtor, has the meaning given in section 251A(2);“the register” means the register maintained under section 251W;“specified qualifying debt” has the meaning given in section 251G(1).2In this Part references to a creditor specified in a debt relief order as the person to whom a qualifying debt is owed by the debtor include a reference to any person to whom the right to claim the whole or any part of the debt has passed, by assignment or operation of law, after the date of the application for the order. Part VIII2521In the circumstances specified below, the court may in the case of a debtor (being an individual) make an interim order under this section.2An interim order has the effect that, during the period for which it is in force—ano bankruptcy petition relating to the debtor may be presented or proceeded with,aano landlord or other person to whom rent is payable may exercise any right of forfeiture by peaceable re-entry in relation to premises let to the debtor in respect of a failure by the debtor to comply with any term or condition of his tenancy of such premises, except with the leave of the court andbno other proceedings, and no execution or other legal process, may be commenced or continued and no distress may be levied against the debtor or his property except with leave of the court.2531Application to the court for an interim order may be made where the debtor intends to make a proposal under this Part, that is, a proposalto his creditors for a composition in satisfaction of his debts or a scheme of arrangement of his affairs (from here on referred to, in either case, as a “voluntary arrangement”).2The proposal must provide for some person (“the nominee”) to act in relation to the voluntary arrangement either as trustee or otherwise for the purpose of supervising its implementation and the nominee must be a person who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner, or authorised to act as nominee, in relation to the voluntary arrangement.3Subject as follows, the application may be made—aif the debtor is an undischarged bankrupt, by the debtor, the trustee of his estate, or the official receiver, andbin any other case, by the debtor.4An application shall not be made under subsection (3)(a) unless the debtor has given notice of the proposal to the official receiver and, if there is one, the trustee of his estate.5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2541At any time when an application under section 253 for an interim order is pendingano landlord or other person to whom rent is payable may exercise any right of forfeiture by peaceable re-entry in relation to premises let to the debtor in respect of a failure by the debtor to comply with any term or condition of his tenancy of such premises, except with the leave of the court, andb, the court may forbid the levying of any distress on the debtor’s property or its subsequent sale, or both, and stay any action, execution or other legal process against the property or person of the debtor.2Any court in which proceedings are pending against an individual may, on proof that an application under that section has been made in respect of that individual, either stay the proceedings or allow them to continue on such terms as it thinks fit.2551The court shall not make an interim order on an application under section 253 unless it is satisfied—athat the debtor intends to make a proposal under this Part;bthat on the day of the making of the application the debtor was an undischarged bankrupt or was able to make a bankruptcy application ;cthat no previous application has been made by the debtor for an interim order in the period of 12 months ending with that day; anddthat the nominee under the debtor’s proposal . . . is willing to act in relation to the proposal.2The court may make an order if it thinks that it would be appropriate to do so for the purpose of facilitating the consideration and implementation of the debtor’s proposal.3Where the debtor is an undischarged bankrupt, the interim order may contain provision as to the conduct of the bankruptcy, and the administration of the bankrupt’s estate, during the period for which the order is in force.4Subject as follows, the provision contained in an interim order by virtue of subsection (3) may include provision staying proceedings in the bankruptcy or modifying any provision in this Group of Parts, and any provision of the rules in their application to the debtor’s bankruptcy.5An interim order shall not, in relation to a bankrupt, make provision relaxing or removing any of the requirements of provisions in this Group of Parts, or of the rules, unless the court is satisfied that that provision is unlikely to result in any significant diminution in, or in the value of, the debtor’s estate for the purposes of the bankruptcy.6Subject to the following provisions of this Part, an interim order made on an application under section 253 ceases to have effect at the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day after the making of the order.2561Where an interim order has been made on an application under section 253, the nominee shall, before the order ceases to have effect, submit a report to the court stating—awhether, in his opinion, the voluntary arrangement which the debtor is proposing has a reasonable prospect of being approved and implemented, and aawhether, in his opinion, the debtor's creditors should consider the debtors’ proposal ...b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2For the purpose of enabling the nominee to prepare his report the debtor shall submit to the nominee—aa document setting out the terms of the voluntary arrangement which the debtor is proposing, andba statement of his affairs containing—isuch particulars of his creditors and of his debts and other liabilities and of his assets as may be prescribed, andiisuch other information as may be prescribed.3The court may—aon an application made by the debtor in a case where the nominee has failed to submit the report required by this section or has died, orbon an application made by the debtor or the nominee in a case where it is impracticable or inappropriate for the nominee to continue to act as such,direct that the nominee shall be replaced as such by another person qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner, or authorised to act as nominee, in relation to the voluntary arrangement.3AThe court may, on an application made by the debtor in a case where the nominee has failed to submit the report required by this section, direct that the interim order shall continue, or (if it has ceased to have effect) be renewed, for such further period as the court may specify in the direction.4The court may, on the application of the nominee, extend the period for which the interim order has effect so as to enable the nominee to have more time to prepare his report.5If the court is satisfied on receiving the nominee’s report that the debtor's creditors should consider the debtor’s proposal, the court shall direct that the period for which the interim order has effect shall be extended, for such further period as it may specify in the direction, for the purpose of enabling the debtor’s proposal to be considered by his creditors in accordance with the following provisions of this Part.6The court may discharge the interim order if it is satisfied, on the application of the nominee—athat the debtor has failed to comply with his obligations under subsection (2), orbthat for any other reason it would be inappropriate for the debtor's creditors to consider the debtor’s proposal.256A1This section applies where a debtor (being an individual)—aintends to make a proposal under this Part (but an interim order has not been made in relation to the proposal and no application for such an order is pending), andbif he is an undischarged bankrupt, has given notice of the proposal to the official receiver and, if there is one, the trustee of his estate,...2For the purpose of enabling the nominee to prepare a report under subsection (3), the debtor shall submit to the nominee—aa document setting out the terms of the voluntary arrangement which the debtor is proposing, andba statement of his affairs containing—isuch particulars of his creditors and of his debts and other liabilities and of his assets as may be prescribed, andiisuch other information as may be prescribed.3If the nominee is of the opinion that the debtor is an undischarged bankrupt, or is able to make a bankruptcy application , the nominee shall, within 14 days (or such longer period as the court may allow) after receiving the document and statement mentioned in subsection (2), submit a report to the debtor's creditors stating—awhether, in his opinion, the voluntary arrangement which the debtor is proposing has a reasonable prospect of being approved and implemented, and bwhether, in his opinion, the debtor's creditors should consider the debtor’s proposal ...c. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4The court may—aon an application made by the debtor in a case where the nominee has failed to submit the report required by this section or has died, orbon an application made by the debtor or the nominee in a case where it is impracticable or inappropriate for the nominee to continue to act as such,direct that the nominee shall be replaced as such by another person qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner, or authorised to act as nominee, in relation to the voluntary arrangement.5The court may, on an application made by the nominee, extend the period within which the nominee is to submit his report.2571This section applies where it has been reported to the court under section 256 or to the debtor's creditors under section 256A that the debtor's creditors should consider the debtor's proposal.2The nominee (or the nominee's replacement under section 256(3) or 256A(4)) must seek a decision from the debtor's creditors as to whether they approve the proposed voluntary arrangement (unless, in the case of a report to which section 256 applies, the court otherwise directs).2AThe decision is to be made by a creditors' decision procedure.2BNotice of the creditors' decision procedure must be given to every creditor of the debtor of whose claim and address the nominee (or the nominee's replacement) is aware.3For this purpose the creditors of a debtor who is an undischarged bankrupt include—aevery person who is a creditor of the bankrupt in respect of a bankruptcy debt, andbevery person who would be such a creditor if the bankruptcy had commenced on the date on which notice of the creditors' decision procedure is given.2581This section applies where under section 257 the debtor's creditors are asked to decide whether to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement.2The creditors may approve the proposed voluntary arrangement with or without modifications, but shall not approve it with modifications unless the debtor consents to each modification.3The modifications subject to which the proposed voluntary arrangement may be approved may include one conferring the functions proposed to be conferred on the nominee on another person qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner or authorised to act as nominee, in relation to the voluntary arrangement.But they shall not include any modification by virtue of which the proposal ceases to be a proposal under this Part.4The creditors shall not approve any proposal or modification which affects the right of a secured creditor of the debtor to enforce his security, except with the concurrence of the creditor concerned.5Subject as follows, the creditors shall not approve any proposal or modification under which—aany preferential debt of the debtor is to be paid otherwise than in priority to such of his debts as are not preferential debts, ...aaany ordinary preferential debt of the debtor is to be paid otherwise than in priority to any secondary preferential debts that the debtor may have,ba preferential creditor of the debtor is to be paid an amount in respect of an ordinary preferential debt that bears to that debt a smaller proportion than is borne to another ordinary preferential debt by the amount that is to be paid in respect of that other debt , ...ca preferential creditor of the debtor is to be paid an amount in respect of a secondary preferential debt that bears to that debt a smaller proportion than is borne to another secondary preferential debt by the amount that is to be paid in respect of that other debt. ordif the debtor is a relevant financial institution (see section 387A), any non-preferential debt is to be paid otherwise than in accordance with the rules in section 328(3A) (reading references to the bankrupt as references to the debtor),However, the creditors may approve such a proposal or modification with the concurrence of the ... creditor concerned.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7In this section “preferential debt” , "ordinary preferential debt” and “secondary preferential debt” each has the meaning given by section 386 in Part XII; and “preferential creditor” is to be construed accordingly.2591When pursuant to section 257 the debtor's creditors have decided whether to approve the debtor's proposal (with or without modifications), the nominee (or the nominee's replacement under section 256(3) or 256A(4)) must—agive notice of the creditors' decision to such persons as may be prescribed, andbwhere the creditors considered the debtor's proposal pursuant to a report to the court under section 256(1)(aa), report the creditors' decision to the court.2If the report is that the creditors have declined (with or without modifications) to approve the voluntary arrangement proposed under section 256, the court may discharge any interim order which is in force in relation to the debtor.2601This section has effect where pursuant to section 257 the debtor's creditors decide to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement (with or without modifications).2The approved arrangement—atakes effect as if made by the debtor at the time the creditors decided to approve the proposal, andbbinds every person who in accordance with the rules—iwas entitled to vote in the creditors' decision procedure by which the decision to approve the proposal was made, oriiwould have been so entitled if he had had notice of it,as if he were a party to the arrangement.2AIf—awhen the arrangement ceases to have effect any amount payable under the arrangement to a person bound by virtue of subsection (2)(b)(ii) has not been paid, andbthe arrangement did not come to an end prematurely,the debtor shall at that time become liable to pay to that person the amount payable under the arrangement.3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4Any interim order in force in relation to the debtor immediately before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the report with respect to the creditors’ decision was made to the court under section 259 ceases to have effect at the end of that period.This subsection applies except to such extent as the court may direct for the purposes of any application under section 262 below.5Where proceedings on a bankruptcy petition have been stayed by an interim order which ceases to have effect under subsection (4), that petition is deemed, unless the court otherwise orders, to have been dismissed.2611This section applies where—apursuant to section 257 the debtor's creditors decide to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement (with or without modifications), andbthe debtor is an undischarged bankrupt.2Where this section applies the court shall annul the bankruptcy order on an application made—aby the bankrupt, orbwhere the bankrupt has not made an application within the prescribed period, by the official receiver.3An application under subsection (2) may not be made—aduring the period specified in section 262(3)(a) during which the creditors' decision can be challenged by application under section 262,bwhile an application under that section is pending, orcwhile an appeal in respect of an application under that section is pending or may be brought.4Where this section applies the court may give such directions about the conduct of the bankruptcy and the administration of the bankrupt’s estate as it thinks appropriate for facilitating the implementation of the approved voluntary arrangement.2621Subject to this section, an application to the court may be made, by any of the persons specified below, on one or both of the following grounds, namely—athat a voluntary arrangement approved by a decision of the debtor's creditors pursuant to section 257 unfairly prejudices the interests of a creditor of the debtor;bthat there has been some material irregularity in relation to a creditors' decision procedure instigated under that section.2The persons who may apply under this section are—athe debtor;ba person who—iwas entitled, in accordance with the rules, to vote in the creditors' decision procedure, oriiwould have been so entitled if he had had notice of itcthe nominee (or his replacement under section 256(3), 256A(4) or 258(3)); anddif the debtor is an undischarged bankrupt, the trustee of his estate or the official receiver.3An application under this section shall not be madeaafter the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the creditors decided whether to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement or, where a report was required to be made to the court under section 259(1)(b), the day on which the report was made orbin the case of a person who was not given notice of the creditors' decision procedure, after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which he became aware that a decision as to whether to approve the proposed voluntary arrangement had been made,but (subject to that) an application made by a person within subsection (2)(b)(ii) on the ground that the arrangement prejudices his interests may be made after the arrangement has ceased to have effect, unless it has come to an end prematurely.4Where on an application under this section the court is satisfied as to either of the grounds mentioned in subsection (1), it may do one or both of the following, namely—arevoke or suspend any approval given by a decision of the debtor's creditors;bdirect any person to seek a decision from the debtor's creditors (using a creditors' decision procedure) as to whether they approve—iany revised proposal the debtor may make, oriiin a case falling within subsection (1)(b), the debtor's original proposal.5Where at any time after giving a direction under subsection (4)(b) in relation to a revised proposal the court is satisfied that the debtor does not intend to submit such a proposal, the court shall revoke the direction and revoke or suspend any approval previously given by the debtor's creditors.6Where the court gives a direction under subsection (4)(b), it may also give a direction continuing or, as the case may require, renewing, for such period as may be specified in the direction, the effect in relation to the debtor of any interim order.7In any case where the court, on an application made under this section with respect to a creditors’ decision, gives a direction under subsection (4)(b) or revokes or suspends an approval under subsection (4)(a) or (5), the court may give such supplemental directions as it thinks fit and, in particular, directions with respect to—athings done since the decision under any voluntary arrangement approved by the meeting, andbsuch things done since the decision as could not have been done if any interim order had been in force in relation to the debtor when they were done.8Except in pursuance of the preceding provisions of this section, the approval of a voluntary arrangement by a decision of the debtor's creditors pursuant to section 257 is not invalidated by any irregularity in relation to the creditors' decision procedure by which the decision was made.262A1If for the purpose of obtaining the approval of his creditors to a proposal for a voluntary arrangement, the debtor—amakes any false representation, orbfraudulently does, or omits to do, anything,he commits an offence.2Subsection (1) applies even if the proposal is not approved.3A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.262B1This section applies where a voluntary arrangement approved by a decision of the debtor's creditors pursuant to section 257 has taken effect.2If it appears to the nominee or supervisor that the debtor has been guilty of any offence in connection with the arrangement for which he is criminally liable, he shall forthwith—areport the matter to the Secretary of State, andbprovide the Secretary of State with such information and give the Secretary of State such access to and facilities for inspecting and taking copies of documents (being information or documents in his possession or under his control and relating to the matter in question) as the Secretary of State requires.3Where a prosecuting authority institutes criminal proceedings following any report under subsection (2), the nominee or, as the case may be, supervisor shall give the authority all assistance in connection with the prosecution which he is reasonably able to give.For this purpose, “prosecuting authority” means the Director of Public Prosecutions or the Secretary of State.4The court may, on the application of the prosecuting authority, direct a nominee or supervisor to comply with subsection (3) if he has failed to do so.262CFor the purposes of this Part, a voluntary arrangement approved by a decision of the debtor's creditors pursuant to section 257 comes to an end prematurely if, when it ceases to have effect, it has not been fully implemented in respect of all persons bound by the arrangement by virtue of section 260(2)(b)(i).2631This section applies where a voluntary arrangement approved by a decision of the debtor's creditors pursuant to section 257 has taken effect.2The person who is for the time being carrying out, in relation to the voluntary arrangement, the functions conferred by virtue of the approval on the nominee (or his replacement under section 256(3), 256A(4) or 258(3)) shall be known as the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement.3If the debtor, any of his creditors or any other person is dissatisfied by any act, omission or decision of the supervisor, he may apply to the court; and on such an application the court may—aconfirm, reverse or modify any act or decision of the supervisor,bgive him directions, orcmake such other order as it thinks fit.4The supervisor may apply to the court for directions in relation to any particular matter arising under the voluntary arrangement.5The court may, whenever—ait is expedient to appoint a person to carry out the functions of the supervisor, andbit is inexpedient, difficult or impracticable for an appointment to be made without the assistance of the court, make an order appointing a person who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner or authorised to act as supervisor, in relation to the voluntary arrangement, either in substitution for the existing supervisor or to fill a vacancy. ...6The power conferred by subsection (5) is exercisable so as to increase the number of persons exercising the functions of the supervisor or, where there is more than one person exercising those functions, so as to replace one or more of those persons.263A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Part IXCHAPTER A1263H1An individual may make an application to an adjudicator in accordance with this Chapter for a bankruptcy order to be made against him or her.2An individual may make a bankruptcy application only on the ground that the individual is unable to pay his or her debts.263I1An adjudicator has jurisdiction to determine a bankruptcy application only if—athe centre of the debtor's main interests is in England and Wales, orabthe centre of the debtor's main interests is in a member State (other than Denmark) and the debtor has an establishment in England and Wales, orb... the test in subsection (2) is met.2The test is that—athe debtor is domiciled in England and Wales, orbat any time in the period of three years ending with the day on which the application is made to the adjudicator, the debtor—ihas been ordinarily resident, or has had a place of residence, in England and Wales, oriihas carried on business in England and Wales.3The reference in subsection (2) to the debtor carrying on business includes—athe carrying on of business by a firm or partnership of which the debtor is a member, andbthe carrying on of business by an agent or manager for the debtor or for such a firm or partnership.4In this section, references to the centre of the debtor's main interests have the same meaning as in Article 3 of the EU Regulation.5In this section “establishment” has the same meaning as in Article 2(10) of the EU Regulation.263J1A bankruptcy application must include—asuch particulars of the debtor's creditors, debts and other liabilities, and assets, as may be prescribed, andbsuch other information as may be prescribed.2A bankruptcy application is not to be regarded as having been made unless any fee or deposit required in connection with the application by an order under section 415 has been paid to such person, and within such period, as may be prescribed.3A bankruptcy application may not be withdrawn.4A debtor must notify the adjudicator if, at any time before a bankruptcy order is made against the debtor or the adjudicator refuses to make such an order—athe debtor becomes able to pay his or her debts, orba bankruptcy petition has been presented to the court in relation to the debtor.263K1After receiving a bankruptcy application, an adjudicator must determine whether the following requirements are met—athe adjudicator had jurisdiction under section 263I to determine the application on the date the application was made,bthe debtor is unable to pay his or her debts at the date of the determination,cno bankruptcy petition is pending in relation to the debtor at the date of the determination, anddno bankruptcy order has been made in respect of any of the debts which are the subject of the application at the date of the determination.2If the adjudicator is satisfied that each of the requirements in subsection (1) are met, the adjudicator must make a bankruptcy order against the debtor.3If the adjudicator is not so satisfied, the adjudicator must refuse to make a bankruptcy order against the debtor.4The adjudicator must make a bankruptcy order against the debtor or refuse to make such an order before the end of the prescribed period (“the determination period”).263L1An adjudicator may at any time during the determination period request from the debtor information that the adjudicator considers necessary for the purpose of determining whether a bankruptcy order must be made.2The adjudicator may specify a date before which information requested under subsection (1) must be provided; but that date must not be after the end of the determination period.3If the rules so prescribe, a request under subsection (1) may include a request for information to be given orally.4The rules may make provision enabling or requiring an adjudicator to request information from persons of a prescribed description in prescribed circumstances.263M1This section applies where an adjudicator makes a bankruptcy order as a result of a bankruptcy application.2The order must be made in the prescribed form.3The adjudicator must—agive a copy of the order to the debtor, andbgive notice of the order to persons of such description as may be prescribed.263N1Where an adjudicator refuses to make a bankruptcy order on a bankruptcy application, the adjudicator must give notice to the debtor—agiving the reasons for the refusal, andbexplaining the effect of subsections (2) to (5).2If requested by the debtor before the end of the prescribed period, the adjudicator must review the information which was available to the adjudicator when the determination that resulted in the refusal was made.3Following a review under subsection (2) the adjudicator must—aconfirm the refusal to make a bankruptcy order, orbmake a bankruptcy order against the debtor.4Where the adjudicator confirms a refusal under subsection (3), the adjudicator must give notice to the debtor—agiving the reasons for the confirmation, andbexplaining the effect of subsection (5).5If the refusal is confirmed under subsection (3), the debtor may appeal against the refusal to the court before the end of the prescribed period.263O1It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to make any false representation or omission in—amaking a bankruptcy application to an adjudicator, orbproviding any information to an adjudicator in connection with a bankruptcy application.2It is an offence knowingly or recklessly to fail to notify an adjudicator of a matter in accordance with a requirement imposed by or under this Part.3It is immaterial for the purposes of an offence under this section whether or not a bankruptcy order is made as a result of the application.4It is not a defence in proceedings for an offence under this section that anything relied on, in whole or in part, as constituting the offence was done outside England and Wales.5Proceedings for an offence under this section may only be instituted—aby the Secretary of State, orbby or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.Chapter I2641A petition for a bankruptcy order to be made against an individual may be presented to the court in accordance with the

by, a voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual and approved under Part VIII, ordwhere a criminal bankruptcy order has been made against the individual, by the Official Petitioner or by any person specified in the order in pursuance of section 39(3)(b) of the Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973.2Subject to those provisions, the court may make a bankruptcy order on any such petition.2651A bankruptcy petition may be presented to the court under section 264(1)(a) only if—athe centre of the debtor's main interests is in England and Wales, orabthe centre of the debtor's main interests is in a member State (other than Denmark) and the debtor has an establishment in England and Wales, orb... the test in subsection (2) is met.2The test is that—athe debtor is domiciled in England and Wales, orbat any time in the period of three years ending with the day on which the petition is presented, the debtor—ihas been ordinarily resident, or has had a place of residence, in England and Wales, oriihas carried on business in England and Wales.3The reference in subsection (2) to the debtor carrying on business includes—athe carrying on of business by a firm or partnership of which the debtor is a member, andbthe carrying on of business by an agent or manager for the debtor or for such a firm or partnership.4In this section, references to the centre of the debtor's main interests have the same meaning as in Article 3 of the EU Regulation.5In this section “establishment” has the same meaning as in Article 2(10) of the EU Regulation.2661Where a bankruptcy petition relating to an individual is presented by a person who is entitled to present a petition under two or more paragraphs of section 264(1), the petition is to be treated for the purposes of this Part as a petition under such one of those paragraphs as may be specified in the petition.2A bankruptcy petition shall not be withdrawn without the leave of the court.3The court has a general power, if it appears to it appropriate to do so on the grounds that there has been a contravention of the rules or for any other reason, to dismiss a bankruptcy petition or to stay proceedings on such a petition; and, where it stays proceedings on a petition, it may do so on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.4Without prejudice to subsection (3), where a petition under section 264(1)(a) ... or (c) in respect of an individual is pending at a time when a criminal bankruptcy order is made against him, or is presented after such an order has been so made, the court may on the application of the Official Petitioner dismiss the petition if it appears to it appropriate to do so.2671A creditor’s petition must be in respect of one or more debts owed by the debtor, and the petitioning creditor or each of the petitioning creditors must be a person to whom the debt or (as the case may be) at least one of the debts is owed.2Subject to the next three sections, a creditor’s petition may be presented to the court in respect of a debt or debts only if, at the time the petition is presented—athe amount of the debt, or the aggregate amount of the debts, is equal to or exceeds the bankruptcy level,bthe debt, or each of the debts, is for a liquidated sum payable to the petitioning creditor, or one or more of the petitioning creditors, either immediately or at some certain, future time, and is unsecured,cthe debt, or each of the debts, is a debt which the debtor appears either to be unable to pay or to have no reasonable prospect of being able to pay, anddthere is no outstanding application to set aside a statutory demand served (under section 268 below) in respect of the debt or any of the debts.3A debt is not to be regarded for the purposes of subsection (2) as a debt for a liquidated sum by reason only that the amount of the debt is specified in a criminal bankruptcy order.4“The bankruptcy level” is £5,000 but the Secretary of State may by order in a statutory instrument substitute any amount specified in the order for that amount or (as the case may be) for the amount which by virtue of such an order is for the time being the amount of the bankruptcy level.5An order shall not be made under subsection (4) unless a draft of it has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament.2681For the purposes of section 267(2)(c), the debtor appears to be unable to pay a debt if, but only if, the debt is payable immediately and either—athe petitioning creditor to whom the debt is owed has served on the debtor a demand (known as “the statutory demand”) in the prescribed form requiring him to pay the debt or to secure or compound for it to the satisfaction of the creditor, at least 3 weeks have elapsed since the demand was served and the demand has been neither complied with nor set aside in accordance with the rules, orbexecution or other process issued in respect of the debt on a judgment or order of any court in favour of the petitioning creditor, or one or more of the petitioning creditors to whom the debt is owed, has been returned unsatisfied in whole or in part.2For the purposes of section 267(2)(c) the debtor appears to have no reasonable prospect of being able to pay a debt if, but only if, the debt is not immediately payable and—athe petitioning creditor to whom it is owed has served on the debtor a demand (also known as “the statutory demand”) in the prescribed form requiring him to establish to the satisfaction of the creditor that there is a reasonable prospect that the debtor will be able to pay the debt when it falls due,bat least 3 weeks have elapsed since the demand was served, andcthe demand has been neither complied with nor set aside in accordance with the rules.2691A debt which is the debt, or one of the debts, in respect of which a creditor’s petition is presented need not be unsecured if either—athe petition contains a statement by the person having the right to enforce the security that he is willing, in the event of a bankruptcy order being made, to give up his security for the benefit of all the bankrupt’s creditors, orbthe petition is expressed not to be made in respect of the secured part of the debt and contains a statement by that person of the estimated value at the date of the petition of the security for the secured part of the debt.2In a case falling within subsection (1)(b) the secured and unsecured parts of the debt are to be treated for the purposes of sections 267 to 270 as separate debts.270In the case of a creditor’s petition presented wholly or partly in respect of a debt which is the subject of a statutory demand under section 268, the petition may be presented before the end of the 3-week period there mentioned if there is a serious possibility that the debtor’s property or the value of any of his property will be significantly diminished during that period and the petition contains a statement to that effect.2711The court shall not make a bankruptcy order on a creditor’s petition unless it is satisfied that the debt, or one of the debts, in respect of which the petition was presented is either—aa debt which, having been payable at the date of the petition or having since become payable, has been neither paid nor secured or compounded for, orba debt which the debtor has no reasonable prospect of being able to pay when it falls due.2In a case in which the petition contains such a statement as is required by section 270, the court shall not make a bankruptcy order until at least 3 weeks have elapsed since the service of any statutory demand under section 268.3The court may dismiss the petition if it is satisfied that the debtor is able to pay all his debts or is satisfied—athat the debtor has made an offer to secure or compound for a debt in respect of which the petition is presented,bthat the acceptance of that offer would have required the dismissal of the petition, andcthat the offer has been unreasonably refused;and, in determining for the purposes of this subsection whether the debtor is able to pay all his debts, the court shall take into account his contingent and prospective liabilities.4In determining for the purposes of this section what constitutes a reasonable prospect that a debtor will be able to pay a debt when it falls due, it is to be assumed that the prospect given by the facts and other matters known to the creditor at the time he entered into the transaction resulting in the debt was a reasonable prospect.5Nothing in sections 267 to 271 prejudices the power of the court, in accordance with the rules, to authorise a creditor’s petition to be amended by the omission of any creditor or debt and to be proceeded with as if things done for the purposes of those sections had been done only by or in relation to the remaining creditors or debts.272. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .273. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . .2761The court shall not make a bankruptcy order on a petition under section 264(1)(c) (supervisor of, or person bound by, voluntary arrangement proposed and approved) unless it is satisfied—athat the debtor has failed to comply with his obligations under the voluntary arrangement, orbthat information which was false or misleading in any material particular or which contained material omissions—iwas contained in any statement of affairs or other document supplied by the debtor under Part VIII to any person, oriiwas otherwise made available by the debtor to his creditors in connection with a creditors' decision procedure instigated under that Part, orcthat the debtor has failed to do all such things as may for the purposes of the voluntary arrangement have been reasonably required of him by the supervisor of the arrangement.2Where a bankruptcy order is made on a petition under section 264(1)(c), any expenses properly incurred as expenses of the administration of the voluntary arrangement in question shall be a first charge on the bankrupt’s estate.2771Subject to section 266(3), the court shall make a bankruptcy order on a petition under section 264(1)(d) on production of a copy of the criminal bankruptcy order on which the petition is based.This does not apply if it appears to the court that the criminal bankruptcy order has been rescinded on appeal.2Subject to the provisions of this Part, the fact that an appeal is pending against any conviction by virtue of which a criminal bankruptcy order was made does not affect any proceedings on a petition under section 264(1)(d) based on that order.3For the purposes of this section, an appeal against a conviction is pending—ain any case, until the expiration of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of conviction;bif notice of appeal to the Court of Appeal is given during that period and during that period the appellant notifies the official receiver of it, until the determination of the appeal and thereafter for so long as an appeal to the Supreme Court is pending within the meaning of subsection (4).4For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) an appeal to the Supreme Court shall be treated as pending until any application for leave to appeal is disposed of and, if leave to appeal is granted, until the appeal is disposed of; and for the purposes of this subsection an application for leave to appeal shall be treated as disposed of at the expiration of the time within which it may be made, if it is not made within that time.Chapter IA278The bankruptcy of an individual against whom a bankruptcy order has been made—acommences with the day on which the order is made, andbcontinues until the individual is discharged under ... this Chapter.2791A bankrupt is discharged from bankruptcy at the end of the period of one year beginning with the date on which the bankruptcy commences.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3On the application of the official receiver or the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate, the court may order that the period specified in subsection (1) shall cease to run until—athe end of a specified period, orbthe fulfilment of a specified condition.4The court may make an order under subsection (3) only if satisfied that the bankrupt has failed or is failing to comply with an obligation under this Part.5In subsection (3)(b) “condition” includes a condition requiring that the court be satisfied of something.6In the case of an individual who is made bankrupt on a petition under section 264(1)(d)—asubsections (1) to (5) shall not apply, andbthe bankrupt is discharged from bankruptcy by an order of the court under section 280.7This section is without prejudice to any power of the court to annul a bankruptcy order.2801An application for an order of the court discharging an individual from bankruptcy in a case falling within section 279(6) may be made by the bankrupt at any time after the end of the period of 5 years beginning with the date on which the bankruptcy commences.2On an application under this section the court may—arefuse to discharge the bankrupt from bankruptcy,bmake an order discharging him absolutely, orcmake an order discharging him subject to such conditions with respect to any income which may subsequently become due to him, or with respect to property devolving upon him, or acquired by him, after his discharge, as may be specified in the order.3The court may provide for an order falling within subsection (2)(b) or (c) to have immediate effect or to have its effect suspended for such period, or until the fulfilment of such conditions (including a condition requiring the court to be satisfied as to any matter), as may be specified in the order.2811Subject as follows, where a bankrupt is discharged, the discharge releases him from all the bankruptcy debts, but has no effect—aon the functions (so far as they remain to be carried out) of the trustee of his estate, orbon the operation, for the purposes of the carrying out of those functions, of the provisions of this Part;and, in particular, discharge does not affect the right of any creditor of the bankrupt to prove in the bankruptcy for any debt from which the bankrupt is released.2Discharge does not affect the right of any secured creditor of the bankrupt to enforce his security for the payment of a debt from which the bankrupt is released.3Discharge does not release the bankrupt from any bankruptcy debt which he incurred in respect of, or forbearance in respect of which was secured by means of, any fraud or fraudulent breach of trust to which he was a party.4Discharge does not release the bankrupt from any liability in respect of a fine imposed for an offence or from any liability under a recognisance except, in the case of a penalty imposed for an offence under an enactment relating to the public revenue or of a recognisance, with the consent of the Treasury.4AIn subsection (4) the reference to a fine imposed for an offence includes a reference to — aa charge ordered to be paid under section 46 of the Sentencing Code (criminal courts charge), whether on conviction or otherwise;b a confiscation order under Part 2, 3 or 4 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.5Discharge does not, except to such extent and on such conditions as the court may direct, release the bankrupt from any bankruptcy debt which—aconsists in a liability to pay damages for negligence, nuisance or breach of a statutory, contractual or other duty, or to pay damages by virtue of Part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987, being in either case damages in respect of personal injuries to any person, orbarises under any order made in family proceedings or under a maintenance calculation made under the Child Support Act 1991. . ..6Discharge does not release the bankrupt from such other bankruptcy debts, not being debts provable in his bankruptcy, as are prescribed.7Discharge does not release any person other than the bankrupt from any liability (whether as partner or co-trustee of the bankrupt or otherwise) from which the bankrupt is released by the discharge, or from any liability as surety for the bankrupt or as a person in the nature of such a surety.8In this section—“family proceedings” means—a proceedings in the family court; andbfamily proceedings within the meaning of Part V of the Matrimonial and Family Proceedings Act 1984.“fine” means the same as in the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980; and“personal injuries” includes death and any disease or other impairment of a person’s physical or mental condition.281ASchedule 4A to this Act (bankruptcy restrictions order and bankruptcy restrictions undertaking) shall have effect.2821The court may annul a bankruptcy order if it at any time appears to the court—athat, on any grounds existing at the time the order was made, the order ought not to have been made, orbthat, to the extent required by the rules, the bankruptcy debts and the expenses of the bankruptcy have all, since the making of the order, been either paid or secured for to the satisfaction of the court.2The court may annul a bankruptcy order made against an individual on a petition under paragraph (a)... or (c) of section 264(1) or on a bankruptcy application if it at any time appears to the court, on an application by the Official Petitioner—athat the petition was pending or the application was ongoing at a time when a criminal bankruptcy order was made against the individual or was presented after such an order was so made, andbno appeal is pending (within the meaning of section 277) against the individual’s conviction of any offence by virtue of which the criminal bankruptcy order was made;and the court shall annul a bankruptcy order made on a petition under section 264(1)(d) if it at any time appears to the court that the criminal bankruptcy order on which the petition was based has been rescinded in consequence of an appeal.3The court may annul a bankruptcy order whether or not the bankrupt has been discharged from the bankruptcy.4Where the court annuls a bankruptcy order (whether under this section or under section 261 ... in Part VIII)—aany sale or other disposition of property, payment made or other thing duly done, under any provision in this Group of Parts, by or under the authority of the official receiver or a trustee of the bankrupt’s estate or by the court is valid, butbif any of the bankrupt’s estate is then vested, under any such provision, in such a trustee, it shall vest in such person as the court may appoint or, in default of any such appointment, revert to the bankrupt on such terms (if any) as the court may direct;and the court may include in its order such supplemental provisions as may be authorised by the rules.5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Chapter II2831Subject as follows, a bankrupt’s estate for the purposes of any of this Group of Parts comprises—aall property belonging to or vested in the bankrupt at the commencement of the bankruptcy, andbany property which by virtue of any of the following provisions of this Part is comprised in that estate or is treated as falling with the preceding paragraph.2Subsection (1) does not apply to—asuch tools, books, vehicles and other items of equipment as are necessary to the bankrupt for use personally by him in his employment, business or vocation;bsuch clothing, bedding, furniture, household equipment and provisions as are necessary for satisfying the basic domestic needs of the bankrupt and his family.This subsection is subject to section 308 in Chapter IV (certain excluded property reclaimable by trustee).3Subsection (1) does not apply to—aproperty held by the bankrupt on trust for any other person, orbthe right of nomination to a vacant ecclesiastical benefice.3ASubject to section 308A in Chapter IV, subsection (1) does not apply to—aa tenancy which is an assured tenancy or an assured agricultural occupancy, within the meaning of Part I of the Housing Act 1988, and the terms of which inhibit an assignment as mentioned in section 127(5) of the Rent Act 1977, oraaa standard contract within the meaning of section 8 of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (anaw 1) and the terms of which inhibit an assignment as mentioned in section 127(5) of the Rent Act 1977 (c. 42), orba protected tenancy, within the meaning of the Rent Act 1977, in respect of which, by virtue of any provision of Part IX of that Act, no premium can lawfully be required as a condition of assignment, orca tenancy of a dwelling-house by virtue of which the bankrupt is, within the meaning of the Rent (Agriculture) Act 1976, a protected occupier of the dwelling-house, and the terms of which inhibit an assignment as mentioned in section 127(5) of the Rent Act 1977, orda secure tenancy, within the meaning of Part IV of the Housing Act 1985, which is not capable of being assigned, except in the cases mentioned in section 91(3) of that Act , or ea secure contract within the meaning of section 8 of the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (anaw 1) which is not capable of being assigned, except—iin the cases mentioned in section 251 (family property order) of that Act,iiin accordance with section 92 (assignment by way of exchange) of the Housing Act 1985 (c. 68), oriiito a person who would be qualified to succeed the contract-holder if the contract-holder died immediately before the assignment.4References in any of this Group of Parts to property, in relation to a bankrupt, include references to any power exercisable by him over or in respect of property except in so far as the power is exercisable over or in respect of property not for the time being comprised in the bankrupt’s estate and—ais so exercisable at a time after either the official receiver has had his release in respect of that estate under section 299(2) in chapter III or the trustee of that estate has vacated office under section 298(8), orbcannot be so exercised for the benefit of the bankrupt;and a power exercisable over or in respect of property is deemed for the purposes of any of this Group of Parts to vest in the person entitled to exercise it at the time of the transaction or event by virtue of which it is exercisable by that person (whether or not it becomes so exercisable at that time).5For the purposes of any such provision in this Group of Parts, property comprised in a bankrupt’s estate is so comprised subject to the rights of any person other than the bankrupt (whether as a secured creditor of the bankrupt or otherwise) in relation thereto, but disregarding—aany rights in relation to which a statement such as is required by section 269(1)(a) was made in the petition on which the bankrupt was made bankrupt, andbany rights which have been otherwise given up in accordance with the rules.6This section has effect subject to the provisions of any enactment not contained in this Act under which any property is to be excluded from a bankrupt’s estate.283A1This section applies where property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate consists of an interest in a dwelling-house which at the date of the bankruptcy was the sole or principal residence of—athe bankrupt,bthe bankrupt’s spouse or civil partner, orca former spouse or former civil partner of the bankrupt.2At the end of the period of three years beginning with the date of the bankruptcy the interest mentioned in subsection (1) shall—acease to be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate, andbvest in the bankrupt (without conveyance, assignment or transfer).3Subsection (2) shall not apply if during the period mentioned in that subsection—athe trustee realises the interest mentioned in subsection (1),bthe trustee applies for an order for sale in respect of the dwelling-house,cthe trustee applies for an order for possession of the dwelling-house,dthe trustee applies for an order under section 313 in Chapter IV in respect of that interest, orethe trustee and the bankrupt agree that the bankrupt shall incur a specified liability to his estate (with or without the addition of interest from the date of the agreement) in consideration of which the interest mentioned in subsection (1) shall cease to form part of the estate.4Where an application of a kind described in subsection (3)(b) to (d) is made during the period mentioned in subsection (2) and is dismissed, unless the court orders otherwise the interest to which the application relates shall on the dismissal of the application—acease to be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate, andbvest in the bankrupt (without conveyance, assignment or transfer).5If the bankrupt does not inform the trustee or the official receiver of his interest in a property before the end of the period of three months beginning with the date of the bankruptcy, the period of three years mentioned in subsection (2)—ashall not begin with the date of the bankruptcy, butbshall begin with the date on which the trustee or official receiver becomes aware of the bankrupt’s interest.6The court may substitute for the period of three years mentioned in subsection (2) a longer period—ain prescribed circumstances, andbin such other circumstances as the court thinks appropriate.7The rules may make provision for this section to have effect with the substitution of a shorter period for the period of three years mentioned in subsection (2) in specified circumstances (which may be described by reference to action to be taken by a trustee in bankruptcy).8The rules may also, in particular, make provision—arequiring or enabling the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate to give notice that this section applies or does not apply;babout the effect of a notice under paragraph (a);crequiring the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate to make an application to the Chief Land Registrar.9Rules under subsection (8)(b) may, in particular—adisapply this section;benable a court to disapply this section;cmake provision in consequence of a disapplication of this section;denable a court to make provision in consequence of a disapplication of this section;emake provision (which may include provision conferring jurisdiction on a court or tribunal) about compensation.2841Where a person is made bankrupt, any disposition of property made by that person in the period to which this section applies is void except to the extent that it is or was made with the consent of the court, or is or was subsequently ratified by the court.2Subsection (1) applies to a payment (whether in cash or otherwise) as it applies to a disposition of property and, accordingly, where any payment is void by virtue of that subsection, the person paid shall hold the sum paid for the bankrupt as part of his estate.3This section applies to the period beginning with the day of the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition and ending with the vesting, under Chapter IV of this Part, of the bankrupt’s estate in a trustee.4The preceding provisions of this section do not give a remedy against any person—ain respect of any property or payment which he received before the commencement of the bankruptcy in good faith, for value and without notice that the bankruptcy application had been made or (as the case may be) that the bankruptcy petition had been presented, orbin respect of any interest in property which derives from an interest in respect of which there is, by virtue of this subsection, no remedy.5Where after the commencement of his bankruptcy the bankrupt has incurred a debt to a banker or other person by reason of the making of a payment which is void under this section, that debt is deemed for the purposes of any of this Group of Parts to have been incurred before the commencement of the bankruptcy unless—athat banker or person had notice of the bankruptcy before the debt was incurred, orbit is not reasonably practicable for the amount of the payment to be recovered from the person to whom it was made.6A disposition of property is void under this section notwithstanding that the property is not or, as the case may be, would not be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate; but nothing in this section affects any disposition made by a person of property held by him on trust for any other person.2851At any time when proceedings on a bankruptcy application are ongoing or proceedings on a bankruptcy petition are pending or an individual has been made bankrupt the court may stay any action, execution or other legal process against the property or person of the debtor or, as the case may be, of the bankrupt.2Any court in which proceedings are pending against any individual may, on proof that a bankruptcy application has been made or a bankruptcy petition has been presented in respect of that individual or that he is an undischarged bankrupt, either stay the proceedings or allow them to continue on such terms as it thinks fit.3After the making of a bankruptcy order no person who is a creditor of the bankrupt in respect of a debt provable in the bankruptcy shall—ahave any remedy against the property or person of the bankrupt in respect of that debt, orbbefore the discharge of the bankrupt, commence any action or other legal proceedings against the bankrupt except with the leave of the court and on such terms as the court may impose.This is subject to sections 346 (enforcement procedures) and 347 (limited right to distress).4Subject as follows, subsection (3) does not affect the right of a secured creditor of the bankrupt to enforce his security.5Where any goods of an undischarged bankrupt are held by any person by way of pledge, pawn or other security, the official receiver may, after giving notice in writing of his intention to do so, inspect the goods.Where such a notice has been given to any person, that person is not entitled, without leave of the court, to realise his security unless he has given the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate a reasonable opportunity of inspecting the goods and of exercising the bankrupt’s right of redemption.6References in this section to the property or goods of the bankrupt are to any of his property or goods, whether or not comprised in his estate.2861The court may, if it is shown to be necessary for the protection of the debtor’s property, at any time after the presentation of a bankruptcy petition and before making a bankruptcy order, appoint the official receiver or an insolvency practitioner to be interim receiver of the debtor’s property.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3The court may by an order appointing any person to be an interim receiver direct that his powers shall be limited or restricted in any respect; but, save as so directed, an interim receiver has, in relation to the debtor’s property, all the rights, powers, duties and immunities given by the next section.4An order of the court appointing any person to be an interim receiver shall require that person to take immediate possession of the debtor’s property or, as the case may be, the part of it to which his powers as interim receiver are limited.5Where an interim receiver has been appointed, the debtor shall give him such inventory of his property and such other information, and shall attend on the interim receiver at such times, as the latter may for the purpose of carrying out his functions under this section reasonably require.6Where an interim receiver is appointed, section 285(3) applies for the period between the appointment and the making of a bankruptcy order on the petition, or the dismissal of the petition, as if the appointment were the making of such an order.7A person ceases to be interim receiver of a debtor’s property if the bankruptcy petition relating to the debtor is dismissed, if a bankruptcy order is made on the petition or if the court by order otherwise terminates the appointment.8References in this section to the debtor’s property are to all his property, whether or not it would be comprised in his estate if he were made bankrupt.2871An interim receiver appointed under section 286 is the receiver and (subject to section 370 (special manager)) the manager of the debtor's property and is under a duty to act as such.2The function of an interim receiver while acting as receiver or manager of the debtor's property under this section is to protect the property; and for this purpose—ahe has the same powers as if he were a receiver or manager appointed by the High Court, andbhe is entitled to sell or otherwise dispose of any perishable goods comprised in the property and any other goods so comprised the value of which is likely to diminish if they are not disposed of.3An interim receiver while acting as receiver or manager of the debtor's property under this section—ashall take all such steps as he thinks fit for protecting the debtor's property, bis not required to do anything that involves his incurring expenditure, except in pursuance of directions given by—ithe Secretary of State, where the official receiver is the interim receiver, oriithe court, in any other case,cmay, if he thinks fit (and shall, if so directed by the court) at any time seek a decision on a matter from the debtor's creditors.4Where—aan interim receiver acting as receiver or manager of the debtor's property under this section seizes or disposes of any property which is not the debtor's property, andbat the time of the seizure or disposal the interim receiver believes, and has reasonable grounds for believing, that he is entitled (whether in pursuance of an order of the court or otherwise) to seize or dispose of that property,the interim receiver is not to be liable to any person in respect of any loss or damage resulting from the seizure or disposal except in so far as that loss or damage is caused by his negligence; and he has a lien on the property, or the proceeds of its sale, for such of the expenses of the interim receivership as were incurred in connection with the seizure or disposal.5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2881Where a bankruptcy order has been made otherwise than on a bankruptcy application, the official receiver may at any time before the discharge of the bankrupt require the bankrupt to submit to the official receiver a statement of affairs.2The statement of affairs shall contain—asuch particulars of the bankrupt’s creditors and of his debts and other liabilities and of his assets as may be prescribed, andbsuch other information as may be prescribed.2AWhere a bankrupt is required under subsection (1) to submit a statement of affairs to the official receiver, the bankrupt shall do so (subject to subsection (3)) before the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the prescribed notice of the requirement is given to the bankrupt by the official receiver.3The official receiver may, if he thinks fit—arelease a bankrupt from an obligation imposed on the bankrupt under subsection (1), orbeither when giving the notice mentioned in subsection (2A) or subsequently, extend the period mentioned in that subsection,and where the official receiver has refused to exercise a power conferred by this section, the court, if it thinks fit, may exercise it.4A bankrupt who—awithout reasonable excuse fails to comply with an obligation imposed under his section, orbwithout reasonable excuse submits a statement of affairs that does not comply with the prescribed requirements,is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly (in addition to any other punishment to which he may be subject).2891The official receiver shall—ainvestigate the conduct and affairs of each bankrupt (including his conduct and affairs before the making of the bankruptcy order), andbmake such report (if any) to the court as the official receiver thinks fit.2Subsection (1) shall not apply to a case in which the official receiver thinks an investigation under that subsection unnecessary.3Where a bankrupt makes an application for discharge under section 280—athe official receiver shall make a report to the court about such matters as may be prescribed, andbthe court shall consider the report before determining the application.4A report by the official receiver under this section shall in any proceedings be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in it.2901Where a bankruptcy order has been made, the official receiver may at any time before the discharge of the bankrupt apply to the court for the public examination of the bankrupt.2Unless the court otherwise orders, the official receiver shall make an application under subsection (1) if notice requiring him to do so is given to him, in accordance with the rules, by one of the bankrupt’s creditors with the concurrence of not less than one-half, in value, of those creditors (including the creditor giving notice).3On an application under subsection (1), the court shall direct that a public examination of the bankrupt shall be held on a day appointed by the court; and the bankrupt shall attend on that day and be publicly examined as to his affairs, dealings and property.4The following may take part in the public examination of the bankrupt and may question him concerning his affairs, dealings and property and the causes of his failure, namely—athe official receiver and, in the case of an individual made bankrupt on a petition under section 264(1)(d), the Official Petitioner,bthe trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, if his appointment has taken effect,cany person who has been appointed as special manager of the bankrupt’s estate or business,dany creditor of the bankrupt who has tendered a proof in the bankruptcy.5If a bankrupt without reasonable excuse fails at any time to attend his public examination under this section he is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly (in addition to any other punishment to which he may be subject).2911. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

reasonably require—afor a purpose of this Chapter, orbin connection with the making of a bankruptcy restrictions order.5Subsection (4) applies to a bankrupt after his discharge.6If the bankrupt without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed by this section, he is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly (in addition to any other punishment to which he may be subject).Chapter III291A1On the making of a bankruptcy order the official receiver becomes trustee of the bankrupt's estate, unless the court appoints another person under subsection (2).2If when the order is made there is a supervisor of a voluntary arrangement approved in relation to the bankrupt under Part 8, the court may on making the order appoint the supervisor of the arrangement as the trustee.3Where a person becomes trustee of a bankrupt's estate under this section, the person must give notice of that fact to the bankrupt's creditors (or, if the court so allows, advertise it in accordance with the court's directions).4A notice or advertisement given by a trustee appointed under subsection (2) must explain the procedure for establishing a creditors' committee under section 301.2921This section applies to any appointment of a person (other than the official receiver) as trustee of a bankrupt's estate.2No person may be appointed as trustee of a bankrupt’s estate unless he is, at the time of the appointment, qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the bankrupt.3Any power to appoint a person as trustee of a bankrupt’s estate includes power to appoint two or more persons as joint trustees; but such an appointment must make provision as to the circumstances in which the trustees must act together and the circumstances in which one or more of them may act for the others.4The appointment of any person as trustee takes effect only if that person accepts the appointment in accordance with the rules. Subject to this, the appointment of any person as trustee takes effect at the time specified in his certificate of appointment.5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .293. . .

time when the official receiver is the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate by virtue of any provision of this Chapter ... he may apply to the Secretary of State for the appointment of a person as trustee instead of the official receiver.2On an application under subsection (1) the Secretary of State shall either make an appointment or decline to make one.3Such an application may be made notwithstanding that the Secretary of State has declined to make an appointment either on a previous application under subsection (1) ... or under section 300(4) below.4Where the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate has been appointed by the Secretary of State (whether under this section or otherwise), the trustee shall give notice to the bankrupt’s creditors of his appointment or, if the court so allows, shall advertise his appointment in accordance with the court’s directions.5In that notice or advertisement the trustee shall explain the procedure for establishing a creditors' committee under section 301.297. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2981Subject as follows, the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate may be removed from office only by an order of the court or by a decision of the bankrupt's creditors made by a creditors' decision procedure instigated specially for that purpose in accordance with the rules.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4Where the official receiver is trustee by virtue of section 291A(1) or a trustee is appointed by the Secretary of State or (otherwise than under section 291A(2)) by the court, a creditors' decision procedure may be instigated for the purpose of removing the trustee only if—athe trustee thinks fit, orbthe court so directs, orc... one of the bankrupt’s creditors so requests, with the concurrence of not less than one-quarter, in value, of the creditors (including the creditor making the request).4AWhere the bankrupt's creditors decide to remove a trustee, they may in accordance with the rules appoint another person as trustee in his place.4BWhere the decision to remove a trustee is made under subsection (4), the decision does not take effect until the bankrupt's creditors appoint another person as trustee in his place.5If the trustee was appointed by the Secretary of State, he may be removed by a direction of the Secretary of State.6The trustee (not being the official receiver) shall vacate office if he ceases to be a person who is for the time being qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the bankrupt.7The trustee may, in the prescribed circumstances, resign his office by giving notice of his resignation to the prescribed person.8The trustee shall vacate office on giving notice to the prescribed person that the trustee has given notice under section 331(2).8AA notice under subsection (8)—amust not be given before the end of the period prescribed by the rules as the period within which the bankrupt's creditors may object to the trustee's release, andbmust state whether any of the bankrupt's creditors objected to the trustee's release.9The trustee shall vacate office if the bankruptcy order is annulled.2991Where the official receiver has ceased to be the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate and a person is appointed in his stead, the official receiver shall have his release with effect from the following time, that is to say—awhere that person is appointed by ... the bankrupt’s creditors or by the Secretary of State, the time at which the official receiver gives notice under this paragraph to the prescribed person that he has been replaced, andbwhere that person is appointed by the court, such time as the court may determine.2If the official receiver while he is the trustee gives notice to the Secretary of State that the administration of the bankrupt’s estate in accordance with Chapter IV of this Part is for practical purposes complete, he shall have his release with effect from such time as the Secretary of State may determine.3A person other than the official receiver who has ceased to be the trustee shall have his release with effect from the following time, that is to say—ain the following cases, the time at which notice is given to the prescribed person in accordance with the rules that that person has ceased to hold office —ithe person has been removed from office by a decision of the bankrupt's creditors and the creditors have not decided against his release,iithe person has died; bin the following cases, such time as the Secretary of State may, on an application by the person, determine—ithe person has been removed from office by a decision of the bankrupt's creditors and the creditors have decided against his release,iithe person has been removed from office by the court or by the Secretary of State,iiithe person has vacated office under section 298(6);cin the case of a person who has resigned, such time as may be prescribed;din the case of a person who has vacated office under section 298(8)—iif any of the bankrupt's creditors objected to the person's release before the end of the period for so objecting prescribed by the rules, such time as the Secretary of State may, on an application by that person, determine, andiiotherwise, the time at which the person vacated office.3AWhere the person is removed from office by a decision of the bankrupt's creditors, any decision of the bankrupt's creditors as to whether the person should have his release must be made by a creditors' decision procedure.4Where a bankruptcy order is annulled, the trustee at the time of the annulment has his release with effect from such time as the court may determine.5Where the offical receiver or the trustee has his release under this section, he shall, with effect from the time specified in the preceeding provisions of this section, be discharged from all liability both in respect of acts or omissions of his in the administration of the estate and otherwise in relation to his conduct as trustee.But nothing in this section prevents the exercise, in relation to a person who has had his release under this section, of the court’s powers under section 304.3001This section applies where the appointment of any person as trustee of a bankrupt’s estate fails to take effect or, such an appointment having taken effect, there is otherwise a vacancy in the office of trustee.2The official receiver shall be trustee until the vacancy is filled.3The official receiver may ask the bankrupt's creditors to appoint a person as trustee, and must do so if so requested by not less than one tenth in value of the bankrupt's creditors.3AIf the official receiver makes such a request the bankrupt's creditors may in accordance with the rules appoint a person as trustee.4If at the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which the vacancy first came to the offical receiver’s attention he has not asked, and is not proposing to ask, the bankrupt's creditors to appoint a person as trustee, he shall refer the need for an appointment to the Secretary of State.5. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6On a reference to the Secretary of State under subsection (4) . . . the Secretary of State shall either make an appointment or decline to make one.7If on a reference under subsection (4) . . . no appointment is made, the official receiver shall continue to be trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, but without prejudice to his power to make a further reference.8References in this section to a vacancy include a case where it is necessary, in relation to any property which is or may be comprised in a bankrupt’s estate, to revive the trusteeship of that estate after the vacation of office by the trustee under section 298(8) or the giving by the official receiver of notice under section 299(2).3011Subject as follows, a bankrupt's creditors may, in accordance with the rules, establish a committee (known as “the creditors’ committee”) to exercise the functions conferred on it by or under this Act.2The bankrupt’s creditors shall not establish such a committee, or confer any functions on such a committee, at any time when the official receiver is the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, except in connection with the appointment of a person to be trustee instead of the official receiver.3021The creditors’ committee is not to be able or required to carry out its functions at any time when the official receiver is trustee of the bankrupt’s estate; but at any such time the functions of the committee under this Act shall be vested in the Secretary of State, except to the extent that the rules otherwise provide.2Where in the case of any bankruptcy there is for the time being no creditors’ committee and the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate is a person other than the official receiver, the functions of such a committee shall be vested in the Secretary of State, except to the extent that the rules otherwise provide.3031If a bankrupt or any of his creditors or any other person is dissatisfied by any act, omission or decision of a trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, he may apply to the court; and on such an application the court may confirm, reverse or modify any act or decision of the trustee, may give him directions or may make such other order as it thinks fit.2The trustee of a bankrupt’s estate may apply to the court for directions in relation to any particular matter arising under the bankruptcy.2AWhere at any time after a bankruptcy petition has been presented to the court against any person, whether under the provisions of the Insolvent Partnerships Order 1994 or not, the attention of the court is drawn to the fact that the person in question is a member of an insolvent partnership, the court may make an order as to the future conduct of the insolvency proceedings and any such order may apply any provisions of that Order with any necessary modifications.2BWhere a bankruptcy petition has been presented against more than one individual in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (2A) above, the court may give such directions for consolidating the proceedings, or any of them, as it thinks just.2CAny order or directions under subsection (2A) or (2B) may be made or given on the application of the official receiver, any responsible insolvency practitioner, the trustee of the partnership or any other interested person and may include provisions as to the administration of the joint estate of the partnership, and in particular how it and the separate estate of any member are to be administered.3041Where on an application under this section the court is satisfied—athat the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate has misapplied or retained, or become accountable for, any money or other property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate, orbthat a bankrupt’s estate has suffered any loss in consequence of any misfeasance or breach of fiduciary or other duty by a trustee of the estate in the carrying out of his functions,the court may order the trustee, for the benefit of the estate, to repay, restore or account for money or other property (together with interest at such rate as the court thinks just) or, as the case may require, to pay such sum by way of compensation in respect of the misfeasance or breach of fiduciary or other duty as the court thinks just.This is without prejudice to any liability arising apart from this section.2An application under this section may be made by the official receiver, the Secretary of State, a creditor of the bankrupt or (whether or not there is, or is likely to be, a surplus for the purposes of section 330(5) (final distribution)) the bankrupt himself.But the leave of the court is required for the making of an application if it is to be made by the bankrupt or if it is to be made after the trustee has had his release under section 299.3Where—athe trustee seizes or disposes of any property which is not comprised in the bankrupts estate, andbat the time of the seizure or disposal the trustee believes, and has reasonable grounds for believing, that he is entitled (whether in pursuance of an order of the court or otherwise) to seize or dispose of that property,the trustee is not liable to any person (whether under this section or otherwise) in respect of any loss or damage resulting from the seizure or disposal except in so far as that loss or damage is caused by the negligence of the trustee; and he has a lien on the property, or the proceeds of its sale, for such of the expenses of the bankruptcy as were incurred in connection with the seizure or disposal.Chapter IV3051This Chapter applies in relation to any bankruptcy where either—athe appointment of a person as trustee of a bankrupt’s estate takes effect, orbthe official receiver becomes trustee of a bankrupt’s estate.2The function of the trustee is to get in, realise and distribute the bankrupt’s estate in accordance with the following provisions of this Chapter; and in the carrying out of that function and in the management of the bankrupt’s estate the trustee is entitled, subject to those provisions, to use his own discretion.3It is the duty of the trustee, if he is not the official receiver—ato furnish the official receiver with such information,bto produce to the offical receiver, and permit inspection by the official receiver of, such books, papers and other records, andcto give the official receiver such other assistance,as the official receiver may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling him to carry out his functions in relation to the bankruptcy.4The official name of the trustee shall be “the trustee of the estate of ............, a bankrupt” (inserting the name of the bankrupt); but he may be referred to as “the trustee in bankruptcy” of the particular bankrupt.3061The bankrupt’s estate shall vest in the trustee immediately on his appointment taking effect or, in the case of the official receiver, on his becoming trustee.2Where any property which is, or is to be, comprised in the bankrupt’s estate vests in the trustee (whether under this section or under any other provision of this Part), it shall so vest without any conveyance, assignment or transfer.306A1This section applies where—aproperty is excluded from the bankrupt’s estate by virtue of section 417(2)(a) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (property subject to a restraint order),ban order under section 50, 67A, 128, 131A, 198 or 215A of that Act has not been made in respect of the property, ...cthe restraint order is discharged , anddimmediately after the discharge of the restraint order the property is not detained under or by virtue of section 44A, 47J, 122A, 127J, 193A or 195J of that Act.2The property vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt's estate.3But subsection (2) does not apply to the proceeds of property realised by a management receiver under section 49(2)(d) or 197(2)(d) of that Act (realisation of property to meet receiver’s remuneration and expenses).306AA1This section applies where—aproperty is excluded from the bankrupt's estate by virtue of section 417(2)(b) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (property detained under certain provisions),bno order is in force in respect of the property under section 41, 50, 120, 128, 190 or 198 of that Act, andcthe property is released.2The property vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt's estate.306B1This section applies where—aproperty is excluded from the bankrupt’s estate by virtue of section 417(2)(c) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (property in respect of which an order for the appointment of a receiver or administrator under certain provisions of that Act is in force),ba confiscation order is made under section 6, 92 or 156 of that Act,cthe amount payable under the confiscation order is fully paid, anddany of the property remains in the hands of the receiver or administrator (as the case may be).2The property vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt’s estate.306BA1This section applies where—aproperty is excluded from the bankrupt's estate by virtue of section 417(2)(d) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (property in respect of which an order has been made authorising realisation of the property by an appropriate officer),ba confiscation order is made under section 6, 92 or 156 of that Act,cthe amount payable under the confiscation order is fully paid, anddany of the property remains in the hands of the appropriate officer.2The property vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt's estate.306C1This section applies where—aproperty is excluded from the bankrupt’s estate by virtue of section 417(2)(a), (b), (c) or (d) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (property excluded from bankrupt's estate ),ba confiscation order is made under section 6, 92 or 156 of that Act, andcthe confiscation order is discharged under section 30, 114 or 180 of that Act (as the case may be) or quashed under that Act or in pursuance of any enactment relating to appeals against conviction or sentence.2Any such property vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt's estate if it is in the hands of—aa receiver appointed under Part 2 or 4 of that Act,ban administrator appointed under Part 3 of that Act,can appropriate officer (within the meaning of section 41A, 120A or 190A of that Act).3But subsection (2) does not apply to the proceeds of property realised by a management receiver under section 49(2)(d) or 197(2)(d) of that Act (realisation of property to meet receiver’s remuneration and expenses).3071Subject to this section and section 309, the trustee may by notice in writing claim for the bankrupt’s estate any property which has been acquired by, or has devolved upon, the bankrupt since the commencement of the bankruptcy.2A notice under this section shall not be served in respect of—aany property falling within subsection (2) or (3) of section 283 in Chapter II,aaany property vesting in the bankrupt by virtue of section 283A in Chapter II,bany property which by virtue of any other enactment is excluded from the bankrupt’s estate, orcwithout prejudice to section 280(2)(c) (order of court on application for discharge), any property which is acquired by, or devolves upon, the bankrupt after his discharge.3 Subject to subsections (4) and (4A) , upon the service on the bankrupt of a notice under this section the property to which the notice relates shall vest in the trustee as part of the bankrupt’s estate; and the trustee’s title to that property has relation back to the time at which the property was acquired by, or devolved upon, the bankrupt.4Where, whether before or after service on the bankrupt of a notice under this section—aa person acquires property in good faith, for value and without notice of the bankruptcy, ...b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .the trustee is not in respect of that property ... entitled by virtue of this section to any remedy against that person ..., or any person whose title to any property derives from that person ....4AWhere a banker enters into a transaction before service on the banker of a notice under this section (and whether before or after service on the bankrupt of a notice under this section) the trustee is not in respect of that transaction entitled by virtue of this section to any remedy against the banker.This subsection applies whether or not the banker has notice of the bankruptcy.5References in this section to property do not include any property which, as part of the bankrupt’s income, may be the subject of an income payments order under section 310.3081Subject to section 309, where—aproperty is excluded by virtue of section 283(2) (tools of trade, household effects, etc.) from the bankrupt’s estate, andbit appears to the trustee that the realisable value of the whole or any part of that property exceeds the cost of a reasonable replacement for that property or that part of it,the trustee may by notice in writing claim that property or, as the case may be, that part of it, for the bankrupt’s estate.2Upon the service on the bankrupt of a notice under this section, the property to which the notice relates vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt’s estate; and, except against a purchaser in good faith, for value and without notice of the bankruptcy, the trustee’s title to that property has relation back to the commencement of the bankruptcy.3The trustee shall apply funds comprised in the estate to the purchase by or on behalf of the bankrupt of a reasonable replacement for any property vested in the trustee under this section; and the duty imposed by this subsection has priority over the obligation of the trustee to distribute the estate.4For the purposes of this section property is a reasonable replacement for other property if it is reasonably adequate for meeting the needs met by the other property.308AUpon the service on the bankrupt by the trustee of a notice in writing under this section, any tenancy—awhich is excluded by virtue of section 283(3A) from the bankrupt’s estate, andbto which the notice relates,vests in the trustee as part of the bankrupt’s estate; and, except against a purchaser in good faith, for value and without notice of the bankruptcy, the trustee’s title to that tenancy has relation back to the commencement of the bankruptcy.3091Except with the leave of the court, a notice shall not be served—aunder section 307, after the end of the period of 42 days beginning with the day on which it first came to the knowledge of the trustee that property in question had been acquired by, or had devolved upon, the bankrupt;bunder section 308 or section 308A, after the end of the period of 42 days beginning with the day on which the property or tenancy in question first came to the knowledge of the trustee.2For the purposes of this section—aany thing which comes to the knowledge of the trustee is deemed in relation to any successor of his as trustee to have come to the knowledge of the sucessor at the same time; andbany thing which comes (otherwise than under paragraph (a)) to the knowledge of a person before he is the trustee is deemed to come to his knowledge on his appointment taking effect or, in the case of the official receiver, on his becoming trustee.3101The court may . . . make an order (“an income payments order”) claiming for the bankrupt’s estate so much of the income of the bankrupt during the period for which the order is in force as may be specified in the order.1AAn income payments order may be made only on an application instituted—aby the trustee, andbbefore the discharge of the bankrupt.2The court shall not make an income payments order the effect of which would be to reduce the income of the bankrupt when taken together with any payments to which subsection (8) applies below what appears to the court to be necessary for meeting the reasonable domestic needs of the bankrupt and his family.3An income payments order shall, in respect of any payment of income to which it is to apply, either—arequire the bankrupt to pay the trustee an amount equal to so much of that payment as is claimed by the order, orbrequire the person making the payment to pay so much of it as is so claimed to the trustee, instead of to the bankrupt.4Where the court makes an income payments order it may, if it thinks fit, discharge or vary any attachment of earnings order that is for the time being in force to secure payments by the bankrupt.5Sums received by the trustee under an income payments order form part of the bankrupt’s estate.6An income payments order must specify the period during which it is to have effect; and that period—amay end after the discharge of the bankrupt, butbmay not end after the period of three years beginning with the date on which the order is made.6AAn income payments order may (subject to subsection (6)(b)) be varied on the application of the trustee or the bankrupt (whether before or after discharge).7For the purposes of this section the income of the bankrupt comprises every payment in the nature of income which is from time to time made to him or to which he from time to time becomes entitled, including any payment in respect of the carrying on of any business or in respect of any office or employment and (despite anything in section 11 or 12 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999) any payment under a pension scheme but excluding any payment to which subsection (8) applies..8This subsection applies to—apayments by way of guaranteed minimum pension; ...b. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9In this section, “guaranteed minimum pension” has the same meaning as in the Pension Schemes Act 1993.310A1In this section “income payments agreement” means a written agreement between a bankrupt and his trustee or between a bankrupt and the official receiver which provides—athat the bankrupt is to pay to the trustee or the official receiver an amount equal to a specified part or proportion of the bankrupt’s income for a specified period, orbthat a third person is to pay to the trustee or the official receiver a specified proportion of money due to the bankrupt by way of income for a specified period.2A provision of an income payments agreement of a kind specified in subsection (1)(a) or (b) may be enforced as if it were a provision of an income payments order.3While an income payments agreement is in force the court may, on the application of the bankrupt, his trustee or the official receiver, discharge or vary an attachment of earnings order that is for the time being in force to secure payments by the bankrupt.4The following provisions of section 310 shall apply to an income payments agreement as they apply to an income payments order—asubsection (5) (receipts to form part of estate), andbsubsections (7) to (9) (meaning of income).5An income payments agreement must specify the period during which it is to have effect; and that period—amay end after the discharge of the bankrupt, butbmay not end after the period of three years beginning with the date on which the agreement is made.6An income payments agreement may (subject to subsection (5)(b)) be varied—aby written agreement between the parties, orbby the court on an application made by the bankrupt, the trustee or the official receiver.7The court—amay not vary an income payments agreement so as to include provision of a kind which could not be included in an income payments order, andbshall grant an application to vary an income payments agreement if and to the extent that the court thinks variation necessary to avoid the effect mentioned in section 310(2).3111The trustee shall take possession of all books, papers and other records which relate to the bankrupt’s estate or affairs and which belong to him or are in his possession or under his control (including any which would be privileged from disclosure in any proceedings).2In relation to, and for the purpose of acquiring or retaining possession of, the bankrupt’s estate, the trustee is in the same position as if her were a receiver of property appointed by the High Court; and the court may, on his application, enforce such acquisition or retention accordingly.3Where any part of the bankrupt’s estate consists of stock or shares in a company, shares in a ship or any other property transferable in the books of a company, office or person, the trustee may exercise the right to transfer the property to the same extent as the bankrupt might have exercised it if he had not become bankrupt.4Where any part of the estate consists of things in action, they are deemed to have been assigned to the trustee; but notice of the deemed assignment need not be given except in so far as it is necessary, in a case where the deemed assignment is from the bankrupt himself for protecting the priority of the trustee.5Where any goods comprised in the estate are held by any person by way of pledge, pawn or other security and no notice has been served in respect of those goods by the official receiver under subsection (5) of section 285 (restriction on realising security), the trustee may serve such a notice in respect of the goods; and whether or not a notice has been served under this subsection or that subsection, the trustee may, if he thinks fit, exercise the bankrupt’s right of redemption in respect of any such goods.6A notice served by the trustee under subsection (5) has the same effect as a notice served by the official receiver under section 285(5).3121The bankrupt shall deliver up to the trustee possession of any property, books, papers or other records of which he has possession or control and of which the trustee is required to take possession.This is without prejudice to the general duties of the bankrupt under section 333 in this Chapter.2If any of the following is in possession of any property, books, papers or other records of which the trustee is required to take possession, namely—athe official receiver,ba person who has ceased to be trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, orca person who has been the supervisor of a voluntary arrangement approved in relation to the bankrupt under Part VIII,the official receiver or, as the case may be, that person shall deliver up possession of the property, books, papers or records to the trustee.3Any banker or agent of the bankrupt or any other person who holds any property to the account of, or for, the bankrupt shall pay or deliver to the trustee all property in his possession or under his control which forms part of the bankrupt’s estate and which he is not by law entitled to retain as against the bankrupt or trustee.4If any person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed by this section, he is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly (in addition to any other punishment to which he may be subject).3131Where any property consisting of an interest in a dwelling house which is occupied by the bankrupt or by his spouse or former spouse or by his civil partner or former civil partner is comprised in the bankrupt’s estate and the trustee is, for any reason, unable for the time being to realise that property, the trustee may apply to the court for an order imposing a charge on the property for the benefit of the bankrupt’s estate.2If on an application under this section the court imposes a charge on any property, the benefit of that charge shall be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate and is enforceable , up to the charged value from time to time, for the payment of any amount which is payable otherwise than to the bankrupt out of the estate and of interest on that amount at the prescribed rate.2AIn subsection (2) the charged value means—athe amount specified in the charging order as the value of the bankrupt’s interest in the property at the date of the order, plusbinterest on that amount from the date of the charging order at the prescribed rate.2BIn determining the value of an interest for the purposes of this section the court shall disregard any matter which it is required to disregard by the rules.3An order under this section made in respect of property vested in the trustee shall provide, in accordance with the rules, for the property to cease to be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate and, subject to the charge (and any prior charge), to vest in the bankrupt.4 Subsection (1), (2), (4), (5) and (6) of section 3 of the Charging Orders Act 1979 (supplemental provisions with respect to charging orders) have effect in relation to orders under this section as in relation to charging orders under that Act.5But an order under section 3(5) of that Act may not vary a charged value.313A1This section applies where—aproperty comprised in the bankrupt’s estate consists of an interest in a dwelling-house which at the date of the bankruptcy was the sole or principal residence of—ithe bankrupt,iithe bankrupt’s spouse or civil partner, oriiia former spouse or former civil partner of the bankrupt, andbthe trustee applies for an order for the sale of the property, for an order for possession of the property or for an order under section 313 in respect of the property.2The court shall dismiss the application if the value of the interest is below the amount prescribed for the purposes of this subsection.3In determining the value of an interest for the purposes of this section the court shall disregard any matter which it is required to disregard by the order which prescribes the amount for the purposes of subsection (2).3141The trustee may exercise any of the powers specified in Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 5.2... the trustee may appoint the bankrupt—ato superintend the management of his estate or any part of it,bto carry on his business (if any) for the benefit of his creditors, orcin any other respect to assist in administering the estate in such manner and on such terms as the trustee may direct.3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5Part III of Schedule 5 to this Act has effect with respect to the things which the trustee is able to do for the purposes of, or in connection with, the exercise of any of his powers under any of his Group of Parts.6Where the trustee (not being the official receiver) in exercise of the powers conferred on him by any provision in this Group of Parts—adisposes of any property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate to an associate of the bankrupt, orbemploys a solicitor,he shall, if there is for the time being a creditor’s committee, give notice to the committee of that exercise of his powers.7Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (5) and Part III of Schedule 5, the trustee may, if he thinks fit, at any time seek a decision on a matter from the bankrupt’s creditors.Subject to the preceding provisions in this Group of Parts, he shall seek a decision on a matter if he is requested to do so by a creditor of the bankrupt and the request is made with the concurrence of not less than one-tenth, in value, of the bankrupt’s creditors (including the creditor making the request).8Nothing in this Act is to be construed as restricting the capacity of the trustee to exercise any of his powers outside England and Wales.3151Subject as follows, the trustee may, by the giving of the prescribed notice, disclaim any onerous property and may do so notwithstanding that he has taken possession of it, endeavoured to sell it or otherwise exercised rights of ownership in relation to it.2The following is onerous property for the purposes of this section, that is to say—aany unprofitable contract, andbany other property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate which is unsaleable or not readily saleable, or is such that it may give rise to a liability to pay money or perform any other onerous act.3A disclaimer under this section—aoperates so as to determine, as from the date of the disclaimer, the rights, interests and liabilities of the bankrupt and his estate in or in respect of the property disclaimed, andbdischarges the trustee from all personal liability in respect of that property as from the commencement of his trusteeship,but does not, except so far as is necessary for the purpose of releasing the bankrupt, the bankrupt’s estate and the trustee from any liability, affect the rights or liabilities of any other person.4A notice of disclaimer shall not be given under this section in respect of any property that has been claimed for the estate under section 307 (after-acquired property) or 308 (personal property of bankrupt exceeding reasonable replacement value) or 308A, except with the leave of the court.5Any person sustaining loss or damage in consequence of the operation of a disclaimer under this section is deemed to be a creditor of the bankrupt to the extent of the loss or damage and accordingly may prove for the loss or damage as a bankruptcy debt.3161Notice of disclaimer shall not be given under section 315 in respect of any property if—aa person interested in the property has applied in writing to the trustee or one of his predecessors as trustee requiring the trustee or that predecessor to decide whether he will disclaim or not, andbthe period of 28 days beginning with the day on which that application was made has expired without a notice of disclaimer having been given under section 315 in respect of that property.2The trustee is deemed to have adopted any contract which by virtue of this section he is not entitled to disclaim.3171The disclaimer of any property of a leasehold nature does not take effect unless a copy of the disclaimer has been served (so far as the trustee is aware of their addresses) on every person claiming under the bankrupt as underlessee or mortgagee and either—ano application under section 320 below is made with respect to the property before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the last notice served under this subsection was served, orbwhere such an application has been made, the court directs that the disclaimer is to take effect.2Where the court gives a direction under subsection (1)(b) it may also, instead of or in addition to any order it makes under section 320, make such orders with respect to fixtures, tenant’s improvements and other matters arising out of the lease as it thinks fit.318Without prejudice to section 317, the disclaimer of any property in a dwelling house does not take effect unless a copy of the disclaimer has been served (so far as the trustee is aware of their addresses) on every person in occupation of or claiming a right to occupy the dwelling house and either—ano application under section 320 is made with respect to the property before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the last notice served under this section was served, orbwhere such an application has been made, the court directs that the disclaimer is to take effect.3191The following applies where, in consequence of the disclaimer under section 315 of any land subject to a rentcharge, that land vests by operation of law in the Crown or any other person (referred to in the next subsection as “the proprietor”).2The proprietor, and the successors in title of the proprietor, are not subject to any personal liability in respect of any sums becoming due under the rentcharge, except sums becoming due after the proprietor, or some person claiming under or through the proprietor, has taken possession or control of the land or has entered into occupation of it.3201This section and the next apply where the trustee has disclaimed property under section 315.2An application may be made to the court under this section by—aany person who claims an interest in the disclaimed property,bany person who is under any liability in respect of the disclaimed property, not being a liability discharged by the disclaimer, orcwhere the disclaimed property is property in a dwelling house, any person who at the time when the bankruptcy application was made or (as the case may be) the bankruptcy petition was presented was in occupation of or entitled to occupy the dwelling house.3Subject as follows in this section and the next, the court may, on an application under this section, make an order on such terms as it thinks fit for the vesting of the disclaimed property in, or for its delivery to—aa person entitled to it or a trustee for such a person,ba person subject to such a liability as is mentioned in subsection (2)(b) or a trustee for such a person, orcwhere the disclaimed property is property in a dwelling house, any person who at the time when the bankruptcy application was made or (as the case may be) the bankruptcy petition was presented was in occupation of or entitled to occupy the dwelling house.4The court shall not make an order by virtue of subsection (3)(b) except where it appears to the court that it would be just to do so for the purpose of compensating the person subject to the liability in respect of the disclaimer.5The effect of any order under this section shall be taken into account in assessing for the purposes of section 315(5) the extent of any loss or damage sustained by any person in consequence of the disclaimer.6An order under this section vesting property in any person need not be completed by any conveyance, assignment or transfer.3211The court shall not make an order under section 320 vesting property of a leasehold nature in any person, except on terms making that person—asubject to the same liabilities and obligations as the bankrupt was subject to under the lease on the day the bankruptcy application was made or (as the case may be) the bankruptcy petition was presented, orbif the court thinks fit, subject to the same liabilities and obligations as that person would be subject to if the lease had been assigned to him on that day.2For the purposes of an order under section 320 relating to only part of any property comprised in a lease, the requirements of subsection (1) apply as if the lease comprised only the property to which the order relates.3Where subsection (1) applies and no person is willing to accept an order under section 320 on the terms required by that subsection, the court may (by order under section 320) vest the estate or interest in the bankrupt in the property in any person who is liable (whether personally or in a representative capacity and whether alone or jointly with the bankrupt) to perform the lessee’s covenants in the lease.The court may by virtue of this subsection vest that estate and interest in such a person freed and discharged from all estates, incumbrances and interests created by the bankrupt.4Where subsection (1) applies and a person declines to accept any order under section 320, that person shall be excluded from all interest in the property.3221Subject to this section and the next, the proof of any bankruptcy debt by a secured or unsecured creditor of the bankrupt and the admission or rejection of any proof shall take place in accordance with the rules.2Where a bankruptcy debt bears interest, that interest is provable as part of the debt except in so far as it is payable in respect of any period after the commencement of the bankruptcy.3The trustee shall estimate the value of any bankruptcy debt which, by reason of its being subject to any contingency or contingencies or for any other reason, does not bear a certain value.4Where the value of a bankruptcy debt is estimated by the trustee under subsection (3) or, by virtue of section 303 in Chapter III, by the court, the amount provable in the bankruptcy in respect of the debt is the amount of the estimate.3231This section applies where before the commencement of the bankruptcy there have been mutual credits, mutual debts or other mutual dealings between the bankruptcy and any creditor of the bankrupt proving or claiming to prove for a bankruptcy debt.2An account shall be taken of what is due from each party to the other in respect of the mutual dealings and the sums due from one party shall be set off against the sums due from the other.3Sums due from the bankrupt to another party shall not be included in the account taken under subsection (2) if that other party had notice at the time they became due that proceedings on a bankruptcy application relating to the bankrupt were ongoing or that a bankruptcy petition relating to the bankrupt was pending.4Only the balance (if any) of the account taken under subsection (2) is provable as a bankruptcy debt or, as the case may be, to be paid to the trustee as part of the bankrupt’s estate.3241Whenever the trustee has sufficient funds in hand for the purpose he shall, subject to the retention of such sums as may be necessary for the expenses of the bankruptcy, declare and distribute dividends among the creditors in respect of the bankruptcy debts which they have respectively proved.2The trustee shall give notice of his intention to declare and distribute a dividend.3Where the trustee has declared a dividend, he shall give notice of the dividend and of how it is proposed to distribute it; and a notice given under this subsection shall contain the prescribed particulars of the bankrupt’s estate.4In the calculation and distribution of a dividend the trustee shall make provision—afor any bankruptcy debts which appear to him to be due to persons who, by reason of the distance of their place of residence, may not have had sufficient time to tender and establish their proofs,bfor any bankruptcy debts which are the subject of claims which have not yet been determined, andcfor disputed proofs and claims.3251A creditor who has not proved his debt before the declaration of any dividend is not entitled to disturb, by reason that he has not participated in it, the distribution of that dividend or any other dividend declared before his debt was proved, but—awhen he has proved that debt he is entitled to be paid, out of any money for the time being available for the payment of any further dividend, any dividend or dividends which he has failed to receive; andbany dividend or dividends payable under paragraph (a) shall be paid before that money is applied to the payment of any such further dividend.2No action lies against the trustee for a dividend,but if the trustee refuses to pay a dividend the court may, if it thinks fit, order him to pay it and also to pay, out of his own money—ainterest on the dividend, at the rate for the time being specified in section 17 of the JudgmentsAct 1838, from the time it was withheld, andbthe costs of the proceedings in which the order to pay is made.3261Without prejudice to sections 315 to 319 (disclaimer), the trustee may, with the permission of the creditors’ committee, divide in its existing form amongst the bankrupt’s creditors, according to its estimated value, any property which from its peculiar nature or other special circumstances cannot be readily or advantageously sold.2A permission given for the purposes of subsection (1) shall not be a general permission but shall relate to a particular proposed exercise of the power in question; and a person dealing with the trustee in good faith and for value is not to be concerned to enquire whether any permission required by subsection (1) has been given.3Where the trustee has done anything without the permission required by subsection (1), the court or the creditors’ committee may, for the purpose of enabling him to meet his expenses out of the bankrupt’s estate, ratify what the trustee has done.But the committee shall not do so unless it is satisfied that the trustee acted in a case of urgency and has sought its ratification without undue delay.327Where the bankruptcy order was made on a petition under section 264(1)(d) (criminal bankruptcy), no distribution shall be made under sections 324 to 326 so long as an appeal is pending (within the meaning of section 277) against the bankrupt’s conviction of any offence by virtue of which the criminal bankruptcy order on which the petition was based was made.3281In the distribution of the bankrupt’s estate, his preferential debts ... shall be paid in priority to other debts.1AOrdinary preferential debts rank equally among themselves after the expenses of the bankruptcy and shall be paid in full, unless the bankrupt’s estate is insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions between themselves.1BSecondary preferential debts rank equally among themselves after the ordinary preferential debts and shall be paid in full, unless the bankrupt’s estate is insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions between themselves.2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3Debts which are neither preferential debts nor debts to which the next section applies also rank equally between themselves and, after the preferential debts, shall be paid in full unless the bankrupt’s estate is insufficient for meeting them, in which case they abate in equal proportions between themselves.3AIf the bankrupt is a relevant financial institution, subsection (3) does not apply but—athe bankrupt’s ordinary non-preferential debts shall be paid in priority to the bankrupt’s secondary non-preferential debts,bthe bankrupt’s ordinary non-preferential debts rank equally among themselves after the secondary preferential debts and shall be paid in full, unless the bankrupt’s estate is insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions,cthe bankrupt’s secondary non-preferential debts shall be paid in priority to the bankrupt’s tertiary non-preferential debts, anddthe bankrupt’s secondary non-preferential debts rank equally among themselves after the ordinary non-preferential debts and shall be paid in full, unless the bankrupt’s estate is insufficient to meet them, in which case they abate in equal proportions.See section 387A for definitions relevant to this subsection.4Any surplus remaining after the payment of the debts —awhere subsection (3) applies, that are preferential or rank equally under that subsection, orbwhere subsection (3A) applies, that are preferential or are referred to in that subsection,shall be applied in paying interest on those debts in respect of the periods during which they have been outstanding since the commencement of the bankruptcy; and interest on preferential debts ranks equally with interest on debts other than preferential debts.5The rate of interest payable under subsection (4) in respect of any debt is whichever is the greater of the following—athe rate specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838 at the commencement of the bankruptcy, andbthe rate applicable to that debt apart from the bankruptcy.6This section and the next are without prejudice to any provision of this Act or any other Act under which the payment of any debt or the making of any other payment is, in the event of bankruptcy, to have a particular priority or to be postponed.7In this section “preferential debts”, “ordinary preferential debts” and “secondary preferential debts” each has the meaning given in section 386 in Part 12.3291This section applies to bankruptcy debts owed in respect of credit provided by a person who (whether or not the bankrupt’s spouse or civil partner at the time the credit was provided) was the bankrupt’s spouse or civil partner at the commencement of the bankruptcy.2Such debts—arank in priority after the ... interest required to be paid in pursuance of section 328(4), andbare payable with interest at the rate specified in section 328(5) in respect of the period during which they have been outstanding since the commencement of the bankruptcy;and the interest payable under paragraph (b) has the same priority as the debts on which it is payable.3301When the trustee has realised all the bankrupt’s estate or so much of it as can, in the trustee’s opinion, be realised without needlessly protracting the trusteeship, he shall give notice in the prescribed manner either—aof his intention to declare a final dividend, orbthat no dividend, or further dividend, will be declared.1AA notice under subsection (1)(b) need not be given to opted-out creditors.2The notice under subsection (1) shall contain the prescribed particulars and shall require claims against the bankrupt’s estate to be established by a date (“the final date”) specified in the notice.3The court may, on the application of any person, postpone the final date.4After the final date, the trustee shall—adefray any outstanding expenses of the bankruptcy out of the bankrupt’s estate, andbif he intends to declare a final dividend, declare and distribute that dividend without regard to the claim of any person in respect of a debt not already proved in the bankruptcy.5If a surplus remains after payment in full and with interest of all the bankrupt’s creditors and the payment of the expenses of the bankruptcy, the bankrupt is entitled to the surplus.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3311Subject as follows in this section and the next, this section applies where—ait appears to the trustee that the administration of the bankrupt’s estate in accordance with this Chapter is for practical purposes complete, andbthe trustee is not the official receiver.2The trustee must give the bankrupt's creditors (other than opted-out creditors) notice that it appears to the trustee that the administration of the bankrupt's estate is for practical purposes complete.2AThe notice must—abe accompanied by a report of the trustee's administration of the bankrupt's estate;bexplain the effect of section 299(3)(d) and how the creditors may object to the trustee's release.3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3321This section applies where—athere is comprised in the bankrupt’s estate property consisting of an interest in a dwelling house which is occupied by the bankrupt or by his spouse or former spouse or by his civil partner or former civil partner, andbthe trustee has been unable for any reason to realise that property.2The trustee shall not give notice under section 331(2) unless either—athe court has made an order under section 313 imposing a charge on that property for the benefit of the bankrupt’s estate, orbthe court has declined, on an application under that section, to make such an order, orcthe Secretary of State has issued a certificate to the trustee stating that it would be inappropriate or inexpedient for such an application to be made in the case in question.3331The bankrupt shall—agive to the trustee such information as to his affairs,battend on the trustee at such times, andcdo all such other things,as the trustee may for the purposes of carrying out his functions under any of this Group of Parts reasonably require.2Where at any time after the commencement of the bankruptcy any property is acquired by, or devolves upon, the bankrupt or there is an increase of the bankrupt’s income, the bankrupt shall, within the prescribed period, give the trustee notice of the property or, as the case may be, of the increase.3Subsection (1) applies to a bankrupt after his discharge.4If the bankrupt without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed by this section, he is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly (in addition to any other punishment to which he may be subject).3341This section and the next apply where a bankruptcy order is made against an undischarged bankrupt; and in both sections—a“the later bankruptcy” means the bankruptcy arising from that order,b“the earlier bankruptcy” means the bankruptcy (or, as the case may be, most recent bankruptcy) from which the bankrupt has not been discharged at the commencement of the later bankruptcy, andc“the existing trustee” means the trustee (if any) of the bankrupt’s estate for the purposes of the earlier bankruptcy.2Where the existing trustee has been given the prescribed notice of the making of the application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the petition of the later bankruptcy, any distribution or other disposition by him of anything to which the next subsection applies, if made after the giving of the notice, is void except to the extent that it was made with the consent of the court or is or was subsequently ratified by the court.This is without prejudice to section 284 (restrictions on dispositions of property following bankruptcy order).3This subsection applies to—aany property which is vested in the existing trustee under section 307(3) (after-acquired property);bany money paid to the existing trustee in pursuance of an income payments order under section 310; andcany property or money, which is, or in the hands of the existing trustee represents, the proceeds of sale or application of property or money falling within paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection.3351With effect from the commencement of the later bankruptcy anthing to which section 334(3) applies which, immediately before the commencement of that bankruptcy, is comprised in the bankrupt’s estate for the purposes of the earlier bankruptcy is to be treated as comprised in the bankrupt’s estate for the purposes of the later bankruptcy and, until there is a trustee of that estate, is to be dealt with by the existing trustee in accordance with the rules.2Any sums which in pursuance of an income payments order under section 310 are payable after the commencement of the later bankruptcy to the existing trustee shall form part of the bankrupt’s estate for the purposes of the later bankruptcy; and the court may give such consequential directions for the modification of the order as it thinks fit.3Anything comprised in a bankrupt’s estate by virtue of subsection (1) or (2) is so comprised subject to a first charge in favour of the existing trustee for any bankruptcy expenses incurred by him in relation thereto.4Except as provided above and in section 334, property which is, or by virtue of section 308 (personal property of bankrupt exceeding reasonable replacement value) or section 308A (vesting in trustee of certain tenancies) is capable of being, comprised in the bankrupt’s estate for the purposes of the earlier bankruptcy, or of any bankruptcy prior to it, shall not be comprised in his estate for the purposes of the later bankruptcy.5The creditors of the bankrupt in the earlier bankruptcy and the creditors of the bankrupt in any bankruptcy prior to the earlier one, are not to be creditors of his in the later bankruptcy in respect of the same debts; but the existing trustee may prove in the later bankruptcy for—athe unsatisfied balance of the debts (including any debt under this subsection) provable against the bankrupt’s estate in the earlier bankruptcy;bany interest payable on that balance; andcany unpaid expenses of the earlier bankruptcy.6Any amount provable under subsection (5) ranks in priority after all the other debts provable in the later bankruptcy and after interest on those debts and, accordingly, shall not be paid unless those debts and that interest have first been paid in full.Chapter V335A1Any application by a trustee of a bankrupt’s estate under section 14 of the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (powers of court in relation to trusts of land) for an order under that section for the sale of land shall be made to the court having jurisdiction in relation to the bankruptcy.2On such an application the court shall make such order as it thinks just and reasonable having regard to—athe interests of the bankrupt’s creditors;bwhere the application is made in respect of land which includes a dwelling house which is or has been the home of the bankrupt or the bankrupt’s spouse or civil partner or former spouse or former civil partner—ithe conduct of the spouse, civil partner, former spouse or former civil partner, so far as contributing to the bankruptcy,iithe needs and financial resources of the spouse, civil partner, former spouse or former civil partner, andiiithe needs of any children; andcall the circumstances of the case other than the needs of the bankrupt.3Where such an application is made after the end of the period of one year beginning with the first vesting under Chapter IV of this Part of the bankrupt’s estate in a trustee, the court shall assume, unless the circumstances of the case are exceptional, that the interests of the bankrupt’s creditors outweigh all other considerations.4The powers conferred on the court by this section are exercisable on an application whether it is made before or after the commencement of this section.3361Nothing occurring in the initial period of the bankruptcy (that is to say, the period beginning with the day of the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition and ending with the vesting of the bankrupt’s estate in a trustee) is to be taken as having given rise to any home rights under Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996 in relation to a dwelling house comprised in the bankrupt’s estate.2Where a spouse’s or civil partner’s home rightsunder the Act of 1996 are a charge on the estate or interest of the other spouse or civil partner, or of trustees for the other spouse or civil partner, and the other spouse or civil partner is made bankrupt—athe charge continues to subsist notwithstanding the bankruptcy and, subject to the provisions of that Act, binds the trustee of the bankrupts’s estate and persons deriving title under the trustee, andbany application for an order under section 33 of that Act shall be made to the court having jurisdiction in relation to the bankruptcy.3. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4On such an application as is mentioned in subsection (2) . . . the court shall make such order under section 33 of the Act of 1996. . . as it thinks just and reasonable having regard to—athe interests of the bankrupt’s creditors,bthe conduct of the spouse or former spouse or civil partner or former civil partner, so far as contributing to the bankruptcy,cthe needs and financial resources of the spouse or former spouse or civil partner or former civil partner,dthe needs of any children, andeall the circumstances of the case other than the needs of the bankrupt.5Where such an application is made after the end of the period of one year beginning with the first vesting under Chapter IV of this Part of the bankrupt’s estate in a trustee, the court shall assume, unless the circumstances of the case are exceptional, that the interests of the bankrupt’s creditors outweigh all other considerations.3371This section applies where—aa person who is entitled to occupy a dwelling house by virtue of a beneficial estate or interest is made bankrupt, andbany persons under the age of 18 with whom that person had at some time occupied that dwelling house had their home with that person at the time when the bankruptcy application was made or (as the case may be) the bankruptcy petition was presented and at the commencement of the bankruptcy.2Whether or not the bankrupt’s spouse or civil partner (if any) has home rightsunder Part IV of the Family Law Act 1996—athe bankrupt has the followng rights as against the trustee of his estate—iif in occupation, a right not to be evicted or excluded from the dwelling house or any part of it, except with the leave of the court,iiif not in occupation, a right with the leave of the court to enter into and occupy the dwelling house, andbthe bankrupt’s rights are a charge, having the like priority as an equitable interest created immediately before the commencement of the bankruptcy, on so much of his estate or interest in the dwelling house as vests in the trustee.3The Act of 1996 has effect, with the necessary modifications, as if—athe rights conferred by paragraph (a) of subsection (2) were home rights under that Act,bany application for such leave as is mentioned in that paragraph were an application for an order under section 33 of that Act, andcany charge under paragraph (b) of that subsection on the estate or interest of the trustee were a charge under that Act on the estate or interest of a spouse or civil partner.4Any application for leave such as is mentioned in subsection (2)(a) or otherwise by virtue of this section for an order under section 33 of the Act of 1996 shall be made to the court having jurisdiction in relation to the bankruptcy.5On such an application the court shall make such order under section 33 of the Act of 1996 as it thinks just and reasonable having regard to the interests of the creditors, to the bankrupt’s financial resources, to the needs of the children and to all the circumstances of the case other than the needs of the bankrupt.6Where such an application is made after the end of the period of one year beginning with the first vesting (under Chapter IV of this Part) of the bankrupt’s estate in a trustee, the court shall assume, unless the circumstances of the case are exceptional, that the interests of the bankrupt’s creditors outweigh all other considerations.338Where any premises comprised in a bankrupt’s estate are occupied by him (whether by virtue of the preceding section or otherwise) on condition that he makes payments towards satisfying any liability arising under a mortgage of the premises or otherwise towards the outgoings of the premises, the bankrupt does not, by virtue of those payments, acquire any interest in the premises.3391Subject as follows in this section and sections 341 and 342, where an individual is made bankrupt and he has at a relevant time (defined in section 341) entered into a transaction with any person at an undervalue, the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate may apply to the court for an order under this section.2The court shall, on such an application, make such order as it thinks fit for restoring the position to what it would have been if that individual had not entered into that transaction.3For the purposes of this section and sections 341 and 342, an individual enters into a transaction with a person at an undervalue if—ahe makes a gift to that person or he otherwise enters into a transaction with that person on terms that provide for him to receive no consideration,bhe enters into a transaction with that person in consideration of marriage or the formation of a civil partnership, orche enters into a transaction with that person for a consideration the value of which, in money or money’s worth, is significantly less than the value, in money or money’s worth, of the consideration provided by the individual.3401Subject as follows in this and the next two sections, where an individual is made bankrupt and he has at a relevant time (defined in section 341) given a preference to any person, the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate may apply to the court for an order under this section.2The court shall, on such an application, make such order as it thinks fit for restoring the position to what it would have been if that individual had not given that preference.3For the purposes of this and the next two sections, an individual gives a preference to a person if—athat person is one of the individual’s creditors or a surety or guarantor for any of his debts or other liabilities, andbthe individual does anything or suffers anything to be done which (in either case) has the effect of putting that person into a position which, in the event of the individual’s bankruptcy, will be better than the position he would have been in if that thing had not been done.4The court shall not make an order under this section in respect of a preference given to any person unless the individual who gave the preference was influenced in deciding to give it by a desire to produce in relation to that person the effect mentioned in subsection (3)(b) above.5An individual who has given a preference to a person who, at the time the preference was given, was an associate of his (otherwise than by reason only of being his employee) is presumed, unless the contrary is shown, to have been influenced in deciding to give it by such a desire as is mentioned in subsection (4).6The fact that something has been done in pursuance of the order of a court does not, without more, prevent the doing or suffering of that thing from constituting the giving of a preference.3411Subject as follows, the time at which an individual enters into a transaction at an undervalue or gives a preference is a relevant time if the transaction is entered into or the preference given—ain the case of a transaction at an undervalue, at a time in the period of 5 years ending with the day of the making of the bankruptcy application as a result of which, or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition on which, the individual is made bankrupt,bin the case of a preference which is not a transaction at an undervalue and is given to a person who is an associate of the individual (otherwise than by reason only of being his employee), at a time in the period of 2 years ending with that day, andcin any other case of a preference which is not a transaction at an undervalue, at a time in the period of 6 months ending with that day.2Where an individual enters into a transaction at an undervalue or gives a preference at a time mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of subsection (1) (not being, in the case of a transaction at an undervalue, a time less than 2 years before the end of the period mentioned in paragraph (a)), that time is not a relevant time for the purposes of sections 339 and 340 unless the individual—ais insolvent at that time, orbbecomes insolvent in consequence of the transaction or preference;but the requirements of this subsection are presumed to be satisfied, unless the contrary is shown, in relation to any transaction at an undervalue which is entered into by an individual with a person who is an associate of his (otherwise than by reason only of being his employee).3For the purposes of subsection (2), an individual is insolvent if—ahe is unable to pay his debts as they fall due, orbthe value of his assets is less than the amount of his liabilities, taking into account his contingent and prospective liabilities.4A transaction entered into or preference given by a person who is subsequently adjudged bankrupt on a petition under section 264(1)(d) (criminal bankruptcy) is to be treated as having been entered into or given at a relevant time for the purposes of sections 339 and 340 if it was entered into or given at any time on or after the date specified for the purposes of this subsection in the criminal bankruptcy order on which the petition was based.5No order shall be made under section 339 or 340 by virtue of subsection (4) of this section where an appeal is pending (within the meaning of section 277) against the individual’s conviction of any offence by virtue of which the criminal bankruptcy order was made.3421Without prejudice to the generality of section 339(2) or 340(2), an order under either of those sections with respect to a transaction or preference entered into or given by an individual who is subsequently made bankrupt may (subject as follows)—arequire any property transferred as part of the transaction, or in connection with the giving of the preference, to be vested in the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate as part of that estate;brequire any property to be so vested it if represents in any person’s hands the application either of the proceeds of sale of property so transferred or of money so transferred;crelease or discharge (in whole or in part) any security given by the individual;drequire any person to pay, in respect of benefits received by him from the individual, such sums to the trustee of his estate as the court may direct;eprovide for any surety or guarantor whose obligations to any person were released or discharged (in whole or in part) under the transaction or by the giving of the preference to be under such new or revived obligations to that person as the court thinks appropriate;fprovide for security to be provided for the discharge of any obligation imposed by or arising under the order, for such an obligation to be charged on any property and for the security or charge to have the same priority as a security or charge released or discharged (in whole or in part) under the transaction or by the giving of the preference; andgprovide for the extent to which any person whose property is vested by the order in the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, or on whom obligations are imposed by the order, is to be able to prove in the bankruptcy for debts or other liabilities which arose from, or were released or discharged (in whole or in part) under or by, the transaction or the giving of the preference.2An order under section 339 or 340 may affect the property of, or impose any obligation on, any person whether or not he is the person with whom the individual in question entered into the transaction or, as the case may be the person to whom the preference was given; but such an order—ashall not prejudice any interest in property which was acquired from a person other than that individual and was acquired in good faith and for value, or prejudice any interest deriving from such an interest, andbshall not require a person who received a benefit from the transaction or preference in good faith and for value to pay a sum to the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate except where he was a party to the transaction or the payment is to be in respect of a preference given to that person at a time when he was a creditor of that individual.2AWhere a person has acquired an interest in property from a person other than the individual in question, or has received a benefit from the transaction or preference, and at the time of that acquisition or receipt—ahe had notice of the relevant surrounding circumstances and of the relevant proceedings, orbhe was an associate of, or was connected with, either the individual in question or the person with whom that individual entered into the transaction or to whom that individual gave the preference,then, unless the contrary is shown, it shall be presumed for the purposes of paragraph (a) or (as the case may be) paragraph (b) of subsection (2) that the interest was acquired or the benefit was received otherwise than in good faith.3Any sums required to be paid to the trustee in accordance with an order under section 339 or 340 shall be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate.4For the purposes of subsection (2A)(a), the relevant surrounding circumstances are (as the case may require)—athe fact that the individual in question entered into the transaction at an undervalue; orbthe circumstances which amounted to the giving of the preference by the individual in question.5For the purposes of subsection (2A)(a), a person has notice of the relevant proceedings if he has notice—aof the fact that the bankruptcy application as a result of which, or (as the case may be) the bankruptcy petition on which, the individual in question is made bankrupt has been made or presented; orbof the fact that the individual in question has been made bankrupt.6Section 249 in Part VII of this Act shall apply for the purposes of subsection (2A)(b) as it applies for the purposes of the first Group of Parts.342A1Where an individual who is made bankrupt—ahas rights under an approved pension arrangement, orbhas excluded rights under an unapproved pension arrangement,the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate may apply to the court for an order under this section.2If the court is satisfied—athat the rights under the arrangement are to any extent, and whether directly or indirectly, the fruits of relevant contributions, andbthat the making of any of the relevant contributions (“the excessive contributions”) has unfairly prejudiced the individual’s creditors,the court may make such order as it thinks fit for restoring the position to what it would have been had the excessive contributions not been made.3Subsection (4) applies where the court is satisfied that the value of the rights under the arrangement is, as a result of rights of the individual under the arrangement or any other pension arrangement having at any time become subject to a debit under section 29(1)(a) of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (debits giving effect to pension-sharing), less than it would otherwise have been.4Where this subsection applies—aany relevant contributions which were represented by the rights which became subject to the debit shall, for the purposes of subsection (2), be taken to be contributions of which the rights under the arrangement are the fruits, andbwhere the relevant contributions represented by the rights under the arrangement (including those so represented by virtue of paragraph (a)) are not all excessive contributions, relevant contributions which are represented by the rights under the arrangement otherwise than by virtue of paragraph (a) shall be treated as excessive contributions before any which are so represented by virtue of that paragraph.5In subsections (2) to (4) “relevant contributions” means contributions to the arrangement or any other pension arrangement—awhich the individual has at any time made on his own behalf, orbwhich have at any time been made on his behalf.6The court shall, in determining whether it is satisfied under subsection (2)(b), consider in particular—awhether any of the contributions were made for the purpose of putting assets beyond the reach of the individual’s creditors or any of them, andbwhether the total amount of any contributions—imade by or on behalf of the individual to pension arrangements, andiirepresented (whether directly or indirectly) by rights under approved pension arrangements or excluded rights under unapproved pension arrangements,is an amount which is excessive in view of the individual’s circumstances when those contributions were made.7For the purposes of this section and sections 342B and 342C (“the recovery provisions”), rights of an individual under an unapproved pension arrangement are excluded rights if they are rights which are excluded from his estate by virtue of regulations under section 12 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999.8In the recovery provisions—“approved pension arrangement” has the same meaning as in section 11 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999;“unapproved pension arrangement” has the same meaning as in section 12 of that Act.342B1Without prejudice to the generality of section 342A(2), an order under section 342A may include provision—arequiring the person responsible for the arrangement to pay an amount to the individual’s trustee in bankruptcy,badjusting the liabilities of the arrangement in respect of the individual,cadjusting any liabilities of the arrangement in respect of any other person that derive, directly or indirectly, from rights of the individual under the arrangement,dfor the recovery by the person responsible for the arrangement (whether by deduction from any amount which that person is ordered to pay or otherwise) of costs incurred by that person in complying in the bankrupt’s case with any requirement under section 342C(1) or in giving effect to the order.2In subsection (1), references to adjusting the liabilities of the arrangement in respect of a person include (in particular) reducing the amount of any benefit or future benefit to which that person is entitled under the arrangement.3In subsection (1)(c), the reference to liabilities of the arrangement does not include liabilities in respect of a person which result from giving effect to an order or provision falling within section 28(1) of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (pension sharing orders and agreements).4The maximum amount which the person responsible for an arrangement may be required to pay by an order under section 342A is the lesser of—athe amount of the excessive contributions, andbthe value of the individual’s rights under the arrangement (if the arrangement is an approved pension arrangement) or of his excluded rights under the arrangement (if the arrangement is an unapproved pension arrangement).5An order under section 342A which requires the person responsible for an arrangement to pay an amount (“the restoration amount”) to the individual’s trustee in bankruptcy must provide for the liabilities of the arrangement to be correspondingly reduced.6For the purposes of subsection (5), liabilities are correspondingly reduced if the difference between—athe amount of the liabilities immediately before the reduction, andbthe amount of the liabilities immediately after the reduction,is equal to the restoration amount.7An order under section 342A in respect of an arrangement—ashall be binding on the person responsible for the arrangement, andboverrides provisions of the arrangement to the extent that they conflict with the provisions of the order.342C1The person responsible for—aan approved pension arrangement under which a bankrupt has rights,ban unapproved pension arrangement under which a bankrupt has excluded rights, orca pension arrangement under which a bankrupt has at any time had rights,shall, on the bankrupt’s trustee in bankruptcy making a written request, provide the trustee with such information about the arrangement and rights as the trustee may reasonably require for, or in connection with, the making of applications under section 342A.2Nothing in—aany provision of section 159 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 or section 91 of the Pensions Act 1995 (which prevent assignment and the making of orders that restrain a person from receiving anything which he is prevented from assigning),bany provision of any enactment (whether passed or made before or after the passing of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999) corresponding to any of the provisions mentioned in paragraph (a), orcany provision of the arrangement in question corresponding to any of those provisions,applies to a court exercising its powers under section 342A.3Where any sum is required by an order under section 342A to be paid to the trustee in bankruptcy, that sum shall be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate.4Regulations may, for the purposes of the recovery provisions, make provision about the calculation and verification of—aany such value as is mentioned in section 342B(4)(b);bany such amounts as are mentioned in section 342B(6)(a) and (b).5The power conferred by subsection (4) includes power to provide for calculation or verification—ain such manner as may, in the particular case, be approved by a prescribed person; orbin accordance with guidance from time to time prepared by a prescribed person.6References in the recovery provisions to the person responsible for a pension arrangement are to—athe trustees, managers or provider of the arrangement, orbthe person having functions in relation to the arrangement corresponding to those of a trustee, manager or provider.7In this section and sections 342A and 342B—“prescribed” means prescribed by regulations;“the recovery provisions” means this section and sections 342A and 342B;“regulations” means regulations made by the Secretary of State.8Regulations under the recovery provisions may—amake different provision for different cases;bcontain such incidental, supplemental and transitional provisions as appear to the Secretary of State necessary or expedient.9Regulations under the recovery provisions shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.342D1For the purposes of sections 339, 341 and 342, a pension-sharing transaction shall be taken—ato be a transaction, entered into by the transferor with the transferee, by which the appropriate amount is transferred by the transferor to the transferee; andbto be capable of being a transaction entered into at an undervalue only so far as it is a transfer of so much of the appropriate amount as is recoverable.2For the purposes of sections 340 to 342, a pension-sharing transaction shall be taken—ato be something (namely a transfer of the appropriate amount to the transferee) done by the transferor; andbto be capable of being a preference given to the transferee only so far as it is a transfer of so much of the appropriate amount as is recoverable.3If on an application under section 339 or 340 any question arises as to whether, or the extent to which, the appropriate amount in the case of a pension-sharing transaction is recoverable, the question shall be determined in accordance with subsections (4) to (8).4The court shall first determine the extent (if any) to which the transferor’s rights under the shared arrangement at the time of the transaction appear to have been (whether directly or indirectly) the fruits of contributions (“personal contributions”)—awhich the transferor has at any time made on his own behalf, orbwhich have at any time been made on the transferor’s behalf,to the shared arrangement or any other pension arrangement.5Where it appears that those rights were to any extent the fruits of personal contributions, the court shall then determine the extent (if any) to which those rights appear to have been the fruits of personal contributions whose making has unfairly prejudiced the transferor’s creditors (“the unfair contributions”).6If it appears to the court that the extent to which those rights were the fruits of the unfair contributions is such that the transfer of the appropriate amount could have been made out of rights under the shared arrangement which were not the fruits of the unfair contributions, then the appropriate amount is not recoverable.7If it appears to the court that the transfer could not have been wholly so made, then the appropriate amount is recoverable to the extent to which it appears to the court that the transfer could not have been so made.8In making the determination mentioned in subsection (5) the court shall consider in particular—awhether any of the personal contributions were made for the purpose of putting assets beyond the reach of the transferor’s creditors or any of them, andbwhether the total amount of any personal contributions represented, at the time the pension-sharing transaction was made, by rights under pension arrangements is an amount which is excessive in view of the transferor’s circumstances when those contributions were made.9In this section and sections 342E and 342F—“appropriate amount”, in relation to a pension-sharing transaction, means the appropriate amount in relation to that transaction for the purposes of section 29(1) of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (creation of pension credits and debits);“pension-sharing transaction” means an order or provision falling within section 28(1) of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (orders and agreements which activate pension-sharing);“shared arrangement”, in relation to a pension-sharing transaction, means the pension arrangement to which the transaction relates;“transferee”, in relation to a pension-sharing transaction, means the person for whose benefit the transaction is made;“transferor”, in relation to a pension-sharing transaction, means the person to whose rights the transaction relates.342E1This section and section 342F apply if the court is making an order under section 339 or 340 in a case where—athe transaction or preference is, or is any part of, a pension-sharing transaction, andbthe transferee has rights under a pension arrangement (“the destination arrangement”, which may be the shared arrangement or any other pension arrangement) that are derived, directly or indirectly, from the pension-sharing transaction.2Without prejudice to the generality of section 339(2) or 340(2), or of section 342, the order may include provision—arequiring the person responsible for the destination arrangement to pay an amount to the transferor’s trustee in bankruptcy,badjusting the liabilities of the destination arrangement in respect of the transferee,cadjusting any liabilities of the destination arrangement in respect of any other person that derive, directly or indirectly, from rights of the transferee under the destination arrangement,dfor the recovery by the person responsible for the destination arrangement (whether by deduction from any amount which that person is ordered to pay or otherwise) of costs incurred by that person in complying in the transferor’s case with any requirement under section 342F(1) or in giving effect to the order,efor the recovery, from the transferor’s trustee in bankruptcy, by the person responsible for a pension arrangement, of costs incurred by that person in complying in the transferor’s case with any requirement under section 342F(2) or (3).3In subsection (2), references to adjusting the liabilities of the destination arrangement in respect of a person include (in particular) reducing the amount of any benefit or future benefit to which that person is entitled under the arrangement.4The maximum amount which the person responsible for the destination arrangement may be required to pay by the order is the smallest of—aso much of the appropriate amount as, in accordance with section 342D, is recoverable,bso much (if any) of the amount of the unfair contributions (within the meaning given by section 342D(5)) as is not recoverable by way of an order under section 342A containing provision such as is mentioned in section 342B(1)(a), andcthe value of the transferee’s rights under the destination arrangement so far as they are derived, directly or indirectly, from the pension-sharing transaction.5If the order requires the person responsible for the destination arrangement to pay an amount (“the restoration amount”) to the transferor’s trustee in bankruptcy it must provide for the liabilities of the arrangement to be correspondingly reduced.6For the purposes of subsection (5), liabilities are correspondingly reduced if the difference between—athe amount of the liabilities immediately before the reduction, andbthe amount of the liabilities immediately after the reduction,is equal to the restoration amount.7The order—ashall be binding on the person responsible for the destination arrangement, andboverrides provisions of the destination arrangement to the extent that they conflict with the provisions of the order.342F1On the transferor’s trustee in bankruptcy making a written request to the person responsible for the destination arrangement, that person shall provide the trustee with such information about—athe arrangement,bthe transferee’s rights under it, andcwhere the destination arrangement is the shared arrangement, the transferor’s rights under it,as the trustee may reasonably require for, or in connection with, the making of applications under sections 339 and 340.2Where the shared arrangement is not the destination arrangement, the person responsible for the shared arrangement shall, on the transferor’s trustee in bankruptcy making a written request to that person, provide the trustee with such information about—athe arrangement, andbthe transferor’s rights under it,as the trustee may reasonably require for, or in connection with, the making of applications under sections 339 and 340.3On the transferor’s trustee in bankruptcy making a written request to the person responsible for any intermediate arrangement, that person shall provide the trustee with such information about—athe arrangement, andbthe transferee’s rights under it,as the trustee may reasonably require for, or in connection with, the making of applications under sections 339 and 340.4In subsection (3) “intermediate arrangement” means a pension arrangement, other than the shared arrangement or the destination arrangement, in relation to which the following conditions are fulfilled—athere was a time when the transferee had rights under the arrangement that were derived (directly or indirectly) from the pension-sharing transaction, andbthe transferee’s rights under the destination arrangement (so far as derived from the pension-sharing transaction) are to any extent derived (directly or indirectly) from the rights mentioned in paragraph (a).5Nothing in—aany provision of section 159 of the Pension Schemes Act 1993 or section 91 of the Pensions Act 1995 (which prevent assignment and the making of orders which restrain a person from receiving anything which he is prevented from assigning),bany provision of any enactment (whether passed or made before or after the passing of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999) corresponding to any of the provisions mentioned in paragraph (a), orcany provision of the destination arrangement corresponding to any of those provisions,applies to a court exercising its powers under section 339 or 340.6Regulations may, for the purposes of sections 339 to 342, sections 342D and 342E and this section, make provision about the calculation and verification of—aany such value as is mentioned in section 342E(4)(c);bany such amounts as are mentioned in section 342E(6)(a) and (b).7The power conferred by subsection (6) includes power to provide for calculation or verification—ain such manner as may, in the particular case, be approved by a prescribed person; orbin accordance with guidance from time to time prepared by a prescribed person.8In section 342E and this section, references to the person responsible for a pension arrangement are to—athe trustees, managers or provider of the arrangement, orbthe person having functions in relation to the arrangement corresponding to those of a trustee, manager or provider.9In this section—“prescribed” means prescribed by regulations;“regulations” means regulations made by the Secretary of State.10Regulations under this section may—amake different provision for different cases;bcontain such incidental, supplemental and transitional provisions as appear to the Secretary of State necessary or expedient.11Regulations under this section shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.3431This section applies where a person is made bankrupt who is or has been a party to a transaction for, or involving, the provision to him of credit.2The court may, on the application of the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, make an order with respect to the transaction if the transaction is or was extortionate and was not entered into more than 3 years before the commencement of the bankruptcy.3For the purposes of this section a transaction is extortionate if, having regard to the risk accepted by the person providing the credit—athe terms of it are or were such as to require grossly exorbitant payments to be made (whether unconditionally or in certain contingencies) in respect of the provision of the credit, orbit otherwise grossly contravened ordinary principles of fair dealing;and it shall be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, that a transaction, with respect to which an application is made under this section is or, as the case may be, was extortionate.4An order under this section with respect to any transaction may contain such one or more of the following as the court thinks fit, that is to say—aprovision setting aside the whole or part of any obligation created by the transaction;bprovision otherwise varying the terms of the transaction or varying the terms on which any security for the purposes of the transaction is held;cprovision requiring any person who is or was party to the transaction to pay to the trustee any sums paid to that person, by virtue of the transaction, by the bankrupt;dprovision requiring any person to surrender to the trustee any property held by him as security for the purposes of the transaction;eprovision directing accounts to be taken between any persons.5Any sums or property required to be paid or surrendered to the trustee in accordance with an order under this section shall be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate.6. . . . . . the powers conferred by this section are exercisable in relation to any transaction concurrently with any powers exerciseable under this Act in relation to that transaction as a transaction at an undervalue.3441The following applies where a person engaged in any business makes a general assignment to another person of his existing or future book debts, or any class of them, and is subsequently made bankrupt.2The assignment is void against the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate as regards book debts which were not paid before the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition, unless the assignment has been registered under the Bills of Sale Act 1878.3For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2)—a“assignment” includes an assignment by way of security or charge on book debts, andb“general assignment” does not include—ian assignment of book debts due at the date of the assignment from specified debtors or of debts becoming due under specified contracts, oriian assignment of book debts included either in a transfer of a business made in good faith and for value or in an assignment of assets for the benefit of creditors generally.4For the purposes of registration under the Act of 1878 an assignment of book debts is to be treated as if it were a bill of sale given otherwise than by way of security for the payment of a sum of money; and the provisions of that Act with respect to the registration of bills of sale apply accordingly with such necessary modifications as may be made by rules under that Act.3451The following applies where a contract has been made with a person who is subsequently made bankrupt.2The court may, on the application of any other paty to the contract, make an order discharging obligations under the contract on such terms as to payment by the applicant or the bankrupt of damages for non-performance or otherwise as appear to the court to be equitable.3Any damages payable by the bankrupt by virtue of an order of the court under this section are provable as a bankruptcy debt.4Where an undischarged bankrupt is a contractor in respect of any contract jointly with any person, that person may sue or be sued in respect of the contract without the joinder of the bankrupt.3461Subject to section 285 in Chapter II (restriction on proceedings and remedies) and to the following provisions of this section, where the creditor of any person who is made bankrupt has, before the commencement of the bankruptcy—aissued execution against the goods or land of that person, orbattached a debt due to that person from another person,that creditor is not entitled, as against the official reciever or trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, to retain the benefit of the execution or attachment, or any sums paid to avoid it, unless the execution or attachment was completed, or the sums were paid, before the commencement of the bankruptcy.1AFor the purposes of this section, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs is to be regarded as having attached a debt due to a person if it has taken action under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction from accounts) as a result of which an amount standing to the credit of an account held by that person is—asubject to arrangements made under paragraph 6(3) of that Schedule, orbthe subject of a deduction notice under paragraph 13 of that Schedule.2Subject as follows, where any goods of a person have been taken in execution, then, if before the completion of the execution notice is given to the enforcement officer or other officer charged with the execution that that person has been made bankrupt—athe enforcement officer or other officer shall on request deliver to the official receiver or trustee of the bankrupt’s estate the goods and any money seized or recovered in part satisfaction of the execution, butbthe costs of the execution are a first charge on the goods or money so delivered and the official receiver or trustee may sell the goods or a sufficient part of them for the purpose of satisfying the charge.3Subject to subsection (6) below, where—aunder an execution in respect of a judgment for a sum exceeding such sum as may be prescribed for the purposes of this subsection, the goods of any person are sold or money is paid in order to avoid a sale, andbbefore the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the day of the sale or payment the enforcement officer or other officer charged with the execution is given notice that a bankruptcy application has been made or a bankruptcy petition has been presented in relation to that person, andca bankruptcy order is or has been made as a result of that application or on that petition,the balance of the proceeds of sale or money paid, after deducting the costs of execution, shall (in priority to the claim of the execution creditor) be comprised in the bankrupt’s estate.4Accordingly, in the case of an execution in respect of a judgment for a sum exceeding the sum prescribed for the purposes of subsection (3), the enforcement officer or other officer charged with the execution—ashall not dispose of the balance mentioned in subsection (3) at any time within the period of 14 days so mentioned or while proceedings on a bankruptcy application are ongoing or (as the case may be) there is pending a bankruptcy petition of which he has been given notice under that subsection, andbshall pay that balance, where by virtue of that subsection it is comprised, in the bankrupt’s estate, to the official receiver or (if there is one) to the trustee or that estate.5For the purposes of this section—aan execution against goods is completed by seizure and sale or by the making of a charging order under section 1 of the Charging Orders Act 1979;ban execution against land is completed by seizure, by the appointment of a receiver or by the making of a charging order under that section;can attachment of a debt is completed by the receipt of the debt.6The rights conferred by subsections (1) to (3) on the official receiver or the trustee may, to such extent and on such terms as it thinks fit, be set aside by the court in favour of the creditor who has issued the execution or attached the debt.7Nothing in this section entitles the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate to claim goods from a person who has acquired them in good faith under a sale by an enforcement officer or other officer charged with an execution.8Neither subsection (2) nor subsection (3) applies in relation to any execution against property which has been acquired by or has devolved upon the bankrupt since the commencement of the bankruptcy, unless, at the time the execution is issued or before it is completed—athe property has been or is claimed for the bankrupt’s estate under section 307 (after-acquired property), andba copy of the notice given under that section has been or is served on the enforcement officer or other officer charged with the execution.9In this section “enforcement officer” means an individual who is authorised to act as an enforcement officer under the Courts Act 2003.3471 CRAR (the power of commercial rent arrears recovery under section 72(1) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007) is exercisable where the tenant is an undischarged bankrupt (subject to sections 252(2)(b) and 254(1) above and subsection (5) below) against goods and effects comprised in the bankrupt’s estate, but only for 6 months’ rent accrued due before the commencement of the bankruptcy.2 Where CRAR has been exercised to recover rent from an individual to whom a bankruptcy application or a bankruptcy petition relates and a bankruptcy order is subsequently made as a result of that application or on that petition, any amount recovered by way of CRAR which—ais in excess of the amount which by virtue of subsection (1) would have been recoverable after the commencement of the bankruptcy, orbis in respect of rent for a period or part of a period after goods were taken control of under CRAR ,shall be held for the bankrupt as apart of his estate.3Subsection (3A) applies where—aany person (whether or not a landlord or person entitled to rent) has distrained upon the goods or effects of an individual who is made bankrupt before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the distraint, orbHer Majesty's Revenue and Customs has been paid any amount from an account of an individual under Part 1 of Schedule 8 to the Finance (No. 2) Act 2015 (enforcement by deduction from accounts) and the individual is adjudged bankrupt before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the payment.3AWhere this subsection applies—ain a case within subsection (3)(a), the goods or effects, or the proceeds of their sale, andbin a case within subsection (3)(b), the amount in question,is charged for the benefit of the bankrupt's estate with the preferential debts of the bankrupt to the extent that the bankrupt's estate is for the time being insufficient for meeting them.4Where by virtue of any charge under subsection (3A) any person surrenders any goods or effects to the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate or makes a payment to such a trustee, that person ranks, in respect of the amount of the proceeds of the sale of those goods or effects by the trustee or, as the case may be, the amount of the payment, as a preferential creditor of the bankrupt, except as against so much of the bankrupt’s estate as is available for the payment of preferential creditors by virtue of the surrender or payment.5 CRAR is not exercisable at any time after the discharge of a bankrupt against any goods or effects comprised in the bankrupt’s estate.6. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8Subject to sections 252(2)(b) and 254(1) above nothing in this Group of Parts affects any right to distrain otherwise than for rent; and any such right is at any time exerciseable without restriction against property comprised in a bankrupt’s estate, even if that right is expressed by any enactment to be exerciseable in like manner as a right to distrain for rent.9Any right to distrain against property comprised in a bankrupt’s estate is exerciseable notwithstanding that the propety has vested in the trustee.10The provisions of this section are without prejudice to a landlord’s right in a bankruptcy to prove for any bankruptcy debt in respect of rent.11. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3481This section applies where—aa bankruptcy order is made in respect of an individual to whom another individual was an apprentice or articled clerk at the time when the application for the order was made or (as the case may be) the petition for the order was presented, andbthe bankrupt or the apprentice or clerk gives notice to the trustee terminating the apprenticeship or articles.2Subject to subsection (6) below, the indenture of apprenticeship or, as the case may be, the articles of agreement shall be discharged with effect from the commencement of the bankruptcy.3If any money has been paid by or on behalf of the apprentice or clerk to the bankrupt as a fee, the trustee may, on an application made by or on behalf of the apprentice or clerk, pay such sum to the apprentice or clerk as to the trustee thinks reasonable, having regard to—athe amount of the fee,bthe proportion of the period in respect of which the fee was paid that has been served by the apprentice or clerk before the commencement of the bankruptcy, andcthe other circumstances of the case.4The power of the trustee to make a payment under subsection (3) has priority over his obligation to distribute the bankrupt’s estate.5Instead of making a payment under subsection (3), the trustee may, if it appears to him expedient to do so on an application made by or on behalf of the apprentice or clerk, transfer the indenture or articles to a person other than the bankrupt.6Where a transfer is made under subsection (5), subsection (2) has effect only as between the apprentice or clerk and the bankrupt.3491Subject as follows, a lien or other right to retain possession of any of the books, papers or other records of a bankrupt is unenforceable to the extent that its enforcement would deny possession of any books, papers or other records to the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate.2Subsection (1) does not apply to a lien on documents which give a title to property and are held as such.349A1This section applies where a bankrupt had become party to a contract containing an arbitration agreement before the commencement of his bankruptcy.2If the trustee in bankruptcy adopts the contract, the arbitration agreement is enforceable by or against the trustee in relation to matters arising from or connected with the contract.3If the trustee in bankruptcy does not adopt the contract and a matter to which the arbitration agreement applies requires to be determined in connection with or for the purposes of the bankruptcy proceedings—athe trustee with the consent of the creditors’ committee, orbany other party to the agreement,may apply to the court which may, if it thinks fit in all the circumstances of the case, order that the matter be referred to arbitration in accordance with the arbitration agreement.4In this section—“arbitration agreement” has the same meaning as in Part I of the Arbitration Act 1996; and“the court” means the court which has jurisdiction in the bankruptcy proceedings.Chapter VI3501Subject to section 360(3) below, this Chapter applies — awhere an adjudicator has made a bankruptcy order as a result of a bankruptcy application, orbwhere the court has made a bankruptcy order on a bankruptcy petition.2This Chapter applies whether or not the bankruptcy order is annulled, but proceedings for an offence under this Chapter shall not be instituted after the annulment.3Without prejudice to his liability in respect of a subsequent bankruptcy, the bankrupt is not guilty of an offence under this Chapter in respect of anything done after his discharge; but nothing in this Group of Parts prevents the institution of proceedings against a discharged bankrupt for an offence committed before his discharge.3ASubsection (3) is without prejudice to any provision of this Chapter which applies to a person in respect of whom a bankruptcy restrictions order is in force.4It is not a defence in proceedings for an offence under this Chapter that anything relied on, in whole or in part, as constituting that offence was done outside England and Wales.5Proceedings for an offence under this Chapter or under the rules shall not be instituted except by the Secretary of State or by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions.6A person guilty of any offence under this Chapter is liable to imprisonment or a fine, or both.351In the following provisions of this Chapter—areferences to property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate or to property possession of which is required to be delivered up to the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate include any property which would be such property if a notice in respect of it were given under section 307 (after-acquired property) , section 308 (personal property and effects of bankrupt having more than replacement value) or section 308A (vesting in trustee of certain tenancies);b“the initial period” means the period between the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition and the commencement of the bankruptcy; ...c. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .352Where in the case of an offence under any provision of this Chapter it is stated that this section applies, a person is not guilty of the offence if he proves that, at the time of the conduct constituting the offence, he had no intent to defraud or to conceal the state of his affairs.3531The bankrupt is guilty of an offence if—ahe does not to the best of his knowledge and belief disclose all the property comprised in his estate to the official receiver or the trustee, orbhe does not inform the official receiver or the trustee of any disposal of any property which but for the disposal would be so comprised, stating how, when, to whom and for what consideration the property was disposed of.2Subsection (1)(b) does not apply to any disposal in the ordinary course of a business carried on by the bankrupt or to any payment of the ordinary expenses of the bankrupt or his family.3Section 352 applies to this offence.3541The bankrupt is guilty of an offence if—ahe does not deliver up possession to the official receiver or trustee, or as the official receiver or trustee may direct, of such part of the property comprised in his estate as is in his possession or under his control and possession of which he is

to do so by the official receiver , the trustee or the court—ato account for the loss of any substantial part of his property incurred in the 12 months before the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition or in the initial period, orbto give a satisfactory explanation of the manner in which such a loss was incurred.3551The bankrupt is guilty of an offence if he does not deliver up possession to the official receiver or the trustee, or as the official receiver or trustee may direct, of all books, papers and other records of which he

estate or affairs; ordin the 12 months before the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition, or in the initial period, he did anything

if—ahe disposes of, or alters or makes any omission in, or causes or permits the disposal, altering or making of any omission in, any book, document or record relating to his estate or affairs, orbin

offence under paragraph (a) if the bankruptcy order had been made before he did it.Section 352 applies to this offence.4In their application to a trading record subsections (2)(d) and (3)(b) shall have effect as if the reference to 12 months were a reference to two years.5In subsection (4) “trading record” means a book, document or record which shows or explains the transactions or financial position of a person’s business, including—aa periodic record of cash paid and received,ba statement of periodic stock-taking, andcexcept in the case of goods sold by way of retail trade, a record of

order had been made before he did it; ordhe is, or at any time has been, guilty of any false representation or other fraud for the purpose of obtaining the consent of his creditors, or any of them, to an agreement with reference to his affairs or to his bankruptcy.3571The bankrupt is guilty of an offence if he makes or causes to be made, or has in the period of 5 years ending with the commencement of the bankruptcy made or caused to be made, any gift or transfer of, or any charge on,his property.Section 352 applies to this offence.2The reference to making a transfer of or charge on any property

months before the making of the bankruptcy application or (as the case may be) the presentation of the bankruptcy petition, or in the initial period, he disposed of any property which he had obtained on credit and, at the time he disposed of it, had not paid for.Section 352 applies to this offence.2A person is guilty of an offence if, in the 12 months before the making of the bankruptcy

the general control of the court and, subject to the provisions in this Group of Parts, the court has full power to decide all questions of priorities and all other questions, whether of law or fact, arising in any bankruptcy.2Without prejudice to any other provision in this Group of Parts, an undischarged bankrupt or a discharged bankrupt whose estate is still being administered under Chapter IV of this Part shall do all such things as he may be directed to do by the court for the purposes of his bankruptcy or, as the case may be, the administration of that estate.3The official receiver or the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate may at any time apply to the court for a direction under subsection (2).4If any person without reasonable excuse fails to comply with any obligation imposed on him by subsection (2), he is guilty of a contempt of court and liable to be punished accordingly (in addition to any other punishment to which may be subject).3641In the cases specified in the next subsection the court may cause a warrant to be issued to a constable or prescribed officer of the court—afor the arrest of a debtor to whom a bankruptcy application or a bankruptcy petition relates or of an undischarged bankrupt, or of a discharged bankrupt whose estate is still being administered under Chapter IV of this Part, andbfor the seizure of any books, papers, records, money or goods in the possession of a person arrested under the warrant,and may authorise a person arrested under such a warrant to be kept in custody, and anything seized under such a warrant to be held, in accordance with the rules, until such time as the court may order.2The powers conferred by subsection (1) are exercisable in relation to a debtor or undischarged or discharged bankrupt if, at any time after the making of the bankruptcy application or the presentation of the bankruptcy petition relating to him or the making of the bankruptcy order against him, it appears to the court—athat there are reasonable grounds for believing that he has absconded, or is about to abscond, with a view to avoiding or delaying the payment of any of his debts or his appearance to a bankruptcy petition or to avoiding, delaying or disrupting any proceedings in bankruptcy against him or any examination of his affairs, orbthat he is about to remove his goods with a view to preventing or delaying possession being taken of them by the official receiver or the trustee of his estate, orcthat there are reasonable grounds for believing that he has concealed or destroyed, or is about to conceal or destroy, any of his goods or any books, papers or records which might be of use to his creditors in the course of his bankruptcy or in connection with the administration of his estate, ordthat he has, without the leave of the official receiver or the trustee of his estate, removed any goods in his possession which exceed in value such sums as may be prescribed for the purposes of this paragraph orethat he has failed, without reasonable excuse, to attend any examination ordered by the court.3651At any time after a bankruptcy order has been made, the court may, on the application of the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, issue a warrant authorising the person to whom it is directed to seize any property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate which is, or any books, papers or records relating to the bankrupt’s estate or affairs which are, in the possession or under the control of the bankrupt or any other person who is required to deliver the property, books, papers or records to the official receiver or trustee.2Any person executing a warrant under this section may, for the purpose of seizing any property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate or any books, papers or records relating to the bankrupt’s estate or affairs, break open any premises where the bankrupt or anything that may be seized under the warrant is or is believed to be and any receptacle of the bankrupt which contains or is believed to contain anything that may be so seized.3If, after a bankruptcy order has been made, the court is satisfied that any property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate is, or any books, papers or records relating to the bankrupt’s estate or affairs are, concealed in any premises not belonging to him, it may issue a warrant authorising any constable or prescribed officer of the court to search those premises for the property, books, papers or records.4A warrant under subsection (3) shall not be executed except in the prescribed manner and in accordance with its terms.3661At any time after a bankruptcy order has been made the court may, on the application of the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, summon to appear before it—athe bankrupt or the bankrupt’s spouse or former spouse or civil partner or former civil partner,bany person known or believed to have any property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate in his possession or to be indebted to the bankrupt,cany person appearing to the court to be able to give information concerning the bankrupt or the bankrupt’s dealings, affairs or property.The court may require any such person as is mentioned in paragraph (b) or (c) to submit a witness statement verified by a statement of truth to the court containing an account of his dealings with the bankrupt or to produce any documents in his possession or under his control relating to the bankrupt or the bankrupt’s dealings, affairs or property.2Without prejudice to section 364, the following applies in a case where—aa person without reasonable excuse fails to appear before the court when he is summoned to do so under this section, orbthere are reasonable grounds for believing that a person has absconded, or is about to abscond, with a view to avoiding his appearance before the court under this section.3The court may, for the purpose of bringing that person and anything in his possession before the court, cause a warrant to be issued to a constable or prescribed officer of the court—afor the arrest of that person, andbfor the seizure of any books, papers, records, money or goods in that person’s possession.4The court may authorise a person arrested under such a warrant to be kept in custody, and anything seized under such a warrant to be held, in accordance with the rules, until that person is brought before the court under the warrant or until such other times as the court may order.3671If it appears to the court, on consideration of any evidence obtained under section 366 or this section, that any person has in his possession any property comprised in the bankrupt’s estate, the court may, on the application of the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, order that person to deliver the whole or any part of the property to the official receiver or the trustee at such time, in such manner and on such terms as the court thinks fit.2If it appears to the court, on consideration of any evidence obtained under section 366 or this section, that any person is indebted to the bankrupt, the court may, on the application of the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, order that person to pay to the official receiver or trustee, at such time and in such manner as the court may direct, the whole or part of the amount due, whether in full discharge of the debt or otherwise as the court thinks fit.3The court may, if it thinks fit, order that any person who if within the jurisdiction of the court would be liable to be summoned to appear before it under section 366 shall be examined in any part of the United Kingdom where he may be for the time being, or in any place outside the United Kingdom.4Any person who appears or is brought before the court under section 366 or this section may be examined on oath, either orally or by interrogatories, concerning the bankrupt or the bankrupt’s dealings, affairs and property.368Sections 366 and 367 apply where an interim receiver has been appointed under section 286 as they apply where a bankruptcy order has been made, as if—areferences to the official receiver or the trustee were to the interim receiver, andbreferences to the bankrupt and to his estate were (respectively) to the debtor and his property.3691For the purposes of an examination under section 290 (public examination of bankrupt) or proceedings under sections 366 to 368, the court may, on the application of the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, order an inland revenue official to produce to the court—aany return, account or accounts submitted (whether before or after the commencement of the bankruptcy) by the bankrupt to any inland revenue official,bany assessment or determination made (whether before or after the commencement of the bankruptcy) in relation to the bankrupt by any inland revenue official, orcany correspondence (whether before or after the commencement of the bankruptcy) between the bankrupt and any inland revenue official.2Where the court has made an order under subsection (1) for the purposes of any examination or proceedings, the court may, at any time after the document to which the order relates is produced to it, by order authorised the disclosure of the document, or of any part of its contents, to the official receiver, the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate or the bankrupt’s creditors.3The court shall not address an order under subsection (1) to an inland revenue official unless it is satisfied that that official is dealing, or has dealt, with the affairs of the bankrupt.4Where any document to which an order under subsection (1) relates is not in the possession of the official to whom the order is addressed, it is the duty of that official to take all reasonable steps to secure possession of it and, if he fails to do so, to report the reasons for his failure to the court.5Where any document to which an order under subsection (1) relates is in the possession of an inland revenue official other than the one to whom the order is addressed, it is the duty of the official in possession of the document, at the request of the official to whom the order is addressed, to deliver it to the official making the request.6In this section “inland revenue official” means any inspector or collector of taxes appointed by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue or any person appointed by the Commissioners to serve in any other capacity.7This section does not apply for the purposes of an examination under sections 366 and 367 which takes places by virtue of section 368 (interim receiver).3701The court may, on an application under this section, appoint any person to be the special manager—aof a bankrupt’s estate, orbof the business of an undischarged bankrupt, orcof the property or business of a debtor in whose case an interim receiver has been appointed under section 286.2An application under this section may be made by the interim receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate in any case where it appears to the interim receiver or trustee that the nature of the estate, property or business, or the interests of the creditors generally, require the appointment of another person to manage the estate, property or business.3A special manager appointed under this section has such powers as may be entrusted to him by the court.4The power of the court under subsection (3) to entrust powers to a special manager includes power to direct that any provision in ths Group of Parts that has effect in relation to the official receiver, interim receiver or trustee shall have the like effect in relation to the special manager for the purposes of the carrying out by the special manager of any of the functions of the official receiver, interim receiver or trustee.5A special manager appointed under this section shall—agive such security as may be prescribed,bprepare and keep such accounts as may be prescribed, andcproduce those accounts in accordance with the rules to the Secretary of State or to such other persons as may be prescribed.3711Where a bankruptcy order has been made, the court may from time to time, on the application of the official receiver or the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate, order a postal operator (within the meaning of Part 3 of the Postal Services Act 2011) to re-direct and send or deliver to the official receiver or trustee or otherwise any postal packet (within the meaning of that Act ) which would otherwise be sent or delivered by the operator concerned to the bankrupt at such place or places as may be specified in the order.2An order under this section has effect for such period, not exceeding 3 months, as may be specified in the order.

provides for the contract or the supply to terminate, or any other thing to take place, because the individual becomes subject to an insolvency procedure other than a voluntary arrangement;bit entitles a supplier to terminate the contract or the supply, or do any other thing, because the individual becomes subject to an insolvency procedure other than a voluntary arrangement; orcit entitles a supplier to terminate the contract or the supply because of an event that occurs, or may occur, after the voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual is approved.3Where an insolvency-related term of a contract ceases to have effect under this section the supplier may—aterminate the contract, if the condition in subsection (4) is met;bterminate the supply, if the condition in subsection (5) is met.4The condition in this subsection is that—athe supervisor of the voluntary arrangement consents to the termination of the contract,bthe court grants permission for the termination of the contract, orcany charges in respect of the supply that are incurred after the voluntary arrangement is approved are not paid within the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which payment is due.The court may grant permission under paragraph (b) only if satisfied that the continuation of the contract would cause the supplier hardship.5The condition in this subsection is that—athe supplier gives written notice to the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement that the supply will be terminated unless the supervisor personally guarantees the payment of any charges in respect of the continuation of the supply after the arrangement was approved, andbthe supervisor does not give that guarantee within the period of 14 days beginning with the day the notice is received.6For the purposes of securing that the interests of suppliers are protected, where—aan insolvency-related term of a contract (the “original term”) ceases to have effect by virtue of subsection (1), andba subsequent voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual is approved,the contract is treated for the purposes of subsections (1) to (5) as if, immediately before the subsequent voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual is approved, it included an insolvency-related term identical to the original term.7A contract for the supply of essential goods or services is a contract for a supply mentioned in section 372(4).8An insolvency-related term of a contract for the supply of essential goods or services to an individual is a provision of the contract under which—athe contract or the supply would terminate, or any other thing would take place, because the voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual is approved,bthe supplier would be entitled to terminate the contract or the supply, or to do any other thing, because the voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual is approved, orcthe supplier would be entitled to terminate the contract or the supply because of an event that occurred before the voluntary arrangement proposed by the individual is approved.9Subsection (1) does not have effect in relation to a contract entered into before 1st October 2015.3731The High Court and the county court have jurisdiction throughout England and Wales for the purposes of the Parts in this Group.2For the purposes of those Parts, the county court has, in addition to its

prescribed by the rules; and nothing in that subsection invalidates any proceedings on the grounds that they were initiated or continued in the wrong court.3741The Lord Chancellor may , with the concurrence of the Lord Chief Justice, by order designate the areas which are for the time being to be comprised, for the purposes of the Parts in this Group, in the London insolvency district and the insolvency district , or districts, of the county court. 2An order under this section may contain such incidental, supplemental and transitional provisions as may appear to the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice necessary or expedient.3An order under this section shall be made by statutory instrument and, after being made, shall be laid before each House of Parliament.4Subject to any order under this section—athe district which, immediately before the appointed day, is the London bankruptcy district becomes, on that day, the London insolvency district;bany district which immediately before that day is the bankruptcy district of a county court becomes, on that day, the insolvency district of that court, andcany county court which immediately before that day is excluded from having jurisdiction in bankruptcy is excluded, on and after that day, from having jurisdiction for the purposes of the Parts in this Group.5The Lord Chief Justice may nominate a judicial office holder (as defined in section 109(4) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005) to exercise his functions under this section.3751Every court having jurisdiction for the purposes of the Parts in this Group may review, rescind or vary any order made by it in the exercise of that jurisdiction.2An appeal from a decision made in the exercise of jurisdiction for the purposes of those Parts by the county court or by an insolvency and companies court judge lies to a single judge of the High Court; and an appeal from a decision of that judge on such an appeal lies . . . to the Court of Appeal.3 The county court is not, in the exercise of its jurisdiction for the purposes of those Parts, to be subject to be restrained by the order of any other court, and no appeal lies from its decision in the exercise of that jurisdiction except as provided by this section.376Where by any provision in this Group of Parts or by the rules the time for doing anything (including anything in relation to a bankruptcy application) is limited, the court may extend the time, either before or after it has expired, on such terms, if any, as it thinks fit.377The acts of a person as the trustee of a bankrupt’s estate or as a special manager, and the acts of the creditors’ committee established for any bankruptcy, are valid notwithstanding any defect in the appointment, election or qualifications of the trustee or

about the matter is to be made by a creditors' decision procedure.2If the rules provide for an individual's creditors to make a decision about the remuneration of any person, they must provide that

the partnership.2A person who is partially authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to individuals may nonetheless not accept an appointment to act in relation to an individual if at the time of the appointment the person is aware that the individual—ais or was a member of a partnership other than a Scottish partnership, andbhas outstanding liabilities in relation to the partnership.3Subject to subsection (9), a person who is partially authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to companies may nonetheless not continue to act in relation to a company if the person becomes aware that the company—ais or was a member of a partnership, andbhas outstanding liabilities in relation to the partnership,unless the person is granted permission to continue to act by the court.4Subject to subsection (9), a person who is partially authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to individuals may nonetheless not continue to act in relation to an individual if the person becomes aware that the individual—ais or was a member of a partnership other than a Scottish partnership, andbhas outstanding liabilities in relation to the partnership,unless the person is granted permission to continue to act by the court.5The court may grant a person permission to continue to act for the purposes of subsection (3) or (4) if it is satisfied that the person is competent to do so.6A person who is partially authorised and becomes aware as mentioned in subsection (3) or (4) may alternatively apply to the court for an order (a “ replacement order ”) appointing in his or her place a person who is fully authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner in relation to the company or (as the case may be) the individual.7A person may apply to the court for permission to continue to act or for a replacement order under—awhere acting in relation to a company, this section or, if it applies, section 168(5B) (member of insolvent partnership: England and Wales);bwhere acting in relation to an individual, this section or, if it applies, section 303(2C) (member of insolvent partnership: England and Wales).8A person who acts as an insolvency practitioner in contravention of any of subsections (1) to (4) is guilty of an offence under section 389 (acting without qualification).9A person does not contravene subsection (3) or (4) by continuing to act as an insolvency practitioner during the permitted period if, within the period of 7 business days beginning with the day after the day on which the person becomes aware as mentioned in the subsection, the person—aapplies to the court for permission to continue to act, orbapplies to the court for a replacement order.10For the purposes of subsection (9)—“business day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday or a day which is a bank holiday in any part of Great Britain;“permitted period” means the period beginning with the day on which the person became aware as mentioned in subsection (3) or (4) and ending on the earlier of—the expiry of the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day on which the person applies to the court as mentioned in subsection (9)(a) or (b), andthe day on which the court disposes of the application (by granting or refusing it);“replacement order” has the meaning given by subsection (6).3911The Secretary of State may by order, if satisfied that a body meets the requirements of subsection (4), declare the body to be a recognised professional body which is capable of providing its insolvency specialist members with full authorisation or partial authorisation.2The Secretary of State may by order, if satisfied that a body meets the requirements of subsection (4), declare the body to be a recognised professional body which is capable of providing its insolvency specialist members with partial authorisation only of the kind specified in the order (as to which, see section 390A(1)).3Section 391A makes provision about the making by a body of an application to the Secretary of State for an order under this section.4The requirements are that—athe body regulates (or is going to regulate) the practice of a profession,bthe body has rules which it is going to maintain and enforce for securing that its insolvency specialist members—iare fit and proper persons to act as insolvency practitioners, andiimeet acceptable requirements as to education and practical training and experience, andcthe body's rules and practices for or in connection with authorising persons to act as insolvency practitioners, and its rules and practices for or in connection with regulating persons acting as such, are designed to ensure that the regulatory objectives are met (as to which, see section 391C).5An order of the Secretary of State under this section has effect from such date as is specified in the order.6An order under this section may be revoked by an order under section 391L or 391N (and see section 415A(1)(b)).7In this Part—areferences to members of a recognised professional body are to persons who, whether members of that body or not, are subject to its rules in the practice of the profession in question;breferences to insolvency specialist members of a professional body are to members who are permitted by or under the rules of the body to act as insolvency practitioners.8A reference in this Part to a recognised professional body is to a body recognised under this section (and see sections 391L(6) and 391N(5)).391A1An application for an order under section 391(1) or (2) must—abe made to the Secretary of State in such form and manner as the Secretary of State may require,bbe accompanied by such information as the Secretary of State may require, andcbe supplemented by such additional information as the Secretary of State may require at any time between receiving the application and determining it.2The requirements which may be imposed under subsection (1) may differ as between different applications.3The Secretary of State may require information provided under this section to be in such form, and verified in such manner, as the Secretary of State may specify.4An application for an order under section 391(1) or (2) must be accompanied by—aa copy of the applicant's rules,ba copy of the applicant's policies and practices, andca copy of any guidance issued by the applicant in writing.5The reference in subsection (4)(c) to guidance issued by the applicant is a reference to guidance or recommendations which are—aissued or made by it which will apply to its insolvency specialist members or to persons seeking to become such members,brelevant for the purposes of this Part, andcintended to have continuing effect,including guidance or recommendations relating to the admission or expulsion of members.6The Secretary of State may refuse an application for an order under section 391(1) or (2) if the Secretary of State considers that recognition of the body concerned is unnecessary having regard to the existence of one or more other bodies which have been or are likely to be recognised under section 391.7Subsection (8) applies where the Secretary of State refuses an application for an order under section 391(1) or (2); and it applies regardless of whether the application is refused on the ground mentioned in subsection (6), because the Secretary of State is not satisfied as mentioned in section 391(1) or (2) or because a fee has not been paid (see section 415A(1)(b)).8The Secretary of State must give the applicant a written notice of the Secretary of State's decision; and the notice must set out the reasons for refusing the application.391B1In discharging regulatory functions, a recognised professional body must, so far as is reasonably practicable, act in a way—awhich is compatible with the regulatory objectives, andbwhich the body considers most appropriate for the purpose of meeting those objectives.2In discharging functions under this Part, the Secretary of State must have regard to the regulatory objectives.391C1This section has effect for the purposes of this Part.2“Regulatory functions”, in relation to a recognised professional body, means any functions the body has—aunder or in relation to its arrangements for or in connection with—iauthorising persons to act as insolvency practitioners, oriiregulating persons acting as insolvency practitioners, orbin connection with the making or alteration of those arrangements.3“Regulatory objectives” means the objectives of—ahaving a system of regulating persons acting as insolvency practitioners that—isecures fair treatment for persons affected by their acts and omissions,iireflects the regulatory principles, andiiiensures consistent outcomes,bencouraging an independent and competitive insolvency-practitioner profession whose members—iprovide high quality services at a cost to the recipient which is fair and reasonable,iiact transparently and with integrity, andiiiconsider the interests of all creditors in any particular case,cpromoting the maximisation of the value of returns to creditors and promptness in making those returns, anddprotecting and promoting the public interest.4In subsection (3)(a), “regulatory principles” means—athe principles that regulatory activities should be transparent, accountable, proportionate, consistent and targeted only at cases in which action is needed, andbany other principle appearing to the body concerned (in the case of the duty under section 391B(1)), or to the Secretary of State (in the case of the duty under section 391B(2)), to lead to best regulatory practice.391D1This section applies if the Secretary of State is satisfied that an act or omission of a recognised professional body (or a series of such acts or omissions) in discharging one or more of its regulatory functions has had, or is likely to have, an adverse impact on the achievement of one or more of the regulatory objectives.2The Secretary of State may, if in all the circumstances of the case satisfied that it is appropriate to do so, direct the body to take such steps as the Secretary of State considers will counter the adverse impact, mitigate its effect or prevent its occurrence or recurrence.3A direction under this section may require a recognised professional body—ato take only such steps as it has power to take under its regulatory arrangements;bto take steps with a view to the modification of any part of its regulatory arrangements.4A direction under this section may require a recognised professional body—ato take steps with a view to the institution of, or otherwise in respect of, specific regulatory proceedings;bto take steps in respect of all, or a specified class of, such proceedings.5For the purposes of this section, a direction to take steps includes a direction which requires a recognised professional body to refrain from taking a particular course of action.6In this section “regulatory arrangements”, in relation to a recognised professional body, means the arrangements that the body has for or in connection with—aauthorising persons to act as insolvency practitioners, orbregulating persons acting as insolvency practitioners.391E1Before giving a recognised professional body a direction under section 391D, the Secretary of State must give the body a notice accompanied by a draft of the proposed direction.2The notice under subsection (1) must—astate that the Secretary of State proposes to give the body a direction in the form of the accompanying draft,bspecify why the Secretary of State has reached the conclusions mentioned in section 391D(1) and (2), andcspecify a period within which the body may make written representations with respect to the proposal.3The period specified under subsection (2)(c)—amust begin with the date on which the notice is given to the body, andbmust not be less than 28 days.4On the expiry of that period, the Secretary of State must decide whether to give the body the proposed direction.5The Secretary of State must give notice of that decision to the body.6Where the Secretary of State decides to give the proposed direction, the notice under subsection (5) must—acontain the direction,bstate the time at which the direction is to take effect, andcspecify the Secretary of State's reasons for the decision to give the direction.7Where the Secretary of State decides to give the proposed direction, the Secretary of State must publish the notice under subsection (5); but this subsection does not apply to a direction to take any step with a view to the institution of, or otherwise in respect of, regulatory proceedings against an individual.8The Secretary of State may revoke a direction under section 391D; and, where doing so, the Secretary of State—amust give the body to which the direction was given notice of the revocation, andbmust publish the notice and, if the notice under subsection (5) was published under subsection (7), must do so (if possible) in the same manner as that in which that notice was published.391F1This section applies if the Secretary of State is satisfied—athat a recognised professional body has failed to comply with a requirement to which this section applies, andbthat, in all the circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to impose a financial penalty on the body.2This section applies to a requirement imposed on the recognised professional body—aby a direction given under section 391D, orbby a provision of this Act or of subordinate legislation under this Act.3The Secretary of State may impose a financial penalty, in respect of the failure, of such amount as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.4In deciding what amount is appropriate, the Secretary of State—amust have regard to the nature of the requirement which has not been complied with, andbmust not take into account the Secretary of State's costs in discharging functions under this Part.5A financial penalty under this section is payable to the Secretary of State; and sums received by the Secretary of State in respect of a financial penalty under this section (including by way of interest) are to be paid into the Consolidated Fund.6In sections 391G to 391I, “penalty” means a financial penalty under this section.391G1Before imposing a penalty on a recognised professional body, the Secretary of State must give notice to the body—astating that the Secretary of State proposes to impose a penalty and the amount of the proposed penalty,bspecifying the requirement in question,cstating why the Secretary of State is satisfied as mentioned in section 391F(1), anddspecifying a period within which the body may make written representations with respect to the proposal.2The period specified under subsection (1)(d)—amust begin with the date on which the notice is given to the body, andbmust not be less than 28 days.3On the expiry of that period, the Secretary of State must decide—awhether to impose a penalty, andbwhether the penalty should be the amount stated in the notice or a reduced amount.4The Secretary of State must give notice of the decision to the body.5Where the Secretary of State decides to impose a penalty, the notice under subsection (4) must—astate that the Secretary of State has imposed a penalty on the body and its amount,bspecify the requirement in question and state—iwhy it appears to the Secretary of State that the requirement has not been complied with, oriiwhere, by that time, the requirement has been complied with, why it appeared to the Secretary of State when giving the notice under subsection (1) that the requirement had not been complied with, andcspecify a time by which the penalty is required to be paid.6The time specified under subsection (5)(c) must be at least three months after the date on which the notice under subsection (4) is given to the body.7Where the Secretary of State decides to impose a penalty, the Secretary of State must publish the notice under subsection (4).8The Secretary of State may rescind or reduce a penalty imposed on a recognised professional body; and, where doing so, the Secretary of State—amust give the body notice that the penalty has been rescinded or reduced to the amount stated in the notice, andbmust publish the notice; and it must (if possible) be published in the same manner as that in which the notice under subsection (4) was published.391H1A recognised professional body on which a penalty is imposed may appeal to the court on one or more of the appeal grounds.2The appeal grounds are—athat the imposition of the penalty was not within the Secretary of State's power under section 391F;bthat the requirement in respect of which the penalty was imposed had been complied with before the notice under section 391G(1) was given;cthat the requirements of section 391G have not been complied with in relation to the imposition of the penalty and the interests of the body have been substantially prejudiced as a result;dthat the amount of the penalty is unreasonable;ethat it was unreasonable of the Secretary of State to require the penalty imposed to be paid by the time specified in the notice under section 391G(5)(c).3An appeal under this section must be made within the period of three months beginning with the day on which the notice under section 391G(4) in respect of the penalty is given to the body.4On an appeal under this section the court may—aquash the penalty,bsubstitute a penalty of such lesser amount as the court considers appropriate, orcin the case of the appeal ground in subsection (2)(e), substitute for the time imposed by the Secretary of State a different time.5Where the court substitutes a penalty of a lesser amount, it may require the payment of interest on the substituted penalty from such time, and at such rate, as it considers just and equitable.6Where the court substitutes a later time for the time specified in the notice under section 391G(5)(c), it may require the payment of interest on the penalty from the substituted time at such rate as it considers just and equitable.7Where the court dismisses the appeal, it may require the payment of interest on the penalty from the time specified in the notice under section 391G(5)(c) at such rate as it considers just and equitable.8In this section, “the court” means the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session.391I1If the whole or part of a penalty is not paid by the time by which it is required to be paid, the unpaid balance from time to time carries interest at the rate for the time being specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838 (but this is subject to any requirement imposed by the court under section 391H(5), (6) or (7)).2If an appeal is made under section 391H in relation to a penalty, the penalty is not required to be paid until the appeal has been determined or withdrawn.3Subsection (4) applies where the whole or part of a penalty has not been paid by the time it is required to be paid and—ano appeal relating to the penalty has been made under section 391H during the period within which an appeal may be made under that section, orban appeal has been made under that section and determined or withdrawn.4The Secretary of State may recover from the recognised professional body in question, as a debt due to the Secretary of State, any of the penalty and any interest which has not been paid.391J1This section applies if the Secretary of State is satisfied that an act or omission of a recognised professional body (or a series of such acts or omissions) in discharging one or more of its regulatory functions has had, or is likely to have, an adverse impact on the achievement of one or more of the regulatory objectives.2The Secretary of State may, if in all the circumstances of the case satisfied that it is appropriate to do so, publish a statement reprimanding the body for the act or omission (or series of acts or omissions).391K1If the Secretary of State proposes to publish a statement under section 391J in respect of a recognised professional body, it must give the body a notice—astating that the Secretary of State proposes to publish such a statement and setting out the terms of the proposed statement,bspecifying the acts or omissions to which the proposed statement relates, andcspecifying a period within which the body may make written representations with respect to the proposal.2The period specified under subsection (1)(c)—amust begin with the date on which the notice is given to the body, andbmust not be less than 28 days.3On the expiry of that period, the Secretary of State must decide whether to publish the statement.4The Secretary of State may vary the proposed statement; but before doing so, the Secretary of State must give the body notice—asetting out the proposed variation and the reasons for it, andbspecifying a period within which the body may make written representations with respect to the proposed variation.5The period specified under subsection (4)(b)—amust begin with the date on which the notice is given to the body, andbmust not be less than 28 days.6On the expiry of that period, the Secretary of State must decide whether to publish the statement as varied.391L1An order under section 391(1) or (2) in relation to a recognised professional body may be revoked by the Secretary of State by order if the Secretary of State is satisfied that—aan act or omission of the body (or a series of such acts or omissions) in discharging one or more of its regulatory functions has had, or is likely to have, an adverse impact on the achievement of one or more of the regulatory objectives, andbit is appropriate in all the circumstances of the case to revoke the body's recognition under section 391.2If the condition set out in subsection (3) is met, an order under section 391(1) in relation to a recognised professional body may be revoked by the Secretary of State by an order which also declares the body concerned to be a recognised professional body which is capable of providing its insolvency specialist members with partial authorisation only of the kind specified in the order (see section 390A(1)).3The condition is that the Secretary of State is satisfied—aas mentioned in subsection (1)(a), andbthat it is appropriate in all the circumstances of the case for the body to be declared to be a recognised professional body which is capable of providing its insolvency specialist members with partial authorisation only of the kind specified in the order.4In this Part—aan order under subsection (1) is referred to as a “revocation order”;ban order under subsection (2) is referred to as a “partial revocation order”.5A revocation order or partial revocation order—ahas effect from such date as is specified in the order, andbmay make provision for members of the body in question to continue to be treated as fully or partially authorised (as the case may be) to act as insolvency practitioners for a specified period after the order takes effect.6A partial revocation order has effect as if it were an order made under section 391(2).391M1Before making a revocation order or partial revocation order in relation to a recognised professional body, the Secretary of State must give notice to the body—astating that the Secretary of State proposes to make the order and the terms of the proposed order,bspecifying the Secretary of State's reasons for proposing to make the order, andcspecifying a period within which the body, members of the body or other persons likely to be affected by the proposal may make written representations with respect to it.2Where the Secretary of State gives a notice under subsection (1), the Secretary of State must publish the notice on the same day.3The period specified under subsection (1)(c)—amust begin with the date on which the notice is given to the body, andbmust not be less than 28 days.4On the expiry of that period, the Secretary of State must decide whether to make the revocation order or (as the case may be) partial revocation order in relation to the body.5The Secretary of State must give notice of the decision to the body.6Where the Secretary of State decides to make the order, the notice under subsection (5) must specify—awhen the order is to take effect, andbthe Secretary of State's reasons for making the order.7A notice under subsection (5) must be published; and it must (if possible) be published in the same manner as that in which the notice under subsection (1) was published.391N1An order under section 391(1) or (2) in relation to a recognised professional body may be revoked by the Secretary of State by order if—athe body has requested that an order be made under this subsection, andbthe Secretary of State is satisfied that it is appropriate in all the circumstances of the case to revoke the body's recognition under section 391.2An order under section 391(1) in relation to a recognised professional body may be revoked by the Secretary of State by an order which also declares the body concerned to be a recognised professional body which is capable of providing its insolvency specialist members with partial authorisation only of the kind specified in the order (see section 390A(1)) if—athe body has requested that an order be made under this subsection, andbthe Secretary of State is satisfied that it is appropriate in all the circumstances of the case for the body to be declared to be a recognised professional body which is capable of providing its insolvency specialist members with partial authorisation only of the kind specified in the order.3Where the Secretary of State decides to make an order under this section the Secretary of State must publish a notice specifying—awhen the order is to take effect, andbthe Secretary of State's reasons for making the order.4An order under this section—ahas effect from such date as is specified in the order, andbmay make provision for members of the body in question to continue to be treated as fully or partially authorised (as the case may be) to act as insolvency practitioners for a specified period after the order takes effect.5An order under subsection (2) has effect as if it were an order made under section 391(2).391O1For the purposes of this Part a “direct sanctions order” is an order made by the court against a person who is acting as an insolvency practitioner which—adeclares that the person is no longer authorised (whether fully or partially) to act as an insolvency practitioner;bdeclares that the person is no longer fully authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner but remains partially authorised to act as such either in relation to companies or individuals, as specified in the order;cdeclares that the person's authorisation to act as an insolvency practitioner is suspended for the period specified in the order or until such time as the requirements so specified are complied with;drequires the person to comply with such other requirements as may be specified in the order while acting as an insolvency practitioner;erequires the person to make such contribution as may be specified in the order to one or more creditors of a company, individual or insolvent partnership in relation to which the person is acting or has acted as an insolvency practitioner.2Where the court makes a direct sanctions order, the relevant recognised professional body must take all necessary steps to give effect to the order.3A direct sanctions order must not be made against a person whose authorisation to act as an insolvency practitioner was granted by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland (see section 390A(2)(b)).4A direct sanctions order must not specify a contribution as mentioned in subsection (1)(e) which is more than the remuneration that the person has received or will receive in respect of acting as an insolvency practitioner in the case.5In this section and section 391P—“the court” means the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session;“relevant recognised professional body”, in relation to a person who is acting as an insolvency practitioner, means the recognised professional body by virtue of which the person is authorised so to act.391P1The Secretary of State may apply to the court for a direct sanctions order to be made against a person if it appears to the Secretary of State that it would be in the public interest for the order to be made.2The Secretary of State must send a copy of the application to the relevant recognised professional body.3The court may make a direct sanctions order against a person where, on an application under this section, the court is satisfied that condition 1 and at least one of conditions 2, 3, 4 and 5 are met in relation to the person.4The conditions are set out in section 391Q.5In deciding whether to make a direct sanctions order against a person the court must have regard to the extent to which—athe relevant recognised professional body has taken action against the person in respect of the failure mentioned in condition 1, andbthat action is sufficient to address the failure.391Q1Condition 1 is that the person, in acting as an insolvency practitioner or in connection with any appointment as such, has failed to comply with—aa requirement imposed by the rules of the relevant recognised professional body;bany standards, or code of ethics, for the insolvency-practitioner profession adopted from time to time by the relevant recognised professional body.2Condition 2 is that the person—ais not a fit and proper person to act as an insolvency practitioner;bis a fit and proper person to act as an insolvency practitioner only in relation to companies, but the person's authorisation is not so limited; orcis a fit and proper person to act as an insolvency practitioner only in relation to individuals, but the person's authorisation is not so limited.3Condition 3 is that it is appropriate for the person's authorisation to act as an insolvency practitioner to be suspended for a period or until one or more requirements are complied with.4Condition 4 is that it is appropriate to impose other restrictions on the person acting as an insolvency practitioner.5Condition 5 is that loss has been suffered as a result of the failure mentioned in condition 1 by one or more creditors of a company, individual or insolvent partnership in relation to which the person is acting or has acted as an insolvency practitioner.6In this section “relevant recognised professional body” has the same meaning as in section 391O.391R1The Secretary of State may give a direction (a “direct sanctions direction”) in relation to a person acting as an insolvency practitioner to the relevant recognised professional body (instead of applying, or continuing with an application, for a direct sanctions order against the person) if the Secretary of State is satisfied that—acondition 1 and at least one of conditions 2, 3, 4 and 5 are met in relation to the person (see section 391Q), andbit is in the public interest for the direction to be given.2But the Secretary of State may not give a direct sanctions direction in relation to a person without that person's consent.3A direct sanctions direction may require the relevant recognised professional body to take all necessary steps to secure that—athe person is no longer authorised (whether fully or partially) to act as an insolvency practitioner;bthe person is no longer fully authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner but remains partially authorised to act as such either in relation to companies or individuals, as specified in the direction;cthe person's authorisation to act as an insolvency practitioner is suspended for the period specified in the direction or until such time as the requirements so specified are complied with;dthe person must comply with such other requirements as may be specified in the direction while acting as an insolvency practitioner;ethe person makes such contribution as may be specified in the direction to one or more creditors of a company, individual or insolvent partnership in relation to which the person is acting or has acted as an insolvency practitioner.4A direct sanctions direction must not be given in relation to a person whose authorisation to act as an insolvency practitioner was granted by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Northern Ireland (see section 390A(2)(b)).5A direct sanctions direction must not specify a contribution as mentioned in subsection (3)(e) which is more than the remuneration that the person has received or will receive in respect of acting as an insolvency practitioner in the case.6In this section “relevant recognised professional body” has the same meaning as in section 391O.391S1A person mentioned in subsection (2) must give the Secretary of State such information as the Secretary of State may by notice in writing require for the exercise of the Secretary of State's functions under this Part.2Those persons are—aa recognised professional body;bany individual who is or has been authorised under section 390A to act as an insolvency practitioner;cany person who is connected to such an individual.3A person is connected to an individual who is or has been authorised to act as an insolvency practitioner if, at any time during the authorisation—athe person was an employee of the individual;bthe person acted on behalf of the individual in any other way;cthe person employed the individual;dthe person was a fellow employee of the individual's employer;ein a case where the individual was employed by a firm, partnership or company, the person was a member of the firm or partnership or (as the case may be) a director of the company.4In imposing a requirement under subsection (1) the Secretary of State may specify—athe time period within which the information in question is to be given, andbthe manner in which it is to be verified.391T1If at any time it appears to the Secretary of State that—aa recognised professional body has failed to comply with a requirement imposed on it by or by virtue of this Part, orbany other person has failed to comply with a requirement imposed on the person by virtue of section 391S,the Secretary of State may make an application to the court.2If, on an application under this section, the court decides that the body or other person has failed to comply with the requirement in question, it may order the body or person to take such steps as the court considers will secure that the requirement is complied with.3In this section, “the court” means the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session.392. . . . .

money provided by Parliament such salary as the Secretary of State may direct,bholds office on such other terms and conditions as the Secretary of State may direct, andcmay be removed from office by a direction of the Secretary of State.3A person who is authorised to act as an official receiver may not be appointed under subsection (1).4The Secretary of State may appoint officers of the Secretary of State's department to assist adjudicators in the carrying out of their functions.3991For the purposes of this Act the official receiver, in relation to any bankruptcy , winding up , individual

Chief Justice, provide that such provisions of this Act as may be specified in the order shall apply in relation to insolvent partnerships with such modifications as may be so specified.1AAn order

incidental, supplemental and transitional provisions as may appear to the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice necessary or expedient.3An order under this section shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.4For the purposes of this section the estate of a deceased person is insolvent if, when realised, it will be insufficient to meet in full all the debts and other liabilities to which it is subject.5The Lord Chief Justice may nominate a judicial office holder (as defined in section 109(4) of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005) to exercise his functions under this section.421A1This section applies where—aan insolvency administration order has been made in respect of the insolvent estate of a deceased person,bthe petition for the order was presented after the commencement of this section and within the period of five years beginning with the day on which he died, andcimmediately before his death he was beneficially entitled to an interest in any property as joint tenant.2For the purpose of securing that debts and other liabilities to which the estate is subject are met, the court may, on an application by the trustee appointed pursuant to the insolvency administration order, make an order under this section requiring the survivor to pay to the trustee an amount not exceeding the value lost to the estate.3In determining whether to make an order under this section, and the terms of such an order, the court must have regard to all the circumstances of the case, including the interests of the deceased’s creditors and of the survivor; but, unless the circumstances are exceptional, the court must assume that the interests of the deceased’s creditors outweigh all other considerations.4The order may be made on such terms and conditions as the court thinks fit.5Any sums required to be paid to the trustee in accordance with an order under this section shall be comprised in the estate.6The modifications of this Act which may be made by an order under section 421 include any modifications which are necessary or expedient in consequence of this section.7In

the insolvency administration order, his personal representatives.8If there is more than one survivor—aan order under this section may be made against all or any of them, butbno survivor shall be required to pay more than so much of the value lost to the estate as is properly attributable to him.9In this section—“insolvency administration order” has the same meaning as in any order under section 421 having effect for the time being,“value lost to the estate” means the amount which, if paid to the trustee, would in the court’s opinion restore the position to what it would have been if the deceased had been made bankrupt immediately before his death.4221The Secretary of State may by order made with the concurrence of the Treasury and after consultation with the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority provide that specified provisions in the first Group of Parts shall apply with specified modifications in relation to any person who—ahas a liability in respect of a deposit which he accepted in accordance with the Banking Act 1979 (c. 37) or 1987 (c. 22), butbdoes not have permission under Part 4A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c. 8) (regulated activities) to accept deposits.1ASubsection (1)(b) shall be construed in accordance with—asection 22 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (classes of regulated activity and categories of investment),bany relevant order under that section, andcSchedule 2 to that Act (regulated activities).1A. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2An order under this section may make different provision for different cases and may contain such incidental, supplemental and transitional provisions as may appear to the Secretary of State necessary or

a transaction with another person if—ahe makes a gift to the other person or he otherwise enters into a transaction with the other on terms that provide for him to receive no consideration;bhe enters into a transaction with the other in consideration of marriage or the formation of a civil partnership; orche enters into a transaction with the other for a consideration the value of which, in money or money’s worth, is significantly less than the value, in money or money’s worth, of the consideration provided by himself.2Where a person has entered into such a transaction, the court may, if satisfied under the next subsection, make such order as it thinks fit for—arestoring the position to what it would have been if the transaction had not been entered into, andbprotecting the interests of persons who are victims of the transaction.3In the case of a person entering into such a transaction, an order shall only be made if the court is satisfied that it was entered into by him for the purpose—aof putting assets beyond the reach of a person who is making, or may at some time make, a claim against him, orbof otherwise prejudicing the interests of such a person in relation to the claim which he is making or may make.4In this section “the court” means the High Court or—aif the person entering into the transaction is an individual, any other court which would have jurisdiction in relation to a bankruptcy petition relating to him;bif that person is a body capable of being wound up under Part IV or V of this Act, any other court having jurisdiction to wind it up.5In relation to a transaction at an undervalue, references here and below to a victim of the transaction are to a person who is, or is capable of being, prejudiced by it; and in the following two sections the person entering into the transaction is referred to as “the debtor”.4241An application for an order under section 423 shall not be made in relation to a transaction except—ain a case where the debtor has been made bankrupt or is a body corporate which is being wound up or is in administration, by the official receiver, by the trustee of the bankrupt’s estate or the liquidator or adminstrator of the body corporate or (with the leave of the court) by a victim of the transaction;bin a case where a victim of the transaction is bound by a voluntary arrangement approved under Part I or Part VIII of this Act, by the supervisor of the voluntary arrangement or by any person who (whether or not so bound) is such a victim; orcin any other case, by a victim of the transaction.2An application made under any of the paragraphs of subsection (1) is to be treated as made on behalf of every victim of the transaction.4251Without prejudice to the generality of section 423, an order made under that section with respect to a transaction may (subject as follows)—arequire any property transferred as part of the transaction to be vested in any person, either absolutely or for the benefit of all the persons on whose behalf the application for the order is treated as made;brequire any property to be so vested if it represents, in any person’s hands, the application either of the proceeds of sale of property so transferred or of the money so transferred;crelease or discharge (in whole or in part) any security given by the debtor;drequire any person to pay to any other person in respect of benefits received from the debtor such sums as the court may direct;eprovide for any surety or guarantor whose obligations to any person were released or discharged (in whole or in part) under the transaction to be under such new or revived obligations as the court thinks appropriate;fprovide for security to be provided for the discharge of any obligation imposed by or arising under the order, for such an obligation to be charged on any property and for such security or charge to have the same priority as a security or charge released or discharged (in whole or in part) under the transaction.2An order under section 423 may affect the property of, or impose any obligation on, any person whether or not he is the person with whom the debtor entered into the transaction; but such an order—ashall not prejudice any interest in property which was acquired from a person other than the debtor and was acquired in good faith, for value and without notice of the relevant circumstances, or prejudice any interest deriving from such an interest, andbshall not require a person who received a benefit from the transaction in good faith, for value and without notice of the relevant circumstances to pay any sum unless he was a party to the transaction.3For the purposes of this section the relevant circumstances in relation to a transaction are the circumstances by virtue of which an order under section 423 may be made in respect of the transaction.4In this section “security” means any mortgage, charge, lien or other security. Part XVII4261An order made by a court in any part of the United Kingdom in the exercise of jurisdiction in relation to insolvency law shall be enforced in any other part of the United Kingdom as if it were made by a court exercising the corresponding jurisdiction in that other part.2However, without prejudice to the following provisions of this section, nothing in subsection (1) requires a court in any part of the United Kingdom to enforce, in relation to property situated in that part, any order made by a court in any other part of the United Kingdom.3The Secretary of State, with the concurrence in relation to property situated in England and Wales of the Lord Chancellor, may by order make provision for securing that a trustee or assignee under the insolvency law of any part of the United Kingdom has, with such modifications as may be specified in the order, the same rights in relation to any property situated in another part of the United Kingdom as he would have in the corresponding circumstances if he were a trustee or assignee under the insolvency law of that other part.4The courts having jurisdiction in relation to insolvency law in any part of the United Kingdom shall assist the courts having the corresponding jurisdiction in any other part of the United Kingdom or any relevant country or territory.5For the purposes of subsection (4) a request made to a court in any part of the United Kingdom by a court in any other part of the United Kingdom or in a relevant country or territory is authority for the court to which the request is made to apply, in relation to any matters specified in the request, the insolvency law which is applicable by either court in relation to comparable matters falling within its jurisdiction.In exercising its descretion under this subsection, a court shall have regard in particular to the rules of private international law.6Where a person who is a trustee or assignee under the insolvency law of any part of the United Kingdom claims property situated in any other part of the United Kingdom (whether by virtue of an order under subsection (3) or otherwise), the submission of that claim to the court exercising jurisdiction in relation to insolvency law in that other part shall be treated in the same manner as a request made by a court for the purpose of subsection (4).7Section 38 of the Criminal Law Act 1977 (execution of warrant of arrest throughout the United Kingdom) applies to a warrant which, in exercise of any jurisdiction in relation to insolvency law, is issued in any part of the United Kingdom for the arrest of a person as it applies to a warrant issued in that part of the United Kingdom for the arrest of a person charged with an offence.8Without prejudice to any power to make rules of court, any power to make provision by subordinate legislation for the purpose of giving effect in relation to companies or individuals to the insolvency law of any part of the United Kingdom includes power to make provision for the purpose of giving effect in that part to any provision made by or under the preceding provisions of this section.9An order under subsection (3) shall be made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.10In this section “insolvency law” means—ain relation to England and Wales, provision extending to England and Wales and made by or under this Act or sections 1A 6 to 10, 12 to 15, 19(c) and 20 (with Schedule 1) of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 and sections 1 to 17 of that Act as they apply for the purposes of those provisions of that Act;bin relation to Scotland, provision extending to Scotland and made by or under this Act, sections 1A 6 to 10, 12 to 15, 19(c) and 20

the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016;cin relation to Northern Ireland, provision made by or under the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989or the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002;din relation to any relevant country or territory, so much of the law of that country or territory as corresponds to provisions falling within any of the foregoing paragraphs;and references in this subsection to any enactment include, in relation to any time before the coming into force of that enactment the corresponding enactment in force at that time.11In this section “relevant country or territory” means—aany of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, orbany country or territory designated for the purposes of this section by the Secretary of State by order made by statutory instrument.12In the application of this section to Northern Ireland—afor any reference to the Secretary of State there is substituted a reference to the Department of Economic Development in Northern Ireland;bin subsection (3) for the words “another part of the United Kingdom” and the words “that other part” there is substituted the words “Northern Ireland”;cfor subsection (9) there is substituted

Ireland) Order 1979 and shall be subject to negative resolution within the meaning of section 41(6) of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954..13Section 129 of the Banking Act 2009 provides for provisions of that Act about bank insolvency to be “insolvency law” for the purposes of this section.14Section 165 of the Banking Act 2009 provides for provisions of that Act about bank administration to be “insolvency law” for the purposes of this section.426A1A person in respect of whom a bankruptcy restrictions order or a debt relief restrictions order has effect shall be

member of the House of Commons or the House of Lords irrespective of any Parliamentary privilege.2In this section “enactment” includes a provision made by or under—aan Act of the Scottish Parliament, orbNorthern Ireland legislation.4271Where ... a court in Scotland awards sequestration of an individual’s estate, the individual is disqualified—afor sitting or voting in the House of Lords,bfor being

their capacity as such . . ..4291The following applies where a person fails to make any payment which he is required to make by virtue of an administration order under Part VI of the County Courts Act 1984.2The court which is administering that person’s estate under the order may, if it thinks fit—arevoke the administration order, andbmake an order directing that this section and section 12 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 shall apply to the person for such period, not exceeding one year, as may be specified in the order.3A person to whom this section so applies shall

punishable on conviction.2In relation to an offence under a provision of this Act specified in the first column of the Schedule (the general nature of the offence being described in the second column), the third column shows whether the offence is punishable on conviction on indictment, or on summary conviction, or either in the one way or the other.3The fourth column of the Schedule shows, in relation to an offence, the maximum punishment by way of fine or imprisonment under this Act which may be imposed on a person convicted of the offence in the way specified in relation to it in the third column (that is to say, on indictment or summarily) a reference to a period of years or months being to a term of imprisonment of that duration.4The fifth column shows (in relation to an offence for which there is an entry in that column) that a person convicted of the offence after continued contravention is liable to a daily default fine; that is to say, he is liable on a second or subsquent conviction of the offence to the fine specified in that column for each day on which the contravention is continued (instead of the penalty specified for the offence in the fourth column of the Scheudule).4AIn relation to an offence committed before 2 May 2022, a reference in Schedule 10 to 12 months on summary conviction in England and Wales is to be read as a reference to 6 months.5For the purpose of any enactment in this Act whereby an officer of a company who is in default is liable to a fine or penalty, the expression “officer who is in default” means any officer of the company who knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits the default, refusal or contravention mentioned in the enactment.4311Summary proceedings for any offence under any of Parts A1 to VII of this Act may (without prejudice to any jurisdiction exercisable apart from this subsection) be taken against a body corporate at any place at which the body has a place of business, and against any other person at any place at which he is for the time being.2Notwithstanding anything in section 127(1) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980, an information relating to such an offence which is triable by a magistrates’ court in England and Wales may be so tried if it is laid at any time within 3 years after the commission of the offence and within 12 months after the date on which evidence sufficient in the opinion of the Director of Public Prosecutions or the Secretary of State (as the case may be) to justify the proceedings comes to his knowledge.3Summary proceedings in Scotland for such an offence shall not be commenced after the expiration of 3 years from the commission of the offence.Subject to this (and notwithstanding anything in section 136 of the Criminal Procdure (Scotland) Act 1995), such proceedings may (in Scotland) be commenced at any time within 12 months after the date on which evidence sufficient in the Lord Advocate’s opinion to justify the proceedings came to his knowledge or, where such evidence was reported to him by the Secretary of State, within 12 months after the date on which it came to the knowledge of the latter; and subsection (3) of that section applies for the purpose of this subsection as it applies for the purpose of that section.4For purposes of this section, a certificate of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Lord Advocate or the Secretary of State (as the case may be) as to the date on which such evidence as is referred to above came to his knowledge is conclusive evidence.4321This section applies to offences under this Act other than those excepted by subsection (4).2Where a body corporate is guilty of an offence to which this section applies and the offence is proved to have been committed with the consent or connivance of, or to be attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other similar officer of the body corporate or any person who was purporting to act in any such capacity he, as well as the body corporate, is guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.3Where the affairs of a body corporate are managed by its members, subsection (2) applies in relation to the acts and defaults of a member in connection with his functions of management as if he were a director of the body corporate.4The offences excepted from this section are those under sections A19(5), A25(3), A26(4), A27(1), A28(5), A29(6), A30(2), A31(10), A32(4), 30, 39, 51, 53, 54, 62, 64, 66, 85, 89, 164, 188, 201, 206, 207, 208, 209, 210 and 211 ....4331In any proceedings

requirement imposed by or under Part 2 of the Banking Act 2009 (bank insolvency),aba statement made in pursuance of a requirement imposed by or under Part 3 of that Act (bank administration), andbany other statement made in pursuance of a requirement imposed by or under any such provision or by or under rules made under this Act,may be used in evidence against any person making or concurring in making the statement.2However, in criminal proceedings in which any such person is charged with an offence to which this subsection applies—ano evidence relating to the statement may be adduced, andbno question relating to it may be asked,by or on behalf of the prosecution, unless evidence relating to it is adduced, or a question relating to it is asked, in the proceedings by or on behalf of that person.3Subsection (2) applies to any offence other than—aan offence under section 22(6), 47(6), 48(8), 66(6), 67(8), 95(8), ... 99(3), 131(7), 192(2), 208(1)(a) or (d) or (2), 210, 235(5), 353(1), 354(1)(b) or (3) or 356(1) or (2)(a) or (b) or paragraph 4(3)(a) of Schedule 7;ban offence which is—icreated by rules made under this Act, andiidesignated for the purposes of this subsection by such rules or by regulations made by the Secretary of State;can offence which is—icreated by regulations made under any such rules, andiidesignated for the purposes of this subsection by such regulations;dan offence under section 1, 2 or 5 of the Perjury Act 1911 (false statements made on oath or made otherwise than on oath); orean offence under section 44(1) or (2) of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 (false statements made on oath or otherwise than on oath).4Regulations under subsection (3)(b)(ii) shall be made by statutory instrument and, after being made, shall be laid before each House of Parliament.434For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that provisions of this Act which derive from the Insolvency Act 1985 and Part A1 and sections 233A and 233B and Schedule 4ZZA bind the Crown so far as affecting or relating to the following matters, namely—aremedies against, or against the property of, companies or individuals;bpriorities of debts;ctransactions at an undervalue or preferences;dvoluntary arrangements approved under Part I or Part VIII, andedischarge from bankruptcy.PART 17A434AThe provisions of this Part have effect for

decision is sought from the creditors of a company, orbat any meeting of a company held in pursuance of the provisions contained in a debenture or trust deed.2Where the corporation authorises only one person, that person is entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual creditor or debenture-holder.3Where the corporation authorises more than one person, any one of them is entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual creditor or debenture-holder.4Where the corporation authorises more than one person and more than one of them purport to exercise a power under subsection (3)—aif they purport to exercise the power in the same way, the power is treated as exercised in that way;bif they do not purport to exercise the power in the same way, the power is treated as not exercised.434CIn proceedings against a person for an offence under this Act nothing in this Act is to be taken to require any person to disclose any information that he is entitled to refuse to disclose on grounds of legal professional privilege (in Scotland, confidentiality of communications).434D1This section applies where a company has made default in complying with any obligation under this Act—ato deliver a document to the registrar, orbto give notice to the registrar of any matter.2The registrar, or any member or creditor of the company, may give notice to the company requiring it to comply with the obligation.3If the company fails to make good the default within 14 days after service of the notice, the registrar, or any member or creditor of the company, may apply to the court for an order directing the company, and any specified officer of it, to make good the default within a specified time.4The court's order may provide that all costs (in Scotland, expenses) of or incidental to the application are to be borne by the company or by any officers of it responsible for the default.5This section does not affect the operation of any enactment imposing penalties on a company or its officers in respect of any such default.434EThe provisions of this Act requiring documents to be forwarded or delivered to, or filed with, the registrar of companies apply in relation to an overseas company that is required to register particulars
