520.Section 234 establishes that the new regulations may provide for the manner in which an institution is to be placed into a new insolvency regime, the objectives of the new scheme and the role of the courts and the administrator or liquidator. The Section also provides for how the new procedures will sit with other new procedures (such as the bank insolvency procedure laid out in this Act if the institution also has a deposit-taking arm) and for the creation of rights over assets.
