Debt Relief (Developing Countries) Act 2010

29.Section 6 contains an exception to the legislation, excluding debts where the debtor does not make an offer to repay the amount which remains recoverable by the creditor under the terms of the Act. This provision does not correspond to an existing element of the Initiative. Its purpose is to increase the creditor’s prospects for recovering the amount to which it remains entitled, and to encourage the debtor to participate in negotiations to agree settlement of the debt rather than oblige the creditor to recover the debt through the courts.
