  • Dear IP Letter 50

    Topics:
    • Insolvency service, 
    • Insolvency practitioners

    Dear IP Letter 50 was issued on 21 August 2020.

    Dear Insolvency Practitioner,

    In this, the fiftieth of the “Dear IP (NI)” series, I should like to deal with the following issue:

    Articles in Part 1A of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 and Related Paragraphs in Part 3 of Schedule 8 to the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020

    The table at Annex A has been produced to assist Insolvency Practitioners acting as monitors in relation to moratoriums under Part 1A of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989.

    The table sets out the rules which apply in the case of specific provisions in Part 1A.

    The table is intended as a guide for monitors both in carrying out their own functions under Part 1A and in advising directors of companies, subject to a moratorium, as to the duties they are under.

    Any enquiries regarding this article should be directed towards
