Version Superseded: 26/05/2015
Point in time view as at 29/04/1996. This version of this provision has been superseded.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Insolvency Act 1986, Section 299 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 17 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
(1)Where 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—
(a)where that person is appointed by a general meeting of the bankrupt’s creditors or by the Secretary of State, the time at which the official receiver gives notice to the court that he has been replaced, and
(b)where that person is appointed by the court, such time as the court may determine.
(2)If 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.
(3)A 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—
(a)in the case of a person who has been removed from office by a general meeting of the bankrupt’s creditors that has not resolved against his release or who has died, the time at which notice is given to the court in accordance with the rules that that person has ceased to hold office;
(b)in the case of a person who has been removed from office by a general meeting of the bankrupt’s creditors that has resolved against his release, or by the court, or by the Secretary of State, or who has vacated office under section 298(6), such time as the Secretary of State may, on an application by that person, determine;
(c)in the case of a person who has resigned, such time as may be prescribed;
(d)in the case of a person who has vacated office under section 298(8)—
(i)if the final meeting referred to in that subsection has resolved against that person’s release, such time as the Secretary of State may, on an application by that person, determine; and
(ii)if that meeting has not so resolved, the time at which the person vacated office.
(4)Where 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.
(5)Where 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.
