EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This order makes consequential amendments to or in connection with disqualification provisions to take account of debt relief order and debt relief restrictions orders.

The amendments made by this order are to primary and subordinate legislation which already provides for disqualification of persons from in the event of insolvency, so as to extend these disqualifications to persons subject to debt relief orders (under Part 7A of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989) and to debt relief restrictions orders (under Schedule 2ZA to the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989).

A regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this Order as it has no impact on the costs on business.
