14.The UNCITRAL model law seeks to facilitate the process of obtaining recognition of foreign insolvency proceedings; to introduce a greater degree of certainty as to the assistance the courts can give a foreign officeholder and the stage of the proceedings at which the assistance is given; and to require courts with insolvency jurisdiction to co-operate with each other. The power taken in the Act will enable the Secretary of State in England and Wales (with the agreement of the Lord Chancellor) and in Scotland (with the consent of the Scottish Ministers) to give effect in our law to the model law, with or without modifications.
