EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Rules amend the Insolvency (Scotland) Rules 1986 (S.I. 1986/1915) (“the principal Rules”).

Schedule 1 amends a number of the forms in Schedule 5 to the principal Rules to update the addresses for Companies House and the Accountant in Bankruptcy.

Schedule 2 substitutes a new Form 2.30B (Scot). When the original Form 2.30B (Scot) was inserted by S.I. 2003/2111 the form number was not included. In order to correct this error the form is now being represcribed. The only other change to the content of Form 2.30B (Scot) is to update the Companies House address.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in relation to these Rules as they will not impose any significant burdens on business.
