2

The special administrator must, as soon as reasonably practicable, give notice, in Form WAT6, of the making of the order, by advertising—

The special administrator must also, as soon as reasonably practicable—

a

give notice, in Form WAT7, of the order to each person (other than the water company) on whom the petition was served; and

b

send a sealed copy of that form to the registrar of companies.

4

The special administrator must send a sealed copy of the order to whichever of the Secretary of State, the Welsh Ministers and the Authority were not the petitioner.

5

The special administrator, when sending to the registrar of companies a copy of the order in accordance with section 21(2) of the Insolvency Act, must also send to the registrar a completed Form WAT8.

If the court makes any other order, it will give directions as to—

a

whom notice of the order is to be given; and

b

how that notice is to be given.
