These Regulations amend the insolvency legislation for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to make it compatible with the recast of the Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (the EIR). The EIR replaces Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 on insolvency proceedings. These regulations amend the Insolvency Act 1986 which contains corporate insolvency law for England, Wales and Scotland and personal insolvency law for England and Wales. Personal insolvency law is devolved in Scotland. These Regulations also amend the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016 (S.I. 2016/1024) and the Insolvency (Scotland) Rules 1986 (S.I. 1986/1915) made under the Insolvency Act 1986. In respect of Northern Ireland these Regulations amend the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 and the Insolvency Rules (Northern Ireland) 1991.
