On 28 March 2020, the UK Government announced plans to bring forward legislation to introduce new measures to aid restructuring of companies. As a result, the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Bill (“the Bill”) was laid in Parliament on 20 May 2020 and is likely to come into force as the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (CIGA 2020) next month, with MPs due to consider all stages of the Bill on 3 June 2020.
