Key Legislation

The Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

The primary purpose of this instrument is to retain the EU Insolvency Regulation (EU 2015/848) (“the EUIR”) in a form that operates effectively after Exit day. The Regulations maintain a modified version of the EUIR’s jurisdictional tests for the opening of insolvency proceedings that sit alongside the UK’s domestic provisions on jurisdiction rules (Part 1 of the Regulations). The rest of the EUIR, which forms the majority, relies on reciprocity between member States, and so those provisions are repealed.

The amendments to domestic legislation (Parts 2 – 10) are made to remove references to the EUIR where provisions no longer apply or to update references to the revised jurisdiction test provided by Article 1 of the EUIR. Most of the changes previously made to insolvency legislation in 2017 to facilitate the application of the EUIR are revoked by the Regulations.

The Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) (No 2) Regulations 2019

The Regulations make various amendments to the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020

The Regulations make various amendments to the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

The Insolvency (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment) Regulations 2019

The Regulations protect the existing powers to appoint a receiver under section 51 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and address deficiencies arising in relation to devolved aspects of cross-border insolvency legislation from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, specifically as regards the application of the EUIR in UK law following EU exit.

Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) (Scotland) Regulations 2020

The Regulations make various amendments to the Insolvency (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment) Regulations 2019.

Dear IP 83 is a special edition concerning the draft Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (which became the Insolvency (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019).
