Insolvency service guidance – amend a redundancy claim

Statutory Debt Repayment Plan: Consultation

The UK government has published its response to its consultation on the proposed implementation of a Statutory Debt Repayment Plan (SDRP).

The government has reflected on the feedback gathered and determined that it will not proceed to lay regulations implementing the SDRP this year. Instead, the government will base further decisions on the future of the SDRP on the outcome of the review of the personal insolvency framework, led by the Insolvency Service.
