## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (“the principal Regulations”) to prescribe amended forms to be sent to the Accountant in Bankruptcy for debtor applications in respect of the Accountant in Bankruptcy’s functions under the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985.
There are two new forms (Forms 9 and 17) which can be found in Schedules 1 and 2 to these Regulations. Both forms replace the Forms 9 and 17 as set out in the Schedule to the principal Regulations. Form 9 is the debtor application for bankruptcy without the concurrence of their creditors. Form 17 is a statutory declaration by a debtor of low income and low assets.
Regulation 3 allows the Accountant in Bankruptcy to accept applications using the old Forms 9 and 17 before 1st January 2009.
