  "title": "The Insolvency (Amendment) Regulations 2004",
  "short_title": "Insolvency 2004",
  "long_title": "These Regulations amend the Insolvency Regulations 1994. The requirement for voluntary liquidators to pay monies into the Insolvency Services Account contained in Regulation 5(2) of the 1994 Regulations is abolished (See paragraph 1 of the Schedule to the Regulations). Voluntary liquidators are however still permitted to pay monies into the Insolvency Services Account where this is convenient. Regulations 9 and 23A of the 1994 Regulations are amended so as to entitle companies in liquidation and the estates of bankrupts to accrue interest on any amounts standing to their credit on or after 1st April 2004 in the Insolvency Services Account. (See paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Schedule to the Regulations – prior to the coming into force of the Regulations interest is only payable on balances in the Insolvency Services Account which are in excess of £2,000). The rate of interest is set at 4.25% per annum. Provision is also made enabling the Secretary of State to alter the rate of interest payable.",
