Rule 12.32 Applications for transfer
An application by the official receiver for proceedings to be transferred must be accompanied by a report by the official receiver.
The report must set out the reasons for the transfer, and include a statement either that—
the petitioner, or the debtor in proceedings relating to a debt relief order, consents to the transfer; or
the petitioner or such a debtor has been given at least 14 days' notice of the official receiver's application.
If the court is satisfied from the report that the proceedings can be conducted more conveniently in another court or hearing centre, it must order that the proceedings be transferred to that court or hearing centre.
A person other than the official receiver who applies for the transfer of winding up or bankruptcy proceedings or proceedings relating to a debt relief order must deliver a notice that such an application is intended to be made at least 14 days' before filing the application with the court to—
the official receiver attached to the court or hearing centre in which the proceedings are pending; and
the official receiver attached to the court or hearing centre to which it is proposed that they should be transferred.
