Rule 4.132 Liquidator deceasedI1

Subject as follows, where the liquidator (other than the official receiver) has died, it is the duty of his personal representatives to give notice of the fact to the official receiver, specifying the date of the death.

This does not apply if notice has been given under any of the following paragraphs of this Rule.

If the deceased liquidator was a partner in a firm, notice may be given to the official receiver by a partner in the firm who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner, or is a member of any body recognised by the Secretary of State for the authorisation of insolvency practitioners.

Notice of the death may be given by any person producing to the official receiver the relevant death certificate or a copy of it.

The official receiver shall give notice to the court, for the purpose of fixing the date of the deceased liquidator's release.
