# The Insolvency Rules (Northern Ireland) 1991, Rule 4.004: Preliminary


(1) This Chapter does not apply where a petition for the winding up of a company is presented under Article I 04 on or after the date on which the Rules come into operation and the petition is based on failure to comply with a written demand served on the company before that date.
(2) A written demand served by a creditor on a company under Article 103(1)(a) (registered companies) or 186(1)(a) (unregistered companies) is known in winding-up proceedings as “the statutory demand”.
(3) The statutory demand must be dated, and be signed either by the creditor himself or by a person stating himself to be authorised to make the demand on the creditor's behalf.
