Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules further amend the Insolvent Companies (Disqualification of Unfit Directors) Proceedings Rules 1987 (S.I. 1987/2023).

They revoke rule 9 of those Rules which provided for the time when a disqualification order took effect. This is now dealt with in section 1(2) of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (c. 46), as amended by section 5(2) of the Insolvency Act 2000 (c. 39) and rule 9 is therefore otiose.
