Article 18

An application by the Director for a direction under section 40(3) of the Act may be made by notice in writing issued out of the central office of the Court, or the office of the Court in Scotland or Northern Ireland, as the case may be, specifying the bodies corporate against which the order was made and the bodies corporate in respect of which a direction is sought.

The notice of application shall be issued by being sealed with the Court's seal by the proper officer of the Court with whom a copy of the notice shall be left to be filed by him.

The Director shall serve a copy of the notice on every body corporate specified therein and those bodies shall be respondents to the notice.

The provisions of these Rules shall apply, with the necessary modifications, to all further proceedings on an application under this rule as they apply to an application under rule 3.
