Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 5: Insolvency of Registered Providers of Social Housing Restrictions on other insolvency procedures Section 105: Voluntary winding up
This section prevents a registered provider passing a resolution for voluntary winding up without permission of the court.
	Subsection (3) stipulates that the court is not to grant permission unless:
notice of the application has been given to the Regulator of Social Housing and a period of at least 28 days has elapsed since that notice was given; or
the Regulator of Social Housing has waived the notice requirement.
	If an application for a Housing Administration Order is made after an application for permission is made under this section but before permission is granted, subsection (5) allows the court to exercise its powers under section 100 to make a housing administration order instead of granting permission.
	Subsection (6) provides that the Regulator of Social Housing must give the Secretary of State a copy of any notice given under subsection (4)(a) and subsection (7) provides that the Regulator of Social Housing may only waive the notice requirement if it has the Secretary of States consent.
