Commentary on Sections Administration
169.An administrator may be appointed in three ways: by the court; by the holder of a floating charge; and by the company or its directors.(29) Under the 2010 Act a company is a relevant person if it is subject to an administration order,(30) but the 1930 Acts apply if a company enters administration, irrespective of whether there is an administration order in place.(31) Paragraph 3 amends section 6 of the 2010 Act so that it includes all forms of administration under schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and the equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland.(32)
