Part 4: Social Housing in England Chapter 5: Insolvency of Registered Providers of Social Housing Restrictions on other insolvency procedures Section 106: Making of ordinary administration orders
This section applies if a person other than the Secretary of State makes an ordinary administration order in relation to a private registered provider that is:
a company; or
a charitable incorporated organisation within the meaning of Part 11 of the Charities Act 2011.
	It sets out how the court should act in such circumstances.
	Subsection (2) states that the court must dismiss the application for ordinary administration if a housing administration order is in force in relation to the registered provider, or has been made in relation to the registered provider but is not yet in force.
	If a housing administration order has not been made, subsection (3) requires that, on hearing the ordinary administration application, the court must not exercise its powers under paragraph 13 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 (other than its power of adjournment) 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 the notice was given; or
the Regulator of Social Housing has waived the notice requirement; and
there is no application for a housing administration order which is outstanding.
	Paragraph 13 of Schedule B1 relates to the powers of the court on hearing an ordinary administration application (for example, to make an administration order, dismiss the application etc).
	Subsection (4) provides that the Regulator of Social Housing must give the Secretary of State a copy of any notice given under subsection (3)(a)(i) and subsection (7) provides that the Regulator of Social Housing may only waive the notice requirement in subsection (3)(a)(i) if it has the Secretary of State's consent.
