The Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006
These Regulations amend the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 to clarify that it is only companies as defined by Article 3(1) of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 and certain companies formed or incorporated outside the United Kingdom that can enter administration or a company voluntary arrangement. These amendments are made in connection with the application of the Council Regulation of 29th May 2000 on insolvency proceedings (1346/2000/EC) within Northern Ireland. Amendments to the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 for the purposes of giving effect to the Council Regulation in relation to Northern Ireland were originally made by the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (Amendment No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002 (S.R.2002 No. 334). These Regulations are a partial reimplementation of the subject matter covered by the 2002 Regulations.
