The Insolvency (Disqualification from Office: General) Order (Northern Ireland) 2008
Individuals who are bankrupt may be prevented by certain statutory provisions (“disqualification provisions”) from being elected or appointed to, or holding, an office or position, or from becoming or remaining a member of a body or group. Article 24 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 confers a power to amend such a disqualification provision so that as well as, or instead of, it applying to individuals who are bankrupt it applies to individuals who are subject to a bankruptcy restrictions regime.
