The Bankruptcy and Debt Advice (Scotland) Act 2014 (Commencement No. 2, Savings and Transitionals) Amendment Order 2015
This Order makes a minor clarification to a savings provision in relation to the commencement of the Bankruptcy and Debt Advice (Scotland) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”) from 1st April 2015, by which most amendments in the 2014 Act do not apply to bankruptcies where the petition to court or debtor application to the Accountant in Bankruptcy (“AIB”) for sequestration is presented or received before 1st April 2015. The amendment makes the drafting of article 4(1)(b) of that Order consistent with article 4(1)(a) to avoid any doubt that a different effect was intended.
