The Insolvency Practitioners (Recognised Professional Bodies) (Revocation of Recognition) Order 2016
The Insolvency Practitioners (Recognised Professional Bodies) Order 1986 declares the bodies specified in the Schedule to the Order to be recognised professional bodies under section 391 of the Insolvency Act 1986. The Law Society, through the Solicitor’s Regulatory Authority (an independent operating division of the Law Society), has requested that Law Society is removed from this Schedule in accordance with the procedure in section 391N of the Insolvency Act 1986.
