All removals and replacement appointments were made with immediate effect.

Joint appointments

Where the cases referred to in the Schedules are joint appointments, any act required or authorised under any enactment to be done by joint appointees may be done by all or any one or more of the persons at the time being holding office. No functions are required to be undertaken by joint appointees acting together and no functions are specifically the responsibility of either joint appointee.

Notification

The creditors, and in the case of members’ voluntary liquidations, the members, in each of the Block Transfer Cases listed in the Schedules be notified of this order solely by advertisement published in the London Gazette within 28 days of the date of this order (‘the Advertisement’).

Any creditor, or in the case of any members’ voluntary liquidation, any member, in respect of any of the companies or persons listed in the Schedules who has an objection to this order shall have 28 days from the date of the Advertisement (as required at the paragraph above) to apply to court to set aside or vary the terms of this order. Such application shall not affect the transfer of the Block Transfer Cases listed in the Schedules until further or other order by the court.

The Replacement Officeholders shall notify the Secretary of State and, in the case of companies, the Registrar of Companies in respect of the relevant insolvency proceedings listed in the Schedules of the terms of this order as soon as reasonably practicable.

The Outgoing Officeholder shall file a copy of this order with each of the courts listed in the Schedules.

The Outgoing Officeholder shall receive his release and be discharged from liability as liquidator and administrator (as specified in the Schedules) 28 days after the Advertisement save that such release may be subject to further order in the event of an application by any creditor or member to set aside or vary the terms of the Order.

Pursuant to rules 18.6, 18.7 and 18.8 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016, and in respect of the Block Transfer Cases listed in the Schedules, the time by which progress reports are required to be delivered by any officeholder of the Block Transfer Cases shall be unaffected by the change in officeholder.
