Appeals against decisions under this Chapter
This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
15.35.—(1) A decision of the convener or chair under this Chapter is subject to appeal to the court by a creditor, by a contributory, or by the bankrupt or debtor (as applicable).
(2) In a proposed CVA, an appeal against a decision under this Chapter may also be made by a member of the company.
(3) If the decision is reversed or varied, or votes are declared invalid, the court may order another decision procedure to be initiated or make such order as it thinks just but, in a CVA or IVA, the court may only make an order if it considers that the circumstances which led to the appeal give rise to unfair prejudice or material irregularity.
(4) An appeal under this rule may not be made later than 21 days after the decision date.
(5) However, the previous paragraph does not apply in a proposed CVA or IVA, where an appeal may not be made after the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day—
(a)in a proposed CVA, on which the first of the reports required by section 4(6) or paragraph 30(3) of Schedule A1 was filed with the court(1); or
(b)in a proposed IVA—
(i)where an interim order has not been obtained, on which the notice of the result of the consideration of the proposal required by section 259(1)(a) has been given, or
(ii)otherwise, on which the report required by section 259(1)(b)(2) is made to the court.
(6) The person who made the decision is not personally liable for costs incurred by any person in relation to an appeal under this rule unless the court makes an order to that effect.
(7) The court may not make an order under paragraph (6) if the person who made the decision in a winding up by the court or a bankruptcy is the official receiver or a person nominated by the official receiver.
(1)
Section 4(6) is amended by paragraph 4(6) of Schedule 9 to the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 (c.26) and paragraph 30(3) is amended by paragraph 9(12) and (13) of Schedule 9 to the same Act.
