Having excluded reference to amendment No. 24 in that commentary, allow me to get out the notes on that amendment and address it. Amendment No. 24 states "Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing the Insolvency Service, in the performance of its functions under this Act, from sending or receiving documents or other information, or otherwise communicating, by electronic means". Again, this is just an amendment to ensure modern technology can be used in the transmission of documents and the insolvency service has the remit to do that.
