The objective of this amendment is to address a significant issue that may hinder the feasibility of the personal insolvency practitioner's role in practice. Were a personal insolvency practitioner to take on any more than a handful of cases, he or she could not manage them without some assistance from another person, for example, a staff member. The amendment is designed to address this by allowing for appropriate delegation of work related to a case which is clerical, secretarial or administrative in nature.
