The Deputy will be aware that I signed a Commencement Order in September, bringing into immediate effect all the provisions of the Personal Insolvency (Amendment) Act 2015 which do not require changes to Rules of Court.

However, changes are needed to the Rules of the Circuit Court and High Court before the Act’s remaining provisions can come into effect. I am aware that this work is well advanced, and I expect to shortly sign the Commencement Order for those provisions.
