1578 Simplified outline of this Division
This Division deals with the way this Act will apply to external administrations when the provisions of the Insolvency Practice Schedule (Corporations) begin to operate.
New external administrations
The Insolvency Practice Schedule (Corporations) applies to external administrations that start on or after the commencement of the Insolvency Law Reform Act 2016 (called new external administrations).
Ongoing external administrations
For external administrations that start before that day but are still ongoing (called ongoing external administrations), the Insolvency Practice Schedule (Corporations) applies in accordance with this Division but usually only in relation to new events. Generally, the old Act continues to apply to old events and processes that are incomplete. There are some exceptions.
Old external administrations
For old external administrations that have ended but that may have ongoing obligations or processes, in most cases the old Act continues to apply.
