Use web-sites

Following on from our recent update that introduced the services offered by The Creditor Gateway, just a quick reminder that any requirement in the legislation to give, deliver, furnish or send a notice or other document or information to any person can be satisfied by the office holder making that notice, document or information available on a web-site. The key words here are “office holder”, such that giving notice of a section 98 meeting is not satisfied by placing the documentation on a web-site and sending a one page letter to the creditors to notify them of that since, unless it is a Centrebind, the IP is not in office. Written notice of the section 98 meeting, including all relevant information and documentation, must always be given to creditors, unless it is a Centrebind.
