EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make a number of amendments to the Insurers (Reorganisation and Winding Up) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004 No. 353). The first corrects an error in regulation 9 by inserting a specific date from which the obligation operates. The third makes clear that the expenses of the liquidation of all insurance companies are to rank before preferential debts. The other amendments correct three minor errors which could otherwise have affected the operation of those Regulations or other legislation amended by them.
