A one-day course for those who wish to expand their knowledge of what the law/guidance actually says. The objective is to understand that there is no centralised source of information regarding a DRO. What we need will be contained somewhere in (insolvency) legislation, case law or guidance.
Who should attend?
You should have completed DRO Practice & Procedures and/or have at least a year’s experience of DRO work.
Learning objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
recognise the differences between the Insolvency Act, regulations and case law, how they interlink and where to find specific information,
explain how case law regarding rent arrears, benefit overpayments and changes in income after the DRO is made should affect your advice,
assess whether a client (who wishes to proceed with an application) may be subject to a restrictions order,
describe the process for challenging a decision by the official receiver up to and including an application to county court.
