Course overview

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.
