Insolvency Rules committee (IRC)

Insolvency Rules committee is a Advisory NDPB sponsored by Department for Business and Trade. The IRC is an expert body that advises on proposed new and amendments to insolvency rules that underpin the wider insolvency legislative framework; their advice and recommendations are provided to the Lord Chancellor. IRC members are from the legal and accountancy professions and will have many years of operational experience in dealing with insolvency matters. They provide their services on a voluntary and unremunerated basis. Appointments are made, to the IRC, by the Lord Chancellor - under the Insolvency Act 1986 - after consulting the Chancellor of the High Court. Appointments are regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments and must comply with the Governance Code on Public Appointments.

Regional Remit

IRC operates in England and Wales. Their headquarters are located in London.
