The Bill amends the Companies Act 2014 to provide for a new dedicated rescue process for small and micro companies.

The administrative rescue process mirrors key provisions of the existing examinership process including the repudiation of onerous contracts, cross-class cram down of debts, and encourages ongoing creditor engagement. The process also allows companies to apply for a stay on proceedings. The Small Company Administrative Rescue Process is designed to be more cost efficient and capable of conclusion within a shorter period of time.
