Ordinary Application (Company) Form R14B (Insolvency Rules 2005)

Summary

This is a standard court form (Form R14B) prescribed under the BVI Insolvency Rules 2005 for making an Ordinary Application in company insolvency proceedings in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. It is a blank template used by an applicant to apply to the court for an order under a specified section of the Insolvency Act 2003, rather than a rule imposing new regulatory requirements.

• Purpose: Used to formally apply for a court order under the Insolvency Act 2003, with the specific section and order sought to be inserted by the applicant.
• Content required: Requires the company name, matter number, applicants and respondents, hearing date, the order sought, grounds for the order (or reference to an attached affidavit), and a draft order attached.
• Service and notice: Requires listing the names and addresses of persons to be served with the application and persons entitled to notice under the Act and Rules.
• Filing details: Requires identification of who files the application (applicant or solicitor), an address for service, and signature and date.

Key obligations

• An applicant making an ordinary application under the Insolvency Act 2003 must use Form R14B and complete it with the required particulars (parties, order sought, grounds, draft order).
• The applicant must attend the scheduled hearing before the Master or Judge, or the Court may make an order in their absence.
• The applicant must identify and, where applicable, serve the application on the persons named as required to be served or given notice under the Act and Rules.
