Details

The Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (CIGA) came into force on 26 June 2020. The Government committed to a review of the operation of CIGA’s three permanent measures within three years of the CIGA commencement.

As part of that review, in September 2021, the University of Wolverhampton (the research team comprising Professor Peter Walton and Dr Lézelle Jacobs) was commissioned to conduct independent research. The research was carried out using a mixed methods approach in two stages.

The Interim Report originally published on 21st June 2022 considered the results of Stage One which reviewed the data arising from a series of semi-structured interviews of various stakeholders.

Stage Two continued with some further interviews but also involved an online survey of the insolvency practitioner profession.
