Voluntary administration - Watershed meeting

239AZ: Adjournment of watershed meeting

You could also call this:

“Postponing the watershed meeting for up to 30 working days or longer with court approval”

You can delay the watershed meeting, but only for up to 30 working days from when it first started. If you need to delay it for longer than that, you have to ask the court. The court can then give permission to delay the meeting for more than 30 working days if they think it’s necessary.
