Voluntary administration - Single administration of related companies in administration

239AEQ: Interpretation of terms for purposes of this subpart

You could also call this:

“Definitions for managing groups of related companies together”

In this part of the law, you’ll learn about some special terms used when talking about groups of companies being managed together.

A ‘pool’ is a group of related companies that are being managed together under one order. The person managing this group is called a ‘pool administrator’. Any company that’s part of this group is called a ‘pool company’.

When talking about managing a pool of companies, some words mean slightly different things. An ‘administrator’ can also mean a pool administrator. ‘Company’ can mean a whole pool of companies. A ‘deed administrator’ can be someone managing an agreement for a pool of companies. And a ‘deed of company administration’ can be an agreement made for a pool of companies.

These definitions help make sure everyone understands what’s being talked about when dealing with groups of companies being managed together.
