Report on consultation

One Year Review

A review of LILA was carried out after four months of it being in operation to establish whether the LILA route into bankruptcy had been successful in providing a route into bankruptcy for those people who were previously unable to obtain debt relief. This report examines LILA after it has been in operation for one year. The report also compares the LILA route into bankruptcy with another route, namely, the debtor applying with proof of apparent insolvency.
