An order of the court which for the period during which it is in force puts in place a moratorium to give the applicant an opportunity to put a proposal for an individual voluntary arrangement to his creditors.

What is an interim order? An interim order (IO) is a court order that prevents legal proceedings being commenced or continued against a debtor who wishes to put forward a proposal for an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA). This includes preventing a creditor from presenting a bankruptcy petition. It is no longer necessary to obtain an IO in order to make an IVA proposal. The purpose of the IO is to give the debtor time to formulate the arrangement free from harassment and demands by the debtor’s creditors. It is akin (although not identical) to the statutory moratorium that arises in other forms of the insolvency process (eg administration). In particular, for so long as the IO is in force, it has the effect that: • a bankruptcy petition may not be presented and, if one has been presented, it may not be proceeded with • the following acts are forbidden unless the court gives leave: ◦ a landlord may not exercise a right of forfeiture by peaceable re-entry ◦ no proceedings,

Available remedies The Family Procedure Rules 2010 (FPR 2010), SI 2010/2955, Pt 20 sets out a wide range of interim remedies that may be ordered by the court including: • an interim injunction • an interim declaration • an order for: ◦ the detention, custody or preservation of relevant property ◦ the inspection of relevant property ◦ the taking of a sample of relevant property ◦ the carrying out of an experiment on or with relevant property ◦ the sale of relevant property which is of a perishable nature or which for any other good reason it is desirable to sell quickly—note that in BR v VT, Mostyn J considered that an interim order for sale may be made under this provision prior to the conclusion of a substantive ancillary relief application, but that approach was subsequently doubted by Cobb J in WS v HS; thereafter, in SR v HR (Property Adjustment Orders), Mostyn J noted that, until the matter could be resolved by a higher court, best
