(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Education (Student Loans for Tuition Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 and the Education (Student Loans) (Scotland) Regulations 2007 so that the insolvency provisions in those Regulations also apply to student loans paid or payable before or on the date that the debtor"s estate is sequestrated.
This means that such loans will not form part of the debtor"s estate and cannot, therefore, be claimed by the debtor"s trustee. The debtor will also not be discharged from the liability to repay such loans under or by virtue of section 54 or 75(4) of the Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 1985 (c.66).
1980 c. 44. Section 73(f) was amended by the Teaching and Higher Education Act 1998 (c.30) ("the 1998 Act"), section 29(1) and by the Education (Graduate Endowment and Student Support) (Scotland) Act 2001 (asp 6), section 3(2). Section 73B was inserted by section 29(2) of the 1998 Act. Section 73B(12) was amended by section 34(1) of the Bankruptcy and Diligence etc. (Scotland) Act 2007 (asp 3).
S.S.I. 2006/333, amended by S.S.I 2007/158 and 503 and 2009/188, 189 and 309.
S.S.I. 2007/154, amended by S.S.I 2007/503, 2008/205 and 206 and 2009/188, 189 and 309.
