‘For over twenty years, section 233 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (“IA 1986”) has restricted the contractual freedom of parties, but only in the context of a narrow range of contracts for the supply of utilities such as gas, water and electricity when a company enters into a specified insolvency process. In 2015, further restrictions to the enforcement of insolvency related contract terms were introduced, though again only with regard to this narrow range of contracts. The new section 233B IA 1986, by contrast, is far broader in scope and puts a significant dent in the ability of parties to enforce and vary contractual terms. This article considers the implications of the new provision, which entered into force on 26 June 2020.’
