7. What is an interim BRO?
An interim BRO has the same effect as a BRO.
The Accountant in Bankruptcy can apply to a sheriff for an interim BRO if they believe there is an urgent need to impose restrictions on you before the sheriff can consider the BRO application. A sheriff will only grant an interim BRO if they are satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to expect that the application for a BRO will be successful and it is in the public interest to grant the interim BRO.
You will be notified if an interim BRO application has been made in the same way as for a BRO. You have the same right to defend an interim BRO court action against you as you do for a BRO application.
The interim BRO will cease to be effective when the sheriff makes a decision on the BRO application or you agree to a BRU.
