Please note that any ClearDebt IVA where the creditors meeting was before 1 February 2008 and for any new non-protocol compliant IVAs if considered appropriate for the particular circumstances of any relevant case used the IVA terms and conditions published by the Association of Business Recovery Professionals (R3), click here.

However it should be noted that even new non-protocol compliant IVAs can still use the protocol compliant standard conditions if so required.
