1.Enhanced authority of the Official Receiver
According to the amended sections 105 and 106, the receiver is now empowered to examine the application for repayment of debt, summon the relevant parties to the debts, and render the order to approve or dismiss such application. Before the amendment, only the Court had this authority and took a long period of time to deliver such orders. Under the new Act; however, this order can still be appealed to the Court for consideration if the interested party disagrees with the decision of the receiver, so the timeframe of the process may not actually be any shorter in some cases.
