What this form is for
- Use when a court has ordered a winding‑up and you have already filed Form No.2.
- Do not use for voluntary liquidation without a court order.
- If you are only updating a single creditor after the first meeting, a supplemental notice may be sufficient.
- When the creditor list exceeds 100 entries, consider attaching an additional schedule.
- Use the electronic version if the court supports e‑Filing; otherwise, a printed copy is acceptable.
