DEALING WITH A BANKRUPT’S AFFAIRS IN CYPRUS
This chapter provides information and advice on issues of a practical nature when dealing with the bankrupt’s affairs (particularly, assets) in Cyprus.
Currently the chapter contains only information to assist in dealing with a bankrupt’s property in Cyprus. The intention is that the chapter will be further developed to deal with other issues relating to that country as the need arises.

The chapter is divided into the following parts:
Part 1 – Dealing with a bankrupt’s property in Cyprus (paragraphs 43.6.2 to 43.6.25)
The chapter contains the following annexes
Annex 1 – MP2 for Cyprus
