Effect of scheme

A scheme with creditors becomes binding on the creditors and on the corporation only when:

  • it is agreed to by the required majority; and
  • it is approved by the court.

In addition, it will not take effect until a copy of the order approving the scheme is lodged with ASIC. A scheme may bind creditors in their rights against a third party. See Effect of scheme.
