The insolvency court supervises the administrator. Section 84 IO refers to directions, reports, explanations, documents and further inquiries.

A creditor’s dissatisfaction is not yet a complete complaint. The specific duty or action must be identifiable.

A useful submission links the procedural position to evidence and a clear request.
