  (b)   a creditor; or

  (c)   the debtor; or

  (d)   if the debtor has died--the person administering the estate of the debtor;

    has failed to carry out or comply with a term of the agreement; or

  (i)   the creditors; or

  (ii)   the debtor; or

  (iii)   if the debtor has died--the estate of the debtor; or

  (g)   that, for any other reason, the agreement ought to be terminated.

  (2)   The Court must not make an order terminating a personal insolvency agreement on the ground specified in paragraph   (1)(e) or (g) unless it is satisfied that it would be in the interests of the creditors to do so.
