APPOINTMENT OF LIQUIDATOR IN
A WINDING UP BY THE COURT
Appointment of liquidator on report of meetings of creditors and contributories
46.—(1)  As soon as possible after the first meetings of creditors and contributories have been held, the Official Receiver or the chairman of the meetings, as the case may be, shall report in Form 19 set out in the First Schedule the result of each meeting of the Court.
(2)  After the results of the meetings of creditors and contributories have been reported to the Court, the Court may, upon the application of the Official Receiver, immediately make the appointments necessary for giving effect to the resolutions passed at such meetings if the meetings of the creditors and contributories have each passed the same resolutions or if the resolutions passed at the two meetings are identical in effect. In any other case the Court shall fix a time and place for considering the resolutions and determinations (if any) of the meetings, deciding the differences (if any), and making such order as may be necessary.
(3)  When a time and place have been fixed for the consideration of the resolutions and determinations of the meetings, the time and place shall be advertised by the Official Receiver in such manner as the Court shall direct, but so that the first or only advertisement shall be published not less than 7 days before the time so fixed.
(4)  When considering the resolutions and determinations of the meetings the Court may hear the Official Receiver and any creditor or contributory.
(5)  If a liquidator is appointed a copy of the order in Form 20 set out in the First Schedule appointing him shall be transmitted by him to the Official Receiver and the Official Receiver shall, as soon as the liquidator has given security, cause notice of the appointment to be published in the Gazette. The expenses of gazetting such notice shall be paid by the liquidator, but may be charged by him on the assets of the company.
(6)  Every appointment of a liquidator shall be advertised in Form 22 set out in the First Schedule by the liquidator in such manner as the Court directs immediately after the liquidator has given the required security.
