72. — (1)  The High Court may by order enable the administrator of a company to dispose of property which is subject to a security (other than a floating charge) as if it were not subject to the security.

(2)  An order under sub-paragraph (1) may be made only—

(a) on the application of the administrator, and

(b) where the Court thinks that disposal of the property would be likely to promote the purpose of administration in respect of the company.

(3)  An order under this paragraph is subject to the condition that there be applied towards discharging the sums secured by the security—

(a) the net proceeds of disposal of the property, and

(b) any additional money required to be added to the net proceeds so as to produce the amount determined by the Court as the net amount which would be realised on a sale of the property at market value.

(4)  If an order under this paragraph relates to more than one security, application of money under sub-paragraph (3) shall be in the order of the priorities of the securities.

(5)  An administrator who makes a successful application for an order under this paragraph shall send a copy of the order to the registrar before the end of the period of 14 days starting with the date of the order.

(6)  An administrator commits an offence if he fails to comply with sub-paragraph (5) without reasonable excuse.]
