Proxy holder with financial interest
106.—(1) A proxy-holder (“P”) shall not vote in favour of any resolution which would directly or indirectly place P, or any associate of P’s, in a position to receive any remuneration out of the insolvent estate, unless the proxy specifically directs P to vote in that way.
(2) Where a P has signed the proxy as being authorised to do so by P’s principal and the proxy specifically directs P to vote in the way mentioned in paragraph (1), P shall nevertheless not vote in that way unless P produces to the chair of the meeting written authorisation from P’s principal sufficient to show that the proxy-holder was entitled so to sign the proxy.
(3) This rule applies also to any person acting as chair of a meeting and using proxies in that capacity in accordance with rule 103(3); and in the application of this rule to any such person, the proxy-holder is deemed an associate of that person.
