Hand-over of property etc. to supervisor

2.39.—(1) Where the decision approving a CVA has effect under section 4A or paragraph 36 of Schedule A1, and the supervisor is not the same person as the proposer, the proposer must, as soon as reasonably practicable, do all that is required to put the supervisor in possession of the assets included in the CVA.

(2) Where the company is in administration or liquidation and the supervisor is not the same person as the administrator or liquidator, the supervisor must—

(a) before taking possession of the assets included in the CVA, deliver to the administrator or liquidator an undertaking to discharge the balance referred to in paragraph (3) out of the first realisation of assets; or

(b) upon taking possession of the assets included in the CVA, discharge such balance.

(3) The balance is any balance due to the administrator or liquidator, or to the official receiver not acting as liquidator—

(a) by way of fees or expenses properly incurred and payable under the Act or these Rules; and

(b) on account of any advances made in respect of the company together with interest on such advances at the rate specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838(1) at the date on which the company entered administration or went into liquidation.

(4) The administrator or liquidator, or the official receiver not acting as liquidator, has a charge on the assets included in the CVA in respect of any sums comprising such balance, subject only to the deduction from realisations by the supervisor of the proper costs and expenses of such realisations.

(5) The supervisor must from time to time out of the realisation of assets—

(a) discharge all guarantees properly given by the administrator or liquidator for the benefit of the company; and

(b) pay all the expenses of the administrator or liquidator or of the official receiver not acting as liquidator.

(6) Sums due to the official receiver take priority over those due to any other person under this rule.
