Part 2 – Functions of judicial factor

Investment

43.Section 20 places judicial factors under a duty to consider whether it would be appropriate to invest funds which form part of the factory estate and, if so, how such funds should be invested. If, following that consideration, the judicial factor is of the view that investment would be appropriate, they are placed under a further duty to make the appropriate investment.
