4.073.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) to (5) and Rule 4.074-CVL, at a meeting of creditors a person is entitled to vote as a creditor only if—
(a)there has been duly lodged (in a winding up by the court by the time and date stated in the notice of the meeting) a proof of the debt claimed to be due to him from the company, and the claim has been admitted under Rule 4.076 for the purpose of entitlement to vote, and
(b)there has been lodged, by the time and date stated in the notice of the meeting, any proxy requisite for that entitlement.
(2) The court may, in exceptional circumstances, by order declare the creditors, or any class of them, entitled to vote at creditors' meetings, without being required to prove their debts.
(3) Where a creditor is entitled to vote under paragraph (2), the court may, on the application of the liquidator, make such consequential orders as it thinks fit (as for example an order treating a creditor as having proved his debt for the purpose of permitting payment of dividend).
(4) A creditor shall not vote in respect of a debt for an unliquidated amount, or any debt whose value is not ascertained, except where the chairman agrees to put upon the debt an estimated minimum value for the purpose of entitlement to vote and admits his proof for that purpose.
(5) A secured creditor is entitled to vote only in respect of the balance (if any) of his debt after deducting the value of his security as estimated by him.
(6) A creditor shall not vote in respect of a debt on, or secured by, a current bill of exchange or promissory note, unless he is willing—
(a)to treat the liability to him on the bill or note of every person who is liable on it antecedently to the company, and against whom a bankruptcy order has not been made (or, in the case of a company, which has not gone into liquidation), as a security in his hands, and
(b)to estimate the value of the security and (for the purpose of entitlement to vote, but not for dividend) to deduct it from his proof.
