(3) In a liquidation, in the case of a resolution for the appointment of a liquidator -
(a)if, on any vote, there are two nominees for appointment, the person for whom a majority in value has voted shall be appointed;
(b)if there are three or more nominees, and one of them has a clear majority over both or all the others together, that one is appointed; and
(c)in any other case, the chairman of the meeting shall continue to take votes (disregarding at each vote any nominee who has withdrawn and, if no nominee has withdrawn, the nominee who obtained the least support last time), until a clear majority is obtained for any one nominee.
The chairman may, at any time, put to the meeting a resolution for the joint appointment of any two or more nominees.
