164. Liquidator

The company in general meeting must appoint one or more liquidators for the purpose of winding up the affairs and distributing the assets of the company, and may fix the remuneration to be paid to the liquidator or liquidators.

On the appointment of a liquidator, all the powers of the directors cease except so far as the liquidator, or the company in general meeting with the consent of the liquidator, approves the continuance of those powers.

The company may, in general meeting convened by any contributory by special resolution of which special notice has been given to the creditors and the liquidators, remove any liquidator.

No resolution under subsection (3) is effective to remove a liquidator if the Court, on the application of the liquidator or a creditor, has ordered that the liquidator not be removed.

If a vacancy occurs by death, resignation, removal or otherwise in the office of a liquidator, the company in general meeting may fill the vacancy by the appointment of a liquidator and fix the remuneration to be paid to the liquidator, and for that purpose a general meeting may be convened by any contributory, or, if there were 2 or more liquidators, by the continuing liquidators.

The meeting must be held in the manner provided by this Act, or by the constitution of the company, or in such manner as is, on application by any contributory or by the continuing liquidators, determined by the Court.
