Despite subsection (1), where different persons are nominated, any director, member or creditor may, within 7 days after the date on which the nomination was made by the creditors, apply to the Court for an order directing that the person nominated as liquidator by the company is to be liquidator instead of, or jointly with, the person nominated by the creditors.

The committee of inspection or, if there is no such committee, the creditors may fix the remuneration to be paid to the liquidator.

On the appointment of a liquidator, all the powers of the directors cease, except so far as the committee of inspection or, if there is no such committee, the creditors approve the continuance of those powers.

If a liquidator, other than a liquidator appointed by or by the direction of the Court, dies, resigns or otherwise vacates the office, the creditors may fill the vacancy and, for the purpose of filling the vacancy, a meeting of the creditors may be summoned by any 2 of their number.
