127.
Creditor required to give up security
The Official Receiver or liquidator may within 28 days after a proof or in a
voluntary liquidation a statement estimating the value of a security as aforesaid has
been used in voting at a meeting require the creditor to give up the security for the
benefit of the creditors generally on payment of the value so estimated with an addition
thereto of 20 per
cent:
Provided that where a creditor has valued
his security he may at any time before being required to give it up correct the
valuation by a new proof and deduct the new value from his debt, but in that case the
said addition of 20 per cent shall not be made if the security is required to be given
up.
