Question:Which three of the following statements describe the effect of an administration order?
  A. The administrator can sell assets which are subject to a fixed or floating charge to raise money for the company.
  B. A winding up order may not be made.
  C. The administrator acts as agent for the company as a whole, including the creditors.
  D. Past transactions of the company may not be challenged.
  E. No creditor can appoint a receiver.
  The correct answers are: A winding up order may not be made; No creditor can appoint a receiver; The administrator acts as agent for the company as a whole, including creditors.
  解析The effect of an administration order is to protect the company even more, so that no petition may be presented for compulsory liquidation, nor may a creditor appoint a receiver. The administrator becomes an agent for the company, as a whole.
  The administrator's proposals cannot affect the right of a secured creditor to enforce their security. Funds raised by the sale of secured assets go to to chargeholder not the company.
