Rule 22 Hire-purchase, conditional sale and hiring agreements

Subject as follows, an owner of goods under a hire-purchase agreement or under an agreement for the hire of goods for more than 3 months, or a seller of goods under a conditional sale agreement, is entitled to vote in respect of the amount of the debt due and payable to him by the protected energy company on the date that the protected energy company entered energy administration.

In calculating the amount of any debt for this purpose, no account shall be taken of any amount attributable to the exercise of any right under the relevant agreement, so far as the right has become exercisable solely by virtue of the making of an energy administration application or any matter arising as a consequence, or of the protected energy company entering energy administration.
