# The Insolvency (Scotland) (Receivership and Winding up) Rules 2018, Article 10.6: Liquidation committee established by contributories


(1) This rule applies where, under section 142, the creditors do not decide that a liquidation committee should be established, or decide that a committee should not be established.
(2) The contributories may decide to appoint one of their number to make application to the court for an order requiring the liquidator to seek a further decision from the creditors on whether to establish a liquidation committee; and—
(a) the court may, if it thinks that there are special circumstances to justify it, make such an order; and
(b) the creditors' decision sought by the liquidator in compliance with the order is deemed to have been a decision under section 142.
(3) If the creditors decide under paragraph (2)(b) not to establish a liquidation committee, the contributories may establish a committee.
(4) The committee must then consist of at least 3, and not more than 5, contributories elected by the contributories; and rule 10.5 applies, substituting for the reference to rule 10.3 in rule 10.5(8) a reference to this paragraph.
