Article 8.31 Calculation of voting rights
Votes are calculated according to the amount of each creditor's claim—
in a receivership, as at the date of the appointment of the receiver, less any payments that have been made to the creditor after that date in respect of the claim;
in a creditors' voluntary winding up or a winding up by the court, as set out in the creditor's statement of claim and documentary evidence of debt to the extent that it has been admitted.
A creditor may vote in respect of a debt of an unliquidated or unascertained amount if the convener or chair decides to put upon it an estimated minimum value for the purpose of entitlement to vote and admits the claim for that purpose.
Where a debt is wholly secured its value for voting purposes is nil.
Where a debt is partly secured its value for voting purposes is the value of the unsecured part.
No vote may be cast in respect of a claim more than once on any resolution put to the meeting F1....
A vote cast in a decision procedure which is not a meeting may not be changed.
Paragraph (5) does not prevent a creditor F2... from—
voting in respect of less than the full value of an entitlement to vote; or
casting a vote one way in respect of part of the value of an entitlement and another way in respect of some or all of the balance of that value.
