  "heading": "Fixing of remuneration",
  "text": "(1) The special railway administrator is entitled to receive remuneration for his services as such.\n(2) The remuneration shall be fixed either—\n(a) as a percentage of the value of the property with which he has to deal, or\n(b) by reference to the time properly given by the insolvency practitioner (as special railway administrator) and his staff in attending to matters arising in the administration.\n(3) The remuneration of the special railway administrator may be fixed by a resolution of a meeting of creditors, determining both whether the remuneration is to be fixed under paragraph (2) (a) or (b) and, if under paragraph (2)(a), any percentage to be applied as there mentioned.\n(4) In arriving at that determination, the meeting of creditors shall have regard to the following matters—\n(a) the complexity (or otherwise) of the case,\n(b) any respects in which, in connection with the protected railway company’s affairs, there falls on the special railway administrator any responsibility of an exceptional kind or degree,\n(c) the effectiveness with which the special railway administrator appears to be carrying out, or to have carried out, his duties as such, and\n(d) the value and nature of the property with which he has to deal.\n(6) If not fixed as above, the special railway administrator’s remuneration shall, on his application, be fixed by the court.\n(7) The court may, if it appears to be a proper case, order the costs of the special railway administrator’s application to be paid as an expense of the railway administration.\n(8) Where there are joint special railway administrators, it is for them to agree between themselves as to how the remuneration payable should be apportioned. Any dispute arising between them may be referred to the court for settlement by order.\n(9) If the special railway administrator is a solicitor and employs his own firm, or any partner of that firm, to act on behalf of the protected railway company, profit costs shall not be paid unless this is authorised by the court.",
