400. End of receivership

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

A receivership ends –

when a receiver is satisfied that –

(i)

the debt secured by the fixed security or floating charge by virtue of which the receiver was appointed has been satisfied in full; or

(ii)

if earlier than expected –

(a)

all of the property in respect of which the receiver was appointed has been realized, or so much as can in the receiver’s opinion be realised without needlessly protracting the receivership has been realised; and

(b)

all of the proceeds of realisation have been distributed;

(b)

after notice is given to a receiver by an administrator or liquidator, requiring the receivership to end, under section 234 or 331; or

(c)

under subsection (5) of section 399.
