sec.415 Court ordered meeting of creditors

An appropriate person to apply for an order is— the co-operative; or a member of the co-operative; or one of the creditors concerned; or for a co-operative being wound up—the liquidator. The meeting must be called in the way and be held in the place or places (in this jurisdiction or elsewhere) the Supreme Court directs. In considering whether to make an order for a meeting to be held in another jurisdiction, the Supreme Court may have regard to where creditors concerned reside.
