(2) The liquidator must seek a nomination from the creditors for a liquidator in the creditors’ voluntary winding up by—
(a)a decision procedure; or
(b)the deemed consent procedure.
(3) The liquidator must deliver to the creditors a copy of the statement of affairs required by section 95(1A) and Chapter 2 of this Part together with a notice which complies with rules 15.7 or 15.8 so far as are relevant.
(4) The notice must also contain—
(a)identification and contact details for the existing liquidator; and
(b)a statement that if no person is nominated by the creditors then the existing liquidator will be the liquidator in the creditors’ voluntary winding up.

(6) Subject to paragraph (9), the creditors must be given at least 14 days’ notice of the decision date.
(7) Paragraph (8) applies where—
(a)the liquidator has sought a decision from creditors on the nomination of a liquidator by the deemed consent procedure; but
(b)the level of objections to the proposed nomination have meant, under section 246ZF, that no nomination is deemed to have been made.
(8) Where this paragraph applies, the liquidator must seek a nomination from creditors by way of a decision procedure in accordance with this rule, the decision date to be as soon as reasonably practicable, but no more than 28 days from the date that the level of objections had the effect that no nomination was deemed to have been made.
(9) Where paragraph (8) applies, the creditors must be given at least seven days’ notice of the decision date.
