Upon the making up of the winding up order there is transferred to the liquidator all the powers of the directors which it can reasonably have been intended to v
est in the liquidator and the powers of the directors come to an end with the appointment of a permanent liquidator as is the case here. After this the directors do not have any power, inter alia, to conduct proceedings on behalf of the company. In a comp
u
lsory winding up, as in this case, there is no winding up until the Court makes an Order, but the winding up is deemed to have commenced at the time of presentation of the petition. The relevance in most cases is the occurrence of the winding up itself an
d this, inter alia, has an effect on the right to commence or continue actions or proceedings against the company. The control of the company\rquote s affairs is upon a winding up taken from the directors and vested in the liquidator.}{\rtlch\fcs1

Where a company is being wound up and it has no assets, or insufficient assets, to enable the due processes of the liquidator to be carried through, a creditor is to be encourage
d, rather than criticized, in making funds available to the liquidator.. Nor need a liquidator be diffident in accepting funds or indemnities from creditors so as to enable a winding up to proceed. Moreover, I see no reason to criticize on the grounds of 
p
ropriety the arrangement under which a creditor provides money or indemnity to cover the expenses of a specific step in the winding up, such as the bringing of named proceedings or the carrying out of named examinations. Arrangements such as these are com
monplace, and, if anything, they are to be encouraged, as very frequently some such arrangement enables the liquidator to carry out his duties more thoroughly or comprehensively than would otherwise be the case (cf. Companies Act 1961, s.292(10)).\'94}{
