The liquidator represents the company. He is vested with the broadest powers to realise the assets, even on an amicable basis. Restrictions on these powers, resulting from the Articles of Association or the instrument of appointment, may not be set up against third parties.
He is empowered to pay creditors and distribute the available balance.
He may only continue ongoing business or initiate new business for the purposes of the liquidation if he has been authorised to do so, either by the shareholders, or by court order if he was appointed by the same means.
