SECTION 564   POWER OF COURT TO MAKE ORDERS IN FAVOUR OF CERTAIN CREDITORS  

564    Where in any winding up:

(a)  property has been recovered under an indemnity for costs of litigation given by certain creditors, or has been protected or preserved by the payment of moneys or the giving of indemnity by creditors; or

(b)  expenses in relation to which a creditor has indemnified a liquidator have been recovered;

the Court may make such orders, as it deems just with respect to the distribution of that property and the amount of those expenses so recovered with a view to giving those creditors an advantage over others in consideration of the risk assumed by them.
