Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1), where different persons are nominated, any director or member may, within 7 days after the date on which the nomination was made by the creditors, apply to the Court for an order directing that the person nominated as liquidator by the company shall be liquidator instead of or jointly with the person nominated by the creditors.
