The company's liquidator may recover from the related entity, as a debt due to the company, an amount equal to the amount referred to in paragraph (1)(c).

In deciding what orders (if any) to make under section 588FF on an application relating to the transaction, a court must take into account any amount recovered under subsection (2) of this section.

588FH(4)  [Rights of related entity]  

If the liquidator recovers an amount under subsection (2) from the related entity, the related entity has the same rights:

(a)  whether by way of indemnity, subrogation, contribution or otherwise; and

(b)  against the company or anyone else;

as if the related entity had paid the amount in discharging, to the extent of that amount, the liability referred to in paragraph (1)(c).
