This section applies if a security interest in property (the secured property ) of a company under administration was a circulating security interest when the interest arose, but has stopped being a circulating security interest because: (a) in the case of a PPSA security interest - the property has stopped being a circulating asset (within the meaning of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 ); or (b) in the case of a security interest that was a floating charge when it arose - the floating charge has since become a fixed or specific charge.
Note 1: A circulating security interest can be either a PPSA security interest to which a circulating asset has attached or a floating charge: see the definition of circulating security interest in section 9 .
Note 2: For the meaning of circulating asset , see section 340 of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 .
