The court was asked whether the prescribed parts of the company’s net property (as defined in s.176A (6)) is available to satisfy any part of the debts due to a creditor which are secured by a floating charge in that creditor’s favour but cannot be paid out of the realisation of the net property due to a shortfall in the value of the security. In terms of the statute the question is whether ‘unsecured debts’ in s.176A(2) include the unsecured balance of the debts due to the floating charge holder or other secured creditor.
