Where the Authority gives an insurer a direction under paragraph (e} of subsection (1) of section 65 by reason of the insolvency of the fund maintained by the insurer under this Order for either class of insurance business, the affairs of the insurer may be wound up by the Court under the Companies Act (Chapter 39)

Where the Authority gives an insurer a direction under paragraph (e} of subsection ( 1) of section 65 but, on a petition for the insurer to be wound up by the Court, the Court is satisfied that the insurer will be able to pay its debts in full within one year or such longer period as the Court thinks reasonable, the court may (if it thinks fit) order the affairs of the insurer to be wound up only as regards the insurance fund maintained for the class of business to which the direction relates.
