Part IV: Winding Up of Companies Registered under the Companies Acts — Chapter VI: Winding Up by the Court

The court may, at any time after making a winding-up order, and either before or after it has ascertained the sufficiency of the company's assets, make calls on all or any of the contributories for the time being settled on the list of the contributories to the extent of their liability, for payment of any money which the court considers necessary to satisfy the company's debts and liabilities, and the expenses of winding up, and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves, and make an order for payment of any calls so made.

In making a call the court may take into consideration the probability that some of the contributories may partly or wholly fail to pay it.
