239ACK: Remuneration of deed administrator
or “How much the deed administrator can charge for their work”

You could also call this:

“Deed administrator can sell company shares with consent or court approval”

The deed administrator can sell existing shares in the company. This can happen in two ways. First, if the shareholder agrees to it. Second, if the shareholder doesn’t agree, the deed administrator can ask the court for permission to sell the shares.

If the deed administrator asks the court for permission, some people can oppose this request. These people include the shareholder involved, any creditor of the company, the Financial Markets Authority (if the company is involved in financial markets), or the Registrar.
