239ADJ: Administrator not liable for rental if non-use notice in force
or “Administrator not required to pay rent for unused property during voluntary administration”
You could also call this:

“Court can release administrator from paying rent, but company still responsible”

The court can free an administrator from having to pay rent and other payments mentioned in section 239ADI. However, if the court does this, it doesn’t mean the company is off the hook. The company still has to pay what it owes. This rule is part of the Companies Act 1993 and applies when a company is in voluntary administration.
