Companies Act 1993

Voluntary administration - Administrator's liability and indemnity for debts of administration

239ADK: Court may exempt administrator from liability for rent

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.
