(5) On and after such appointment no other person may raise or insist in an adjudication against realisable property or be confirmed as executor-creditor on that property.

19 (1) If a compensating payment is made to the transferor, the proceeds from the balancing event are the amount of the payment. U.K.

(2) Otherwise—

(a) the proceeds from the balancing event are the amount which is equal to the residue of qualifying expenditure immediately before the transfer, and

(b) no balancing adjustment is to be made as a result of the event under section 319 of the Allowances Act 2001.

(a) the relevant interest in the industrial building is partnership property, and

(b) compensating payments are made to one or more, but not both or all, of the partners.

(2) Instead, the proceeds from the balancing event are the sum of—
