The Postal Administration Rules 2013

Redemption by postal administrator

62.—(1) The postal administrator may at any time give notice to a creditor whose debt is secured that the postal administrator proposes, at the expiration of 28 days from the date of the notice, to redeem the security at the value put upon it in the creditor’s proof.

(2) The creditor then has 21 days (or such longer period as the postal administrator may allow) in which, if they so wish, to exercise their right to revalue their security (with the permission of the court, where Rule 60(2) applies). If the creditor re-values their security, the postal administrator may only redeem at the new value.

(3) If the postal administrator redeems the security, the cost of transferring it is payable out of the assets.

(4) A secured creditor may at any time, by a notice in writing, call on the postal administrator to elect whether the postal administrator will or will not exercise the postal administrator’s power to redeem the security at the value then placed on it; and the postal administrator then has 3 months in which to exercise the power or determine not to exercise it.
