6(1)Rights that are exercisable by a person only in certain circumstances are to be treated as held by the person only—
(a)when the circumstances have arisen, and for so long as they continue to obtain, or
(b)when the circumstances are within the control of the person.
(2)But rights that are exercisable by an administrator or by creditors while an entity is in relevant insolvency proceedings are not to be regarded as held by the administrator or creditors even while the entity is in those proceedings.
(3)“Relevant insolvency proceedings” means—
(a)administration within the meaning of the Insolvency Act 1986,
(b)administration within the meaning of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (S.I. 1989/2405 (N.I. 19)), or
(c)proceedings under the insolvency law of another country or territory during which an entity’s assets and affairs are subject to the control or supervision of a third party or creditor.
(4)Rights that are normally exercisable but are temporarily incapable of exercise are not for that reason to be treated as not being held.
