279. Security by LLP liquidator appointed by Tribunal.

(1) Every LLP Liquidator appointed by the Tribunal shall, before entering upon his duties as a Liquidator of the LLP for which he is appointed, furnish security in such sum and in such manner as the Tribunal may direct. The cost of furnishing the required security shall be borne by the LLP Liquidator and shall not be charged against the assets of the LLP as an expense incurred in the winding up.

(2) If the Tribunal is of the opinion that the security furnished by the LLP Liquidator under sub-rule (1) is inadequate, the Tribunal may require the LLP Liquidator to furnish additional security. Where the security furnished is excessive, the LLP Liquidator may apply to the Tribunal for reducing the amount of security, and the Tribunal may make such order thereon as it thinks fit.
