§ 1904 Corporate Winding Up Oversight
This law lets a court step in to supervise a company that is closing down on its own, if certain people ask for help.
A small tech startup decides to shut down. One of the shareholders who owns 6% of the company worries that the creditors might not get paid, so they ask the court to take charge of the shutdown.
Because the shareholder owns more than 5% of the shares, the court can take over the winding‑up process, make orders to protect the shareholders and creditors, and run the closing steps.
