Section 273. Arrangement when binding on creditors.
 
(1) Any arrangement entered into between a company about to be or in the course of being wound up and its creditors shall, subject to the right of appeal under this section, be binding on the company if sanctioned by a special resolution, and on the creditors if acceded to by three-fourths in value and one-half in number of the creditors, every creditor for under fifty ringgit being reckoned in value only.

(2) A creditor shall be accounted a creditor for value for such sum as upon an account fairly stated, after allowing the value of security or liens held by him and the amount of any debt or set-off owing by him to the debtor, appears to be the balance due to him.

(3) Any dispute with regard to the value of any such security or lien or the amount of such debt or set-off may be settled by the Court on the application of the company, the liquidator, or the creditor.

(4) Any creditor or contributory may, within three weeks from the completion of the arrangement, appeal to the Court against it, and the Court may thereupon as it thinks just amend, vary or confirm the arrangement.
