136.(1) Where a mortgage lender (being a corporate entity) is being wound-up, a borrower shall not be liable to pay the amount payable in respect of a housing loan except at the time or times, and subject (as may be appropriate) to the conditions, set out in the mortgage or other security.

(2) A liquidator in the exercise of his powers under section 231 (2) (a) of the Companies Act, 1963, shall not dispose of any of the mortgage lender's assets constituting housing loans on terms as respects the loans other than terms which the High Court is satisfied are just and equitable and which the borrowers would have been reasonably entitled to expect if the mortgage lender had not been wound-up.
