127 Protection of property interests
(l) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), during a company's corporate rescue
proceedings-
(a)
the company may dispose, or agree to dispose, of property only(i)
in the ordinary course of its business; or
(ii) in a bonafide transaction at arm's length for fair value approved in
advance and in writing by the practitioner; or
(iii) in a transaction contemplated within, and undertaken as part of the
implementation of, a corporate rescue plan that has been approved
in terms of section 145;
and
(b)
any person who, as a result of an agreement made in the ordinary course of
the company's business before the corporate rescue proceedings began, is
in lawful possession of any property owned by the company may continue
to exercise any right in respect of that property as contemplated in that
agreement, subject to section 129; and
(c)
despite any provision of an agreement to the contrary, no person may
exercise any right in respect of any property in the lawful possession
of the company, irrespective of whether the property is owned by the
company, except to the extent that the practitioner consents in writing.
(2) The practitioner may not unreasonably withhold consent in terms of
subsection (l)(c), having regard to-

the purposes of this Part; and
the circumstances of the company; and
the nature of the property, and the rights claimed in respect of it.
(3) If, during a company's corporate rescue proceedings, the company wishes
to dispose of any property over which another person has any security or title interest,
the company must(a) obtain the prior consent of that other person, unless the proceeds of the
disposal would be sufficient to fully discharge the indebtedness protected
by that person's security or title interest; and
(b)
promptly(i)
pay to that other person the sale proceeds attributable to that property
up to the amount of the company's indebtedness to that other person;
or
