12. (1) Where a security is so valued, the trustee may at any time redeem it on
payment to the creditor of the assessed value.
(2) (a) Subject to paragraph (3), where the trustee is dissatisfied with the
value at which a security is assessed, he may require that the property comprised in any security so valued be offered for sale at such times and on such
terms and conditions as may be agreed on between the creditor and the trustee,
or as, in default of such agreement, the Court may direct.
(b) Where the sale is by public auction, the creditor, or the trustee on behalf of the estate, may bid or purchase.
(3) A creditor may at any time, by notice in writing, require the trustee to
elect whether he will or will not exercise his power of redeeming the security or
requiring it to be realised, and if the trustee does not, within 6 months after
receiving the notice, signify in writing to the creditor his election to exercise the
power, he shall not be entitled to exercise it, and the equity of redemption, or
any other interest in the property comprised in the security which is vested in the
trustee, shall vest in the creditor, and the amount of his debt shall be reduced by
the amount at which the security has been valued.
