There is nothing unequivocal in s. 15(a) of the Act to show that Parliament intended to depart from the technical meaning of 'voluntary winding up' and 'winding up by the Court' and to bid a good-bye to the distinction in our Company and Insurance jurisprudence between mere cessation of business by a company and its voluntary winding up or winding up by an order of the Court. The phrase 'voluntarily wound up' in the first limb would mean the voluntary winding up of an insurance public company in accordance with s. 54 of the Insurance Act, The Neptune Assurance Co. Ltd.v.
