Explanation
Section 230(9) permits the Tribunal to dispense with a meeting of creditors or class of creditors where creditors having at least ninety per cent value agree and confirm by affidavit. 92% exceeds the threshold, so dispensation is possible. The 100% and winding-up conditions are not in the provision.
