(b) in the case of a security interest that was a floating charge when it arose - the floating charge has since become a fixed or specific charge.
Subject to sections 442C and 442D , in the case of a PPSA security interest, the administrator may deal with any of the secured property in any way the company could deal with the secured property immediately before it stopped being a circulating asset. Floating charge 442B(3)
Subject to sections 442C and 442D , in the case of a security interest that was a floating charge when it arose, the administrator may deal with any of the secured property as if the security interest were still a floating charge.
