A sanctioned scheme of arrangement, approved with requisite creditor consent, operates as a binding novation that resolves antecedent debt and precludes initiation of insolvency proceedings under Section 7 when sanction predates the admission; Section 391(3) and (6) principles bind parties and stay coercive action.
