        (1)         Where, after an association has been dissolved (whether before or after the commencement of this Act), it is proved to the satisfaction of the Commission—

            (a)         that the association, if it still existed, would be legally or equitably bound to carry out, complete or give effect to some dealing, transaction or matter; and

            (b)         that, in order to carry out, complete or give effect to that dealing, transaction or matter, some purely administrative act, not being of a discretionary kind, should have been done by or on behalf of the association, or should be done by or on behalf of the association if the association still existed,

the Commission may, as representing the association or its liquidator under the provisions of this section, do that act or cause that act to be done.
