(2) The Official Trustee shall not accept any trust which involves the management or carrying on of any business, except of the purpose of winding up forthwith such business in order to realise the trust funds. In any case, in which it is necessary to wind up any business, the Official Trustee shall be entitled to employ, at the expense of the trust, such person or persons as may, in his opinion be necessary, for the purpose of so winding up the business, and he shall not be liable for any loss which may occur in the management of such business.
