Bankruptcy Rules
[1977 Ed.
110. In any case in which it appears from the debtor's state-ment of affairs that there are numerous claims for wages by workmen or others employed by the debtor, it shall be sufficient if one proof for all such claims is made either by the debtor or by his foreman or some other person on behalf of all such creditors. Such proof shall have annexed thereto, as forming part thereof, a schedule setting forth the names of the workmen or others and the amounts severally due to them. Any proof made in com-pliance with this rule shall have the same effect as if separate proofs had been made by each of the said workmen or others.
111. Where a creditor seeks to prove in respect of a bill of exchange, promissory note, or other negotiable instrument or security on which the debtor is liable, such bill of exchange, note, instrument or security must, subject to any special order of the court made to the contrary, be produced to the Official Receiver chairman of a meeting or trustee, as the case may be, before the proof can be admitted either for voting or for dividend.
112. A proof intended to be used at the first meeting of creditors shall be lodged with the Official Receiver not later than 24 hours before the time appointed for the meeting. A proof intended to be used at an adjournment of the first meeting (if not lodged in time for the first meeting) must be lodged not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the adjourned meeting.
113. Where a trustee is appointed in any matter, all proofs of debts that have been received by the Official Receiver shall be handed over to the trustee, but the Official Receiver shall first make a list of such proofs and take a receipt thereon from the trustee for such proofs.
114. The Official Receiver, as trustee, not later than 21 days from the latest date specified in the notice of his intention to declare a dividend as the time within which such proofs must be lodged, shall either admit or reject wholly or in part every proof lodged with him or require further evidence in support thereof.
115. The trustee, other than the Official Receiver, within 28 days after receiving a proof which has not previously been dealt with by the Official Receiver shall, in writing, either admit or reject it wholly or in part or require further evidence in support thereof:
Provided that where the trustee has given notice of his intention to declare a dividend he shall, within 21 days after the date men-tioned in such notice as the latest date up to which proofs must be lodged, examine and in writing admit or reject every proof which has not been already admitted or rejected and give notice of his decision rejecting a proof wholly or in part to the creditor affected thereby.
