152. Whenever, under the powers given by section 78 of the Ordinance, the Official Receiver employs any person to assist the debtor in the preparation of his statement of affairs, he shall report the matter to the court and specify the remuneration to be allowed to such person.
153. Where the Official Receiver holds any proxies but cannot conveniently attend any meeting of creditors at which such proxy or proxies might be used, he may depute some person under his official control, by writing under his hand, to attend such meeting and use proxies on his behalf and in such manner as he may direct.
154. In any case of sudden emergency or where there is no Official Receiver or Deputy Official Receiver capable of acting, any act or thing required or authorized to be done by the Official Receiver may be done by the Registrar.
155. When the Official Receiver appoints a special manager, he may at any time remove him if his employment seems unnecessary or unprofitable to the estate, and he shall remove him if so required by a special resolution of the creditors.
156. Applications by the Official Receiver to the court may be made personally, and without notice or other formality, but the court may in any case order that an application may be renewed in a formal manner and that such notice thereof be given to any person likely to be affected thereby as the court may direct.
157. Where for the purposes of any application to the court by the Official Receiver for directions, or on his opposing a receiving order or an order for adjudication, or on his applying to adjudge a debtor bankrupt, or to rescind a receiving order, or to annul an adjudication order, or for leave to disclaim a lease, or for an extension of time to apply for leave to disclaim a lease, or for an order to take criminal proceedings against a bankrupt, or to commit a bankrupt, it is necessary that evidence be given by him in support of such opposition or application, such evidence may be given by a report of the Official Receiver to the court and need not be given by affidavit, and any such report of the Official Receiver to the court shall be received by the court as prima facie evidence of the matters reported upon.
158. In any case of doubt or difficulty or in any matter not provided for by the Ordinance or any rules thereunder relating to any proceeding in court, the Official Receiver may apply to the court for directions.
