16. A judicial trustee shall, unless the court otherwise directs, be allowed on the audit of his accounts deductions made on account of his remuneration and allowances under these rules and also on account of the fees paid by him under these rules, but shall not be allowed any deduction on account of the expenses of professional assistance, or his own work, or personal outlay, unless the court is satisfied that the deduction is justified by the strict necessity of the case.

(b) for realizing and re-investing trust property, where the property is realized for the purpose of re-investment, an allowance not exceeding one and a half per cent of the amount realized and re-invested;

(c) for realizing or investing trust property in any other case, an allowance not exceeding one per cent on the amount realized or invested.

(4) The court may also in any year make a special allowance to a judicial trustee, if satisfied that in that year more trouble has been thrown upon the trustee by reason of exceptional circumstances than would ordinarily be involved in the administration of the trust.

(5) Where a trustee is remunerated, any allowance under this rule shall be paid in addition to the remuneration.
