Where an examination has been adjourned sine die and the bankrupt desires to
have a day appointed for proceeding with his public examination, the expense
of gazetting, advertising and giving notice to creditors of the day to be
appointed for proceeding with such examination shall, unless the Official
Receiver or trustee, as the case may be, consents to the costs being paid out
of the estate, be at the cost of the bankrupt, who shall, before any day is
appointed for proceeding with the public examination, deposit with the
Official Receiver or trustee, as the case may be, such sum as he may specify
to the bankrupt that he considers sufficient to defray the expense aforesaid.
The balance of the deposit after defraying the expense aforesaid shall be
returned to the bankrupt. (L.N. 77 of 1998; L.N. 123 of 2007) [cf. R. 197]
