PROOF OF DEBTS RULES - RULE 5A

Caution: This is a past version. See the current version here.

If it is found at any time that the proof made by or on behalf of a secured
creditor has omitted to state that he is a secured creditor, the secured
creditor shall surrender his security to the Official Receiver or, where a
trustee has been appointed, the trustee, for the general benefit of the
creditors unless the court on application is satisfied that the omission has
arisen from inadvertence in which case the court may allow the proof to be
amended upon such terms as to the repayment of any dividends or otherwise as
the court may consider just. (L.N. 220 of 1992)
