PROOF OF DEBTS RULES - RULE 5A

(Past version on 30/06/1997).

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 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; L.N. 129 of 2007)
