Paragraph 17 Protection of creditors against forfeiture
Where money or other property falls to be dealt with in accordance with paragraph 14(3), the relevant officer may—
deduct allowable forfeiture expenses from that money;
retain so much of that property as he considers necessary for the purpose of realising it and deducting allowable forfeiture expenses from the proceeds of realisation.
Where property is delivered up in pursuance of paragraph 14(3) and the relevant officer has not made provision under sub-paragraph (1) for all the allowable forfeiture expenses, then—
a person who has incurred allowable forfeiture expenses for which provision has not been made shall have a claim to their value in the insolvency proceedings, and
the expenses in question shall be treated for the purposes of the insolvency proceedings as if they were expenses of those proceedings.
