(1)

Where an applicant proposes to make an application for the appointment of a receiver or a new receiver, the applicant shall give notice of his intention to—

(a)

all relatives of the patient who have the same or a nearer degree of relationship to the patient than the applicant or proposed receiver; and

(b)

such other persons who appear to the court to be interested as the court may specify;
