Rule 28 Submission of claims
A creditor, in order to obtain an adjudication as to his entitlement to vote at any meeting of the creditors in the energy administration or to a dividend (so far as funds are available) out of the assets of the protected energy company in respect of any accounting period, shall submit his claim to the energy administrator–
at or before the meeting; or,
not later than 8 weeks before the end of the accounting period.
A creditor shall submit his claim by producing to the energy administrator–
a statement of claim in the Form EA15(S); and
an account or voucher (according to the nature of the debt claimed) which constitutes prima facie evidence of the debt,
but the energy administrator may dispense with any requirement of this paragraph in respect of any debt or any class of debt.
A claim submitted by a creditor, which has been accepted in whole or in part by the energy administrator for the purpose of voting at a meeting or of drawing a dividend in respect of any accounting period, shall be deemed to have been resubmitted for the purpose of obtaining an adjudication as to his entitlement both to vote at any subsequent meeting and (so far as funds are available) to a dividend in respect of an accounting period or, as the case may be, any subsequent accounting period.
A creditor, who has submitted a claim, may at any time submit a further claim specifying a different amount for his claim;
Provided that a secured creditor shall not be entitled to produce a further claim specifying a different value for the security at any time after the energy administrator has required the creditor to discharge, or convey or assign, the security under Rule 29(2).
