Paragraph 114 Amendment of Rule 6.126

After paragraph (4) of Rule 6.126 there shall be added the following paragraphs:—

“(5)

If there is no quorum present at the meeting summoned to receive the trustee’s resignation, the meeting is deemed to have been held, a resolution is deemed to have been passed that the trustee’s resignation be accepted and the creditors are deemed not to have resolved against the trustee having his release.

(6)

Where paragraph (5) applies any reference in the Rules to a resolution that the trustee’s resignation be accepted is replaced by a reference to the making of a written statement, signed by the person who, had there been a quorum present, would have been chairman of the meeting, that no quorum was present and that the trustee may resign.”.
