Rule 10.166 Application for redirection order

This rule applies where the official receiver or trustee other than the official receiver makes an application to the court under section 371(1) (re-direction of bankrupt's letters etc.).

The application must be made without notice to the bankrupt or any other person, unless the court directs otherwise.

Where the applicant is the official receiver the applicant must file with the court with the application a report setting out the reasons why the order is sought.

Where the applicant is the trustee the applicant must file with the court a witness statement setting out the reasons why the order is sought.

The court must fix a venue for the hearing of the application if the court thinks just and deliver notice to the applicant.

The court may make an order on such conditions as it thinks just.

The order must identify the person on whom it is to be served, and need not be served on the bankrupt unless the court so directs.
