Rule 2.124 Administrator deceasedF1

Subject as follows, where the administrator has died, it is the duty of his personal representatives to give notice of the fact to the court, specifying the date of the death. This does not apply if notice has been given under either paragraph (2) or (3) of this Rule.

If the deceased administrator was a partner in a firm, notice may be given by a partner in the firm who is qualified to act as an insolvency practitioner, or is a member of any body recognised by the Secretary of State for the authorisation of insolvency practitioners.

Notice of the death may be given by any person producing to the court the relevant death certificate or a copy of it.

Where a person gives notice to the court under this Rule, he shall also give notice to the registrar of companies in Form 2.39B.
