Any dispute arising between them may be referred—\n(a) to the court, for settlement by order, or\n(b) to the creditors' committee or a meeting of creditors, for settlement by resolution.\n(3) If the trustee is a solicitor and employs his own firm, or any partner in it, to act on behalf of the estate, profit costs shall not be paid unless this is authorised by the creditors' committee, the creditors or the court.",
