Regulation 26 Withdrawals in case of bankrupts

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Where it is shown to the satisfaction of the Director of Savings that a receiving order has been made against any person who is a sole depositor, or that a trustee has been appointed in the bankruptcy of any such person, or that an order for the administration in bankruptcy of the estate of a deceased sole depositor has been made, the Director of Savings may, if he thinks fit, on an application made in that behalf by the Official Receiver or trustee, pay the deposits standing in the name of the depositor, or any part thereof, to the Official Receiver or trustee.
