(b)alleges that all his unsecured debts amount in the aggregate to a sum not exceeding[F1 £5,000] or such other amount as may be prescribed, by rules (inclusive of the debt for which the judgment was obtained, but, subject to that, regardless of whether any of the debts has been the subject of a judgment or not); and

the Office may, on his application, make an order (an “administration order”) providing for the administration of his estate.
