Proof of bankruptcy debts and notice of orderE+W

6.232.—(1) The making of a bankruptcy order on a criminal bankruptcy petition does not affect the right of creditors to prove for their debts arising otherwise than in consequence of the criminal proceedings.

(2) A person specified in a criminal bankruptcy order as having suffered loss or damage shall be treated as a creditor of the bankrupt; and a copy of the order is sufficient evidence of his claim, subject to its being shown by any party to the bankruptcy proceedings that the loss or damage actually suffered was more or (as the case may be) less than the amount specified in the order.

(3) The requirements of the Rules with respect to the proof of debts do not apply to the Official Petitioner.

(4) In criminal bankruptcy, the forms to be used by any person for the purpose of proving bankruptcy debts shall be sent out by the official receiver, not less than 12 weeks from the making of the bankruptcy order, to every creditor who is known to him, or is identified in the bankrupt's statement of affairs.

(5) The official receiver shall, within those 12 weeks, send to every such creditor notice of the making of the bankruptcy order.
