Remuneration of receiver
45.—(1) Where a receiver is appointed for a patient, the court or the Public Trustee may, during the receivership, allow the receiver remuneration for his services at such amount or at such rate as it or he considers reasonable and proper and any remuneration so allowed shall constitute debt due to the receiver from the patient and his estate.
(2) No request by a receiver to have the sum payable for his remuneration fixed after the death or recovery of the patient shall be entertained unless the court or the Public Trustee has during the receivership directed that remuneration be allowed and the request is made within six years from the date of the receiver’s discharge.
