At any creditors' meeting the chair has power to admit or reject a creditor's claim for the purpose of the creditor's entitlement to vote; and the power is exercisable with respect to the whole or any part of the claim.

The chair's decision under this Rule, or in respect of any matter arising under Rule 25, is subject to appeal to the court by any creditor.

If the chair is in doubt whether a claim should be admitted or rejected, the chair must mark it as objected to and allow the creditor to vote, subject to the creditor's vote being subsequently declared invalid if the objection to the claim is sustained.

If on appeal the chair's decision is reversed or varied, or a creditor's vote is declared invalid, the court may order that another meeting be summoned, or make such other order as it thinks just.

An application to the court by way of appeal under this Rule against a decision of the chair must be made not later than 21 days after the date of the meeting.

Neither the energy administrator nor any person nominated by the energy administrator to be chair is personally liable for costs incurred by any person in respect of an appeal to the court under this Rule, unless the court makes an order to that effect.
