(2) In the circumstances set out below the creditor’s claim may include interest on the debt for periods before the relevant date although not previously reserved or agreed.
(3) If the debt is due by virtue of a written instrument and payable at a certain time, interest may be claimed for the period from that time to the relevant date.
(4) If the debt is due otherwise, interest may only be claimed if demand for payment of the debt was made in writing by or on behalf of the creditor, and notice was delivered that interest would be payable from the date of the demand to the date of the payment, before—
(a)the relevant date, in respect of administration or winding up; or
(b)the presentation of the bankruptcy petition or the bankruptcy application.

(6) The rate of interest to be claimed under paragraphs (3) and (4) is the rate specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838(1) on the relevant date.
(7) In an administration—
(a)any surplus remaining after payment of the debts proved must, before being applied for any other purpose, be applied in paying interest on those debts in respect of the periods during which they have been outstanding since the relevant date;
(b)all interest payable under sub-paragraph (a) ranks equally whether or not the debts on which it is payable rank equally; and
(c)the rate of interest payable under sub-paragraph (a) is whichever is the greater of the rate specified under paragraph (6) and the rate applicable to the debt apart from the administration.
