A quorum is—
a
in the case of a meeting of creditors, at least one creditor entitled to vote; and

in the case of a meeting of contributories, at least 2 contributories entitled to vote, or all the contributories, if their number does not exceed 2.

Where the provisions of this rule as to quorum are satisfied by the attendance of the chair alone or the chair and one additional person, but the chair is aware, either by virtue of statements of claim and documentary evidence of debt and proxies received or otherwise, that one or more additional persons would, if attending, be entitled to vote, the chair must delay the start of the meeting by at least 15 minutes after the appointed time.

In this rule, the reference to the number of creditors or contributories necessary to constitute a quorum includes those represented by proxy by any person (including the chair).
