Proof of criminal bankruptcy debt in bankruptcy proceedings

9(1)For the purpose of proving a criminal bankruptcy debt in proceedings pursuant to a criminal bankruptcy petition, a copy of the criminal bankruptcy order specifying the amount deemed by virtue of paragraph 2 above to be due as a debt shall, subject to paragraph 6 above, be treated as sufficient evidence of the debt unless it is shown by any party to the proceedings that the amount of the relevant loss or damage is greater or less than the amount specified in the order or that the loss or damage did not in fact result from any offence specified in the order; and if it is shown by any party to the proceedings that the amount of the relevant loss or damage is greater than that specified in the order, paragraph 2 above shall have effect as if the greater amount had been specified in the order.

(2)Nothing in this paragraph or paragraph 2 above shall be taken as prejudicing the proof in proceedings pursuant to a criminal bankruptcy petition of debts other than criminal bankruptcy debts.

(3)Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) above shall be construed as entitling any person to contend that the offence or offences specified in a criminal bankruptcy order were not committed by the person against whom the order was made.
