114.—(1) This Part applies where the administrator sets a bar date for the submission of claims as set out in regulation 11(1).
(2) The administrator shall give notice of the bar date—
(a)to all clients of whose claim in respect of the client assets the administrator is aware; and
(b)to all those persons whom the administrator believes have a right to assert a security interest or other entitlement over the client assets,
and whom the administrator has a means of contacting.
(3) Notice of the bar date shall also be sent to—
(a)the FSA; and
(b)in a special administration (bank administration) before the Bank of England has given an Objective A Achievement Notice, the Bank of England.
(4) Notice of the bar date—
(a)shall be advertised once in the Edinburgh Gazette; and
(b)may be advertised in such other manner as the administrator thinks fit.
(5) In advertising the date under paragraph (4), the administrator shall aim to ensure that the bar date comes to the attention of as many of those persons who are eligible to submit a claim under regulation 11(1) as the administrator considers practicable.
(6) After setting a bar date, the administrator may agree a later date for the submission of a claim under regulation 11(1) if the potential claimant submits a request to administrator before the bar date.
(7) The FSA may also submit a request to the administrator under paragraph (6) if the FSA considers that there are particular circumstances in respect of a claimant, or a class of claimants, that mean that those persons will have difficulty submitting their claim before the bar date.
115.—(1) This rule applies to the submission of claims as described in regulation 11(1)(a).
(2) A person submitting a claim must submit that claim in writing to the administrator.
(3) The claim must—

(b)state the following matters—
(i)the claimant’s name and address,
(ii)the total amount of client assets held or believed to be held for that claimant by the investment bank as at the time that the investment bank entered administration, categorised into type and securities of a particular description,
(iii)details as to the types of ownership the claimant asserts over those assets,
(iv)details of all financial contracts the claimant has entered into under which, at the time the claim is submitted, liabilities are still owed from either the investment bank to the claimant or vice versa, and
(v)details of any security granted by the claimant in respect of the client assets held by the investment bank; and
(c)the name, address and authority of the person signing the claim, if not the claimant.
(4) The claim shall specify details of any documents by reference to which the claim can be substantiated; but (subject to paragraph (5)), it is not essential that such documents be attached to the claim or submitted with it.
(5) Where the administrator thinks it necessary for the purpose of substantiating the whole or any part of a claim submitted, the administrator may—
(a)call for any document or other evidence to be produced; or
(b)send a request in writing for further information from the claimant.
(6) In this rule, “securities of a particular description” has the meaning set out in regulation 12(9).

(ii)details of any security interest asserted by the claimant over any client assets held by the investment bank, including details of the client assets to which the security interest relates, the date on which the security interest was granted, conditions for the release of the security and the value which the claimant puts on the security interest,
(iii)details of any other parties’ interest in the security interest that are known to the claimant, and
(iv)any other information relating to the security interest that the claimant considers useful to the administrator in determining the rights attached to the client assets which are the subject of the claim; and
(c)the name, address and authority of the person signing the claim.

117. Unless the court orders otherwise, every claimant under rule 115 or 116 bears the cost of making a claim, including expenses incurred in providing documents or evidence or responding to requests for further information.
118.—(1) If a new administrator is appointed in place of another, the former administrator must as soon as reasonably practicable transmit to the new administrator all claims received, together with an itemised list of them.
(2) The new administrator shall authenticate the list by way of receipt for the claims, and return it to the former administrator.
