6.139.—(1) Any creditor of the bankrupt may, with the concurrence of at least 25 per cent. in value of the creditors (including himself), apply to the court for an order that the trustee's remuneration be reduced, on the grounds that it is, in all the circumstances, excessive.
(2) The court may, if it thinks that no sufficient cause is shown for the application, dismiss it; but it shall not do so unless the applicant has had an opportunity to attend the court for an ex parte hearing, of which he has been given at least 7 days' notice.
(3) If the application is not dismissed under paragraph (2), the court shall fix a venue for it to be heard.
(4) The applicant shall, at least 14 days before the hearing date, send to the trustee a notice stating the venue so fixed; and the notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the application, and of any evidence which the applicant intends to adduce in support of it.
(5) If the court considers the application to be well-founded, it shall make an order fixing the remuneration at a reduced amount or rate.
(6) Unless the court orders otherwise, the costs of the application shall be paid by the applicant, and do not fall on the estate.
