6.153.—(1) A member of the creditors' committee may, in relation to the business of the committee, be represented by another person duly authorised by him for that purpose.
(2) A person acting as a committee-member's representative must hold a letter of authority entitling him so to act (either generally or specially) and signed by or on behalf of the committee-member, and for this purpose any proxy in relation to any meeting of creditors of the bankrupt shall, unless it contains a statement to the contrary, be treated as such a letter of authority to act generally signed by or on behalf of the committee-member.
(3) The chairman at any meeting of the committee may call on a person claiming to act as a committee-member's representative to produce his letter of authority, and may exclude him if it appears that his authority is deficient.
(4) No member may be represented by a body corporate, or by a person who is an undischarged bankrupt or is subject to a composition or arrangement with his creditors.
(5) No person shall—
(a)on the same committee, act at one and the same time as representative of more than one committee-member, or
(b)act both as a member of the committee and as representative of another member.
(6) Where the representative of a committee-member signs any document on the latter's behalf, the fact that he so signs must be stated below his signature.
(7) The acts of the committee are valid notwithstanding any defect in the appointment or qualifications of any committee-member's representative.
