6.173.—(1) [[FORM 6.56]] A request by a creditor to the official receiver, under section 290(2), for the bankrupt to be publicly examined shall be made in writing and be accompanied by—
(a)a list of the creditors concurring with the request and the amount of their respective claims in the bankruptcy,
(b)from each creditor concurring, written confirmation of his concurrence, and
(c)a statement of the reasons why the examination is requested.
Sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply if the requisitioning creditor's debt is alone sufficient, without the concurrence of others.
(2) Before an application to the court is made on the request, the requisitionist shall deposit with the official receiver such sum as the latter may determine to be appropriate by way of security for the expenses of the hearing of a public examination, if ordered.
(3) Subject as follows, the official receiver shall, within 28 days of receiving the request, make the application to the court required by section 290(2).
(4) If the official receiver is of opinion that the request is an unreasonable one in the circumstances, he may apply to the court for an order relieving him from the obligation to make the application otherwise required by that subsection.
(5) If the court so orders, and the application for the order was made ex parte, notice of the order shall be given forthwith by the official receiver to the requisitionist. If the application for an order is dismissed, the official receiver's application under section 290(2) shall be made forthwith on conclusion of the hearing of the application first mentioned.
