6.179.—(1) Within 7 days after the day on which a copy of the notice of disclaimer is returned to him, the trustee shall send or give copies of the notice (showing the date endorsed as required by Rule 6.178) to the persons mentioned in paragraphs (2) to (5) below.
(2) Where the property disclaimed is of a leasehold nature, he shall send or give a copy to every person who (to his knowledge) claims under the bankrupt as underlessee or mortgagee.
(3) Where the disclaimer is of property in a dwelling-house, he shall send or give a copy to every person who (to his knowledge) is in occupation of, or claims a right to occupy, the house.
(4) He shall in any case send or give a copy of the notice to every person who (to his knowledge)—
(a)claims an interest in the disclaimed property, or
(b)is under any liability in respect of the property, not being a liability discharged by the disclaimer.
(5) If the disclaimer is of an unprofitable contract, he shall send or give copies of the notice to all such persons as, to his knowledge, are parties to the contract or have interests under it.
(6) If subsequently it comes to the trustee's knowledge, in the case of any person, that he has such an interest in the disclaimed property as would have entitled him to receive a copy of the notice of disclaimer in pursuance of paragraphs (2) to (5), the trustee shall then forthwith send or give to that person a copy of the notice.
But compliance with this paragraph is not required if—
(a)the trustee is satisfied that the person has already been made aware of the disclaimer and its date, or
(b)the court, on the trustee's application, orders that compliance is not required in that particular case.
