The Investment Bank Special Administration (England and Wales) Rules 2011

Treatment of late claimants

147.—(1) This rule applies where after a distribution has taken place, the administrator receives a claim of the type described in regulation 11(1).

(2) Where the claim is not submitted in accordance with rule 139 or, as the case may be, rule 140, the administrator shall notify the claimant accordingly and ask them to resubmit their claim in accordance with the relevant rule.

(3) Where the claim is submitted in accordance with rule 139 or 140, if the administrator determines that, had the claim been submitted before the bar date, the claimant would have received client assets as part of the distribution —

(a) if enough of those assets amounting to what the client would have received in the distribution are still available to be distributed, they shall be returned to the client as soon as reasonably practicable and any remainder of the claimant’s claim shall be included in the distribution plan for further distributions; and

(b) if there are insufficient assets, any assets that can be returned to the claimant shall be, but the claimant may submit a proof under rule 152 for the value of those client assets not returned.

(4) Where the claimant’s proof under paragraph (3)(b) is in respect of assets that are securities, the value of those securities is to be calculated in accordance with rule 91 and for this purpose the references to “chair” in rule 91 shall be read as references to the administrator.

(5) The administrator may amend the distribution plan to reflect the return of client assets under this rule without need for the plan to be approved again by either the court or the creditors’ committee.
