Clause 63

Where the amount at credit in a fidelity fund is insufficient to pay the whole amount of all claims against it which have been allowed or in respect of which orders of the Court have been made as aforesaid, then the amount at credit in the fund shall, subject to the provisions of subsection (2) of this section be apportioned between the claimants in such manner as the committee thinks equitable, and any such claim so far as it then remains unpaid shall be charged against future receipts of the fund and paid out of the fund when moneys are available therein.

Where the aggregate of all claims which have been allowed or in respect of which orders of the Court have been made (as aforesaid) in relation to defalcations by or in connection with a sole trader or member firm or member company exceeds the total amount which may pursuant to subsection (2) of section 54 of this Act be paid under this Part in respect of that sole trader or member firm or member company then the said total amount shall be apportioned between the claimants in such manner as the committee thinks equitable, and upon payment out of the fund of the said total amount in accordance with such apportionment all such claims and any orders relating thereto and all other claims against the fund which may thereafter arise or be made in respect of defalcations by or in connection with the said sole trader or member firm or company shall be absolutely discharged.
