A creditor may claim for a debt already incurred at the time of the commission of an\nact of bankruptcy whether or not such debt was due for payment at that time and,\nwhere no rate of interest in the event of non-payment has been stipulated, interest at\nsix per cent per annum shall be payable calculated from the date when each debt\nbecomes due and owing under the conditions upon which it was incurred.\n36.\nSecured creditors\n36. If it is found, upon application by any person by motion or otherwise, that that person\nis a mortgagee of or has security over any part of a bankrupt\u2019s estate or effects, real\nor personal, and has good title thereto, the Court shall take account of the principal,\ninterest, costs and other proceeds due upon such mortgage or security and direct\nwhere, when, and in what manner the premises are to be sold and that such sale shall\nbe made accordingly and that the Trustee (unless otherwise ordered) shall have the\nconduct of the sale; and all proper parties shall join in the conveyance to the purchaser\nas the Court shall direct.\n37.\nApplication of proceeds of sale\n37. The proceeds arising from a sale under Rule 36 shall be applied in the following\norder \u2014\n\nRule 38\nGrand Court (Bankruptcy) Rules (2021 Revision)\n\nPage 14\nRevised as at 31st December, 2020\nc\n\n(a) the costs, charges and expenses of the Trustee;\n(b) the costs of the application;\n(c) the costs, charges and expenses of and attending the sale;\n(d) the claim of the secured creditor; and\n(e) any surplus to the Trustee\nand if the full claim of such secured creditor remains unsatisfied that creditor\nmay claim rateably with the other creditors in respect of any dividends\ndistributed after such sale.\n38.\nInvestigation of title by the Court\n38.
