Following an examination by or on behalf of the court of an item or items in an account to which objection is taken the result of such examination must be certified by a Master, the Admiralty Registrar, a district judge of the Family Division or a district judge, as the case may be, and an order may thereupon be made as to the incidence of any costs or expenses incurred.

Without prejudice to paragraph (1) where a receiver fails to attend for the examination of any account of his or fails to submit any account or fails to pay into court on the date fixed by the court any sum required to be so paid, the court may disallow any remuneration claimed by the receiver and may, where he has failed to pay any such sum into court, charge him with interest at the rate currently payable in respect of judgment debts in the High Court on that sum while in his possession as receiver.

A receiver may at any time request the court to give him directions and such request shall state in writing the matters with regard to which directions are required.
