Procedure for obtaining court approval for fees as Administrator/Provisional Liquidator/Liquidator
1.
A Notice in accordance with Supreme Court Corporations Form 16, together with a copy of the affidavit to be relied upon (See Affidavit A) in the application, must be sent to the following:
  (a)  If it is Administrator’s Fees
  (i)
to each creditor who was present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting of creditors which failed to approve the fees under Section 449E;
  (ii) to each member of any committee of creditors;
  (iii)
to each member of the company whose shareholding represents 10% of the issued capital.
  (b) If it is liquidator’s or provisional liquidator’s fees
  (i)
to any liquidator (in the case of an application by a provisional liquidator);
  (ii)
to each creditor present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting held pursuant to Section 473(4);
  (iii) each member of any committee of inspection;
  (iv)
to each member of the company whose shareholding represents 10% of the issued capital.
2.
21 days after service of that Notice and Affidavit, the application and Affidavit A can be filed. In addition an Affidavit of Service (Affidavit B) should also be filed. The application should be prepared and filed by your solicitors.
3.
If any person has objected to the fees, then the application is to be served on those parties. Generally, the application is dealt with without the need for any attendance in Court although it is not unusual to receive requisitions from the Registrar prior to a figure being approved.
