96. A creditor proving his debt shall deduct therefrom (a) any
discount which he may have agreed to allow for payment in cash in
excess of five per centum on the net amount of his claim and (b) all
frade discounts.
97. When any rent or other payment falls due at stated periods,
and the order or resolution to wind-up is made at any time other
than one of those periods, the persons entitled to the rent or pay-
ment may prove for a proportionate part thereof up to the date of the
winding-up order or resolution as if the rent or payment grew due from
day to day. Provided that where the Liquidator remains in occupa-
tion of premises demised to a Company which is being wound up,
nothing herein contained shall prejudice or affect the right of the
andlord of such premises to claim payment by the Company, or the
Liquidator, of rent during the period of the Company’s or the
Liguidator’s occupation.
98. On any debt or sum certain, payable at a certain time or
otherwise, whereon interest is not reserved or agreed for, and which
is overdue at the date of the commencement of the winding-up,
the creditor may prove for interest at a rate not exceeding four per
centum per annum to that date from the time when the debt or sum
was payable, if the debt or sum is payable by virtue of a written
instrument at a certain time, and if payable otherwise, then from
the time when a demand in writing has been made, giving notice
that interest will be claimed from the date of the demand until the
rime of payment.
99. A creditor may prove for a debt not payable at the date of the
winding-up order or resolution, as if it were payable presently, and
may receive dividends equally with the other creditors, deducting
only thereout a rebate of interest at the rate of five per centum per
annum computed from the declaration of a dividend to the time when
the debt would have become payable according to the terms on which
it was contracted.
100. Unless the Official Receiver or Liquidator shall in any special
case otherwise direct formal proof of the debts mentioned in para-
graph (¢) of subsection (1) of section 264 of the Act shall not be
required.
101. In any case in which it appears that there are numerous
claims for wages by workmen and others employed by the Company,
it shall be sufficient if one proof for all such claims is made either by a
foreman or by some other person on behalf of all such creditors.
Such proof shall have annexed thereto as forming part thereof, a
schedule setting forth the names of the workmen and others, and the
amounts severally due to them. Any proof made in compliance
with this Rule shall have the same effect as if separate proofs had
been made by each of the said workmen and others.
