(a)to repay as soon as reasonably practicable any money which may, when detailed assessment is made, prove to have been overpaid; and
(b)to pay interest on any such sum as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) at the rate specified in section 17 of the Judgments Act 1838 on the date payment was made and for the period beginning with the date of payment and ending with the date of repayment.

(4) If that person does not commence detailed assessment proceedings within 3 months of the requirement under paragraph (3), or within such further time as the court, on application, may permit, the administrator may deal with the investment bank’s estate without regard to any claim by that person, whose claim is forfeited by such failure to commence proceedings.
(5) Where in any such case such a claim lies additionally against the administrator in the administrator’s personal capacity, that claim is also forfeited by such failure to commence proceedings.
Costs of officers charged with execution of writs or other process
264.—(1) This rule applies where an enforcement officer, or other officer charged with execution of the writ or other person—
(a)is required under section 184(2) of the 1986 Act to deliver up goods or money; or
(b)has under section 184(3) of the 1986 Act(3) deducted costs from the proceeds of an execution or money paid to that officer or that person (as the case may be).
(2) The administrator may require in writing that the amount of the enforcement officer’s or other officer’s bill of costs be decided by detailed assessment and where such a requirement is made, rule 263(4) applies.
(3) Where, in the case of a deduction of the kind mentioned in paragraph (1)(b), any amount deducted is disallowed at the conclusion of the detailed assessment proceedings, the enforcement officer must as soon as reasonably practicable pay a sum equal to that disallowed to the administrator for the benefit of the investment bank’s estate.
Costs paid otherwise than out of the investment bank’s estate
265. Where the amount of costs is decided by detailed assessment under an order of the court directing that those costs are to be paid otherwise than out of the investment bank’s estate or out of the client assets, the costs officer must note on the final costs certificate by whom, or the manner in which, the costs are to be paid.
Award of costs against the administrator
266. Without prejudice to any provision of the Regulations or Rules by virtue of which the administrator is not in any event to be liable for costs and expenses, where the administrator is made a party to any proceedings on the application of another party to the proceedings, the administrator is not to be personally liable for the costs unless the court otherwise directs.
Applications for costs
267.—(1) This rule applies where a party to, or person affected by, any proceedings in the special administration applies to the court for an order allowing their costs, or part of them, incidental to the proceedings, and that application is not made at the time of the proceedings.
(2) The person concerned must serve a sealed copy of the application on the administrator.
(3) The administrator may appear on an application.

268. Except as directed by the court, no allowance as a witness in any examination or other proceedings before the court is to be made to an officer of the investment bank to which the proceedings relate.
269.—(1) A final costs certificate of the costs officer is final and conclusive as to all matters which have not been objected to in the manner provided for under the rules of the court.

(3) After arresting P, the officer must as soon as reasonably practicable report to the court the arrest or delivery into custody (as the case may be) of P and apply to the court to fix a venue for P’s examination.
(4) The court shall appoint the earliest practicable time for the examination, and must—
