45. (1) Section 99 of the Principal Act is amended by omitting from
sub-section (1) "the trustee, a creditor or the bankrupt considers that" and
substituting "a creditor or the bankrupt considers that, by virtue of a
decision of the trustee under sub-section 102 (1), (3) or (4),".

(2) Subject to sub-section (3), section 99 of the Principal Act as amended by
sub-section (1) of this section applies in relation to a proof of debt
admitted by a trustee-

   (a)  by virtue of a decision of the trustee made under sub-section 102 (1)
        of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 either before or after the commencement of
        this section; or

   (b)  by virtue of a decision of the trustee made under sub-section 102 (3)
        or (4) of the Principal Act as amended by this Act after the
        commencement of this section.

(3) Notwithstanding the amendment of section 99 of the Principal Act made by
sub-section (1) of this section, the provisions of that section of the
Principal Act continue to apply, after the commencement of this section, in
relation to an application made to the Court under that section of the
Principal Act before the commencement of this section as if that amendment had
not been made, and section 99 of the Principal Act as amended by sub-section
(1) of this section does not apply in relation to such an application.
