IRISH BANKRUPT AND INSOLVENT ACT 1857 - SECT 311

In case of debts due to bankrupt's estate, Court may order payment.

311. If on the examination of any person alleged to be a debtor to the estate
of any bankrupt ... it shall appear that such person is indebted to the
bankrupt ... in any sum of money, and that there is no set off or defence to
the same, it shall be lawful for the Court, if it think fit, to order ... that
such person shall forthwith, or at such time and in such manner as to
the Court may seem expedient, pay the amount to the official assignee,
together with the costs of and incident to the summons of such person, if
the Court think fit to award costs; or the Court may, if it think fit, ...
order the official assignee to pay the costs of the person summoned out of the
estate of the bankrupt .... Provided also, that if part only of the sum
actually due be so admitted, or if the Court make an order for part only of
the sum, the residue may be recoverable in the same manner in all respects as
if no such order had been made.
