The applicant may, together with his application or subsequently thereto, file such affidavits in support thereof as he thinks it, such affidavits shall be accompanied by a duplicate thereof, and copies thereof shall be served by the applicant in like manner as a copy of the original application is required to be served.

Service of documents in the first instance upon the mortgagee or other persons affected shall be effected either personally or by forwarding in a prepaid registered postal packet addressed to the mortgagee or other person at his last known address or place of abode, and all subsequent documents, until otherwise ordered by the Court, may be served by forwarding the same in a prepaid registered postal packet addressed to the applicant, mortgagee, or other person at the address for service set out in the mortgagee’s application or set out by mortgagees or other persons as provided by Regulation 10 hereof, and a document so forwarded shall be deemed to be served at the time when it would reach its address in the ordinary course of registered post.

In all cases (other than those where the parties pursuant to section 10 of the Mortgagors and Tenants Relief Act, 1932, otherwise agree) the Registrar shall, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, refer all applications to an Adjustment Commission for investigation by sending to such Commission the copy of the application filed with the original as required by Regulation 5, and from time to time as further documents are filed the Registrar shall send duplicates thereof to the Adjustment Commission.

  7. Upon receipt by the Registrar of the report of the Adjustment Commission he shall, after reference to the parties or their respective solicitors (if any), fix a time and place for the hearing of the application, and give notice thereof to all parties concerned in the form numbered 3 in the Schedule hereto.

  8. The Court may, in its discretion, admit any document not in accordance with these regulations or waive any irregularity.
