64. Payment into Court by trustees

( 1)

Trustees or the majority of trustees having in their hands or under their control money or securities belonging or alleged by such trustees to belong to a trust may pay the same into Court and the same shall, subject to rules of court, be dealt with according to the orders of the Court.

The receipt or certificate of the proper officer of the Court shall be sufficient discharge to the trustees for the money or securities so paid into Court.

Where money or securities are vested in any persons as trustees and the majority are desirous of paying the same into Court but the concurrence of the other or others cannot be obtained, the Court may order the payment into Court to be made by the majority without the concurrence of the other or others.

Where any such money or securities are deposited with any banker, broker or other depository, the Court may order payment or delivery of the money or securities to the majority of the trustees for the purpose of payment into Court.

Every transfer, payment and delivery made in pursuance of any such order of the Court shall be valid and shall take effect as if the same had been made on the authority or by the act of all the persons entitled to the money and securities so transferred, paid or delivered.
