The court held that an IPO under s43E can claim accrued maintenance and income to which the bankrupt is entitled during bankruptcy even if entitlement arose before the IPO or bankruptcy, provided the income has not been paid out or the bankrupt is not discharged; the trustees' IPO was not struck out and was allowed to claim the bulk of maintenance subject to a deduction for the bankrupt's assessed reasonable domestic needs; the trustees were not removed for misconduct.
